An unintended pregnancy is a pregnancy that is unplanned at the time of conception. Since the pregnancy is mistimed, it is associated with increased health risks to both mother and baby. At Preferred Gynecology, we understand the importance of proper family planning, and finding a method that is compatible with the patient's lifestyle. According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control), the rate of unintended pregnancies in the United States is approaching 50%, mainly as the result of incorrect or inconsistent use of contraceptive methods.
