We make it affordable to get same-day birth control prescriptions

We provide affordable access to same-day birth control prescriptions through convenient telehealth appointments with our qualified primary care doctors. Our board-certified doctors address a wide range of women's sexual health issues, including UTIs, yeast infections, STIs, and reproductive health concerns like PCOS and endometriosis. Whether you have insurance or not, our services offer cost-effective solutions for obtaining birth control.

 

Affordable or free birth control pills can be accessed through health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act, which covers most types of birth control at no cost. For those without insurance, options like Medicaid, government programs, and over-the-counter hormonal pills like Opill are available. Additionally, free or low-cost birth control and condoms can be obtained from in-person clinics, health departments, and community programs. We ensure convenience by sending prescriptions to your chosen pharmacy or directly to you after a brief online consultation.

Types of birth control methods available online

There are many different types of prescription birth control that are available to women online. Here’s a quick overview of some of the most used methods of birth control. 

 

Note: With Quick Care Review, we are exclusively offering combined oral contraceptives, ring, patch, and progesterone-only pills. If you’d like to receive a different contraceptive, you will need to request a video visit.

 

Oral contraceptives (birth control pills)

Birth control pills like Kariva and Yasmin are called combination pills, because they contain a combination of estrogen and progestin. Pills that include progestin only include brands like Heather, Errin, and Slynd. These are sometimes referred to as “mini pills” because they only contain progestin, not because they are any smaller.

Birth control patch

The transdermal contraceptive patch, such as Xulane, releases hormones through the skin to prevent pregnancy. Like most oral contraceptives1, the patch contains both estrogen and progestin to stop ovulation.

Vaginal ring

The vaginal ring, such as Nuvaring or Annovera is a small, soft, flexible plastic ring placed inside the vagina. It releases estrogen and progestin into the bloodstream to prevent pregnancy.

Emergency contraception

Emergency contraception, like Ella and Plan B2,  are oral medications that can be taken shortly after unprotected sex to reduce the chances of pregnancy.

Non-hormonal birth control option

While hormonal birth control is safer than ever, if you’re concerned about potential side effects or drug interactions, the copper IUD is a great option for an effective and convenient non-hormonal birth control. Condoms, diaphragms, spermicides, the cervical cap, and the sponge are other non-hormonal options. One newer non-hormonal birth control method is called Phexxi, which is available as a prescription vaginal gel.

How long does it take for birth control to work? 

If you need your birth control to take effect right away, that’s an important concern to discuss with your doctor. Different methods vary in terms of timing.  

 

Barrier methods like condoms work immediately, whereas a vasectomy may take three months or more. Timing for pill types depends on whether it's a combination or progestin-only pill and your menstrual cycle phase. You can start both pill types anytime, but backup methods like condoms may be needed for the first seven days. 

 

For combination pills (COCs): If you begin within five days of your period onset, you're immediately protected from pregnancy without requiring a backup birth control method. For instance, if your period begins on a Wednesday morning, you can start the pill up to the subsequent Monday morning for immediate protection. If you start at any other point in your menstrual cycle, pregnancy protection begins after seven days of pill usage. In the first seven days of pill use, consider using an additional birth control method, such as a condom, for penis-in-vagina intercourse. 

 

For progestin-only pills (POPs or mini-pills): Pregnancy protection starts after two days of consistent pill use, regardless of when you begin. During the initial 48 hours on the pill, be sure to use an additional form of birth control, such as a condom, if engaging in vaginal sex. It is crucial to take progestin-only pills at the same time daily. If you exceed the usual time by more than 3 hours, employ a backup birth control method for the next 48 hours. 

 

Slynd: A newer progestin-only pill variant operates slightly differently. Immediate pregnancy protection is provided when starting Slynd within the initial five days of your period. If you’re beginning Slynd at any other point in your cycle, use an alternative birth control method (e.g., condoms) for the first seven days of penis-in-vagina sex. Unlike other progestin-only pills, Slynd does not require strict adherence to the same 3-hour window daily. 

What are the side effects of stopping birth control?

Do not stop birth control without an alternative contraceptive plan unless you want to become pregnant.

 

Depending on which birth control method you’re using, side effects will vary. 

 

Some common side effects after stopping hormonal birth control include irregular cycles, cramping, acne, and weight changes. It’s easier to stop pills and rings than implants. 

Enhanced fertility

Although this seems obvious, many women are surprised at how quickly ovulation can resume its normal cycle. A study of women who stopped birth control3 found that over 80% of participants conceived within the first year after ending contraception. 

 

Some women in this group became pregnant just weeks after stopping oral contraceptives. Keep in mind that you may conceive before even getting a period, since ovulation occurs 2 weeks before menses. 

 

Typically, regular ovulation resumes within a few weeks of discontinuing most hormonal birth control methods. If you are not yet ready for pregnancy, have an alternative contraceptive plan in place. 

Breast tenderness

If you already experience breast tenderness with PMS, you might notice it get worse after stopping contraception. You might also notice changes in the fullness of your breasts.  

Acne

Some women begin using birth control early on to manage hormonal acne. When you stop birth control, you might notice changes to your skin. Talk to your doctor about alternative acne treatments if this is a concern for you.  

Mood swings

Mood swings can increase–especially in women with a history of depression. Hormonal imbalances may lead to depression or worsen anxiety symptoms, both on and off contraception.
