If you had your period, it is unlikely that you are pregnant. Keep in mind that menstrual cycles can vary from month to month. Because each month can have a different number of days in it (29, 30, 31 days), the date of your next period may not be the same for every month. Additionally, other things, like stress, illness, and change in sleep patternĀ can affect your cycle, making your period come earlier or later than usual.
If you and your partner are not planning a pregnancy at this time, consider consistently using condoms or starting a long term method of birth control, like the birth control pills, patch vaginal ring or the Depo Provera injection.
Family Planning Plus clinics offer gynecological exams, birth control, pregnancy testing and emergency contraception for little to no cost, depending on your household size and income. STD screenings are free for men and women of all ages. Please feel free to schedule an appointment at any of our clinic locations.
