Emergency Contraception

Must be used within 72 hours of intercourse.

What is Emergency Contraception?

Emergency contraception is a little-known method of birth control that's used after unprotected sex, or when a condom breaks or a diaphragm slips.   Within 72 hours of unprotected sex, we provide a specific dose of birth control pills as directed by our doctor.   This prevents pregnancy safely and effectively.  There are 3.5 million unintended pregnancies in the U. S. each year.  Many of them could be prevented with access to emergency contraception. 

Emergency contraception or "morning after treatment" is not abortion.  It gives women a second chance to prevent pregnancy.  This method is FDA approved.   Fewer unplanned pregnancies will mean fewer abortions. 


That's something we all want.
