Please call or come in to make an appointment. The visit is confidential. If you have insurance, please bring proof of insurance with you.
At your first visit the doctor or nurse talks to you about birth control. Sometimes you have a pelvic exam.
There are many birth control methods that you can get at The Corner. Many young women want to have an IUD because it prevents pregnancy for five years. Others choose Depo-Provera, another long-acting contraceptive. They come to The Corner for a depo shot every three months. Some choose the pill, patch or vaginal ring. Couples also use condoms. Condoms help prevent STI's as well as pregnancy.
If you had unprotected sex, call us as soon as possible. We try to see you the same day. You will probably be given emergency contraceptive pills – ECP (also known as the "morning after pill"). During your visit the clinician talks with you about other types of birth control.
