It may be too late to prevent a pregnancy if you had unprotected sex during your fertile period. Having premarital sex at a relatively young age has a lot of challenges, ranging from the possibilities of sexually transmitted infection, unwanted pregnancy, as well as emotional problems which could be averted by waiting much longer before diving into the practice.  The-Youth-Friendly-Clinic at the nearest health centre to you can however avail you of the different forms of contraceptives available to you for your protection against such challenges.
