 first thing to do if your not sure that you are pregnant is to take a test if it's if it's positive then you have options the first one is that depending on how far along you are there is a morning after pill which can be taken 72 hours after intercourse but if your further along you will have to go to a clinic to have an abortion that is of course you don't want the baby. Good luck and be more careful in the future xx

Still having doubts, visit the family doctor.
Discover you are pregnant and don't want to be, talk to the doctor and let him/her know and she/he will be able to direct you to the best option(s) for you.

 You need to talk to a doctor about this.
[following advice applies more to UK people]
There is the emergency contraceptive pill that you can take within 72 hours. It's not really a contraceptive, it is more a form of abortion.
There is also an abortion pill that is quite new. You can take it up to 9 weeks in to pregnancy. One pill is placed in the vagina, the other is swallowed. Termination occurs in a few hours. A visit to the hospital or clinic is also required. This pill is not usually available on the NHS, you can pay for it in a private clinic, it's a few hundred pounds I believe. [but might be wrong it's been about a year since I had this information]
Speak to your doctor if you want medical advice.

 Depending on how far along you are, there are pills you can take (the morning after pill that are to be taken w/in the first 72 hours of intercourse, etc). Contact your ob/gyn to find out more options. You could also call up the clinic if you don't have a doctor and see if they can answer any of your questions over the phone about alternative methods.

 No it is the only way, after the first few days at least.
But if you are not sure you are pregnant, the first thing to do is to go and buy a home pregnancy test and find out. Once you are sure you can decide what to do.
