Nausea and/or vomiting
Breast tenderness
Weight gain

Pregnancy tests:

Home pregnancy tests are available in stores without a prescription
They are very accurate
If the first test is negative, but you are still experiencing symptoms, take another test
If the results are positive, go see a doctor to confirm the test and get a physical examination. Find a Clinic near you.

Emergency Contraception (EC):

Often called the morning after pill
Emergency Contraception is a pill that prevents pregnancy after unprotected sex or if a barrier method fails. Like, for instance, if a condom breaks
EC works up to 5 days after the event of unprotected sex
Men and women 17 years of age or older can get EC at most drug stores
Men and women 16 years of age or younger need a prescription for EC
