Can my spouse get emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) before she needs them?
According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, the answer is yes. Your doctor should bring up ECPs at your spouse’s annual exam (when she has a pap smear or pap test). If the doctor does not talk about emergency contraception at her next exam, you and your partner should ask for it.
