Family Planning Plus

If the condom slipped off and sperm spilled in the woman’s vagina, there is a possibility that pregnancy could occur.

Neither the emergency contraceptive (“morning after pill”) nor the regular birth control pills will terminate an already existing pregnancy. Emergency contraceptives help prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation, and are most effective when taken with 24 to 72 hours after unprotected intercourse.

If you and your partner are going to continue to be sexually active, it is a good idea to begin using a reliable method of birth control. Your partner should make an appointment with her doctor or family planning clinic for initiation of the birth control pills. Have your partner discuss the concern of pregnancy with the health care provider; he/she may perform a pregnancy test.

Family Planning Plus clinics offer gynecological exams, birth control, pregnancy testing and emergency contraception for little to no cost, depending on your household size and income. STD screenings are free for men and women of all ages. Please feel free to schedule an appointment at any of our clinic locations.
