The condom broke/ fell off/ wasn’t used right during sex. What are my options?
There are a couple of emergency contraceptive methods available, but we typically prescribe Plan B® as it is one of the most convenient forms with minimal side effects. We usually advise anybody who regularly uses condoms as “Plan A” birth control to have a prescription for Plan B® contraceptive pills on hand as it is most effective when taken within 72 hours (although more recent studies have shown efficacy up to 120 hours) after unprotected intercourse.
