Family Planning Plus

If your period occurred after the unprotected sex and if it was a normal period, there is no need to take a pregnancy test. For peace of mind, you can wait 4-5 weeks after the intercourse and then take a pregnancy test.

If your period occurred before the unprotected sex, wait until you are one week or more late for your period to take a pregnancy test. If it is negative, repeat the test every two weeks until you have a normal period or a positive test result.

If you do not wish to be pregnant, please either abstain from sexual intercourse or use a method of birth control. When used correctly and consistently, condoms are approximately 98% effective and they can be purchased almost anywhere.  We also have free condoms available at all of our offices. You do not need an appointment to pick up condoms.

If you think you may be interested in starting another method of birth control, and you live near one of our offices, please call us for an appointment. We can talk with you about all of your birth control options and help you choose one that best fits your lifestyle. If you live further away, contact the Family Planning or Planned Parenthood office closest to you.
