Family Planning Plus

Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the risk of pregnancy.

When taken within 24 hours after unprotected sex, Plan B is about 75 to 80% effective at preventing pregnancy. One of the ways Plan B helps prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation.

After taking Plan B, your partner should have a period within 2-3 weeks. Her next period may be a little earlier or later than usual. It may be lighter, heavier or spottier than normal. If her period is more than 1 week late, do a pregnancy test.

If you and your partner are not planning a pregnancy at this time, consider using condoms consistently. Your partner may want to begin a long term method of birth control like the birth control pills or Depo Provera injection.

Family Planning Plus clinics offer gynecological exams and birth control for little to no cost, depending on your household size and income. You are welcome to schedule an appointment at any of our 4 clinic locations.
