no there is no age restrictions on buying pregnancy tests, so go get one asap. remember that it works best on the day your period is due and any day after that. If you do one before that theres only a between a 66% -98% chance it will show up if you are pregnant and u might end up having to do another test. If you are not pregnant then go to the doctors and sort out some sort of contraception. If you think your not gonna be able to remember to take pill then there are other methods, just do something about it now. You should have learned your lesson before, so i hope you've learned it now. Good Luck

I assume you mean pregnancy test. In the US, There is no age requirement to buy a test but depending on if you are in some conservative place or just have a crazy conservative pharmacist they may tell on you to your parents if they know you...
i suggest you go to planned parenthood if you want a free test, and can also get on birth control to prevent future pregnancies.
you could also go to one of those crisis pregnancy centers for a free test but be aware, they will try to scare you out of an abortion if that is a consideration for you. and I have heard stories that sometimes they tell you you are not pregnant if they know you want an abortion so that you will be too pregnant by the time you figure it out to get an abortion b/c you can't get an abortion after about 23 weeks.
There's lots of different types of birth control out there and many have few sides effects and even good effects (like less acne, less bleeding, less cramps, less ovarian cancer) Better to prevent a pregnancy than have to deal with the stress of an unwanted one.
Also, Plan B or emergency contraception has been approved to go over the counter for people 18 and over. It can prevent pregnancy up to 5 days after an accident (rape, broken condom, forgot to take your birth control pills) but works better the sooner you take it. If you are pregnant and take it, it does NOT work but it also does not hurt the growing fetus. But would be a waste of $$$ to take it if you are already pregnant. It only works 75% of the time, so better to be on a regular birth control method like condoms and birth control pills, the patch, the shot, or the IUD (which lasts 5 years and can be taken out sooner if you want to get pregnant before that)

There is no age limit on buying a home pregnancy test, that's why you can but them over the counter. If your not the age of consent yet and maybe pregnant again you obviously need to talk to someone. You should practise safe sex, its not just about babies it's about all the other nasties you can get that are out there.
Good luck but be careful too. xx

there should be free clinics you can go to that will give you a pregnancy test for free, without parental consent. Or yes you should be able to just go to the store and buy a pregnancy test yourself.
But ether way you should really tell your mother about it, and may consider keeping your legs closed in the future, or at the very least go on birth control and make your boyfriend were a condom.

I don't think you have to be a certain age and if you do, a lot of chemists will ignore it. You may get dirty glares though.
It might help if you have an older female friend, who'd buy it for you and go through it with you.
If you go to the doctors for one though, if I remember correctly they can inform your parent until you're 16.

There shouldn't be any age limit on buying a pregnancy test. Not to my knowledge.
