The enjoyment for the moment becomes worries of days.
None of the partner; a boy and a girl is unaware of what all can happen later on. They are least concerned about precautions and contraceptives are just out of their minds. Many of the girls never know that they are pregnant and when they come to know about it, it is extremely difficult for them to disclose this to anyone especially her parents. Certain signs and symptoms are noticed by parents even though girls try to hide them all.
This could be the result of rape by one or by a group. The cases of rapes are increasing day-by-day. The victims can be of any age; girl, adolescent, woman or even elderly women. Forcefully induced intercourse results into unplanned pregnancy. This is indeed a crime but the victim has to bear the bitter fruit of adverse circumstances.

The desire of sex depends on nothing and irrespective of the place, timing it may hit both of you! This is non-ignorable reason for having unplanned pregnancy.

It is wasteful that you remember to take a pill while your boyfriend is making love to you, neither the seduction will allow you to do so!
Here, the cause is clear. Playing unsafe! Married couples often miss to calculate in an appropriate way. it becomes quite confusing for a lady to count her ‘safe-days’ on digits and none of the digital calculator will show you an accurate dates indicating how safe you are tonight for your play!
Men, on the other hand, are less bothered about your ‘safeness’. What they all know is reaching orgasm whenever they feel. Of course, it pleases you too, probably more than them but then when you learn about your unplanned pregnancy, you put your hands down.
Many times men avoid using their way of contraception like condoms. In rare cases, your IUD will also fail and make you pregnant. Emergency pills will work only if you take them certain hours before you make a love. The frequency of making love does matter to get pregnancy, whether willingly or against your will.
The first thing, noticeable, is missing the period. If you have missed the period, beware of having something. You should go for pregnancy test as soon as possible. Here, the missed period means for them who have regular cycle. If you are running irregular in menstrual cycle, you may have to depend on other symptoms.

Pain in abdomen is common and later on, you may feel like lump in the abdomen.
The best way is testing pregnancy at home. One can buy test kits at drug store and this is available as OTC product, a product that does not need any doctor’s prescription. These home use kits detect something called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone that is present in the urine of a pregnant woman. These home tests are considered as qualitative tests that result either negative or positive.
The most sensitive test for pregnancy is excellently performed in laboratory using the blood sample. These tests not only detect hCG but they also tell you the amount of the hormone that doubles every second or third day during the first few weeks of pregnancy. These tests can tell you the pregnancy period and can even detect the possible problems that occur commonly during pregnancy.
Most of the pregnant women prefer the privacy and therefore choose these home pregnancy tests. However, home pregnancy tests are not as accurate as the blood tests in the laboratory, but still they are favorite methods among women across the world.
The cure depends upon the age, stage of pregnancy and the circumstances of a girl or woman. In most cases, females would not get agree to bear a child out of unwanted pregnancies. This is the reason; most of the cases are terminated with the help of medical sciences.
Dilatation and curettage is the method in which certain instruments are used to scrap-up the vaginal canal up to certain depth. But the loophole for this procedure is it is not useful if the unwanted pregnancy has crossed certain period above which, it could be dangerous for a pregnant woman.
