" Question I had sex for the first time four weeks ago and it was unprotected.  My period was due four days ago and still hasn&amp;amp;#8217;t come.  If I&amp;amp;#8217;m pregnant I have been for nearly four weeks. If I want an abortion, how many weeks can I leave it before it&amp;amp;#8217;s too late?   Answer  If you are still overdue for a period then an over-the-counter pregnancy test will now confirm whether you are pregnant or not.  If not, then do think about proper contraception for the future &amp;amp;#8211; you have been very lucky!  If you are indeed pregnant then you are able to have a termination any time from now until 12-weeks and much beyond, but the earlier you have it done the easier it is.  See your doctor if you are pregnant and this can be arranged.
