    I lost my health insurance about a month ago and I lost count of when I'm suppose to start my period again, my fiancé and I have had unprotected sex 3-4 time this past month, should I take a pregnancy test at home even though I'm not sure when I'm suppose to expect my period or what?

    It wouldn't hurt 2 get a pregnancy test and find out if your pregnant or maybe try going to a doctor

    Medicaid offers insurance specifically for pregnancy... might want to look into that if you don't have coverage coming available soon.

    As the others have said, try a test, might ease your mind. If negative, wait for your next period. If positive, then you will know to look into getting prenatal care. There is help available even if you don't have insurance at this time. Either way, if you are trying to get pregnant, and certainly since you aren't using birth control, be sure to start on a multivitamin with 400mcg (at least) folic acid in it. Good idea to be taking this before conception whenever possible as it can help in preventing certain birth defects.
