Am 20, I and my boyfriend had sex and our condom broke. I had a warm bath (this occurred about 2 weeks ago...) but I am worried. I was supposed to get my period last week and it has yet to come am scared because I keep feeling feverish and all times.  A friend advised that I should go for an abortion, but we are very, very short on money, so we cannot afford an abortion. I personally can't afford having a baby, because am too busy with my study. I was just wondering if there is a way to do an abortion at home or home remedies, such as eating something or drinking something...

I really don't want to hear about how I should let the baby live or give it up for adoption. Because when I am ready to have children, I will keep them for me to raise.

There are no home remedies. You can get sexual health & pregnancy advice from Planned Parenthood or The Family Planning Clinic for free, they will give you a pregnancy test and will help you if you are pregnant.

 First, you have to make sure that you're actually pregnant, then you can decide what to do. It's good that you were using a condom. You were being responsible. It's not your fault that the condom broke. 
Since you said that you don't have much money, keep in mind that having an abortion costs less money than raising a child. 
Please do not try any "home remedies" for abortion. They do not work, and most are very dangerous. You have to see a doctor. Your health is important.
