Emergency Contraception

Emergency contraception (EC) is a safe and effective way to prevent pregnancy after you have unprotected intercourse. Emergency contraception is sometimes called the morning after pill, backup birth control, or by the brand name Plan B. It is a form of birth control, not abortion.

Accidents happen — that’s why we have Plan B. Did you have intercourse without using protection? Did you forget to use your birth control correctly? Did the condom break, leaving you worried about becoming pregnant? Or maybe it wasn't an accident — were you forced to have intercourse without protection? If so, Plan B might be a good choice for you. It
can be effective up to five days (120 hours) after unprotected
intercourse--but the sooner you take it, the better. To learn more

PPSEV provides very affordable EC as a walk-in service to anyone 18 and older without a prescription. Those younger than 18 must be seen by our nurse practitioner before receiving EC at our centers.
