How timing affects your options
The number of weeks since your last period plays a big role in what kind of abortion care is available to you.
If you're under 12 weeks of pregnancy, carafem can provide either an abortion with pills or a procedural abortion, depending on what's best for you.
If you’re past 12 weeks, we recommend an in-office procedure, which is just as safe and may be a better option depending on how far along you are.
If you’re unsure about your dates or think you might be past the point for pills, don’t worry — we’ll help you figure out what’s next. Please call us at (855) 729-2272.
Every person and pregnancy is different. That’s why this calculator is just a first step. Once we have your result, we’ll help guide you to care that fits your needs and timeline.
Frequently asked questions
It’s completely understandable to feel concerned if you’re cramping after sex.
Cramping right after sex is usually not a sign of pregnancy. It’s more often caused by:
Muscle contractions during orgasm
Gas or digestive issues
Sensitivity in the pelvic area
If you’re wondering about pregnancy, implantation cramping happens later — typically 6 to 12 days after conception, not immediately after sex.
If the cramping continues, feels severe, or just doesn’t feel normal to you, it’s a good idea to check in with a healthcare provider.
Light bleeding or spotting right after sex is usually caused by things like:
Cervical irritation
Vaginal dryness
A minor infection
If spotting happens 6 to 12 days after unprotected sex, it could be a sign of early pregnancy, called implantation bleeding.
Not sure? A pregnancy test or a quick check-in with a healthcare provider can help you know for sure.
You won’t notice symptoms right after sex. It usually takes 7 to 14 days for pregnancy hormones to build up enough to cause changes.
Some early signs may include:
Fatigue
Sore or tender breasts
Mild nausea
For the most accurate results, take a pregnancy test at least 10 to 14 days after unprotected sex.
Not usually. Pain during sex is not a common sign of early pregnancy.
It’s more often caused by:
Infections
Hormonal changes not related to pregnancy
Other medical conditions
If sex is painful, it’s a good idea to talk with a healthcare provider to find out what’s going on and get the right care.
The most reliable way to know is to take a pregnancy test — most home tests can detect pregnancy hormones about 10 to 14 days after conception.
Some early signs of pregnancy may include:
Missed period
Tender or swollen breasts
Unusual fatigue
Nausea or vomiting (morning sickness)
More frequent urination
Keep in mind, these symptoms can also be caused by other things. If you're unsure, take a test and reach out to a healthcare provider for support.
