    Combined hormonal contraceptive patch

    The contraceptive patch is a thin, plastic sticker you apply to your skin once a week for three weeks. It releases hormones that prevent pregnancy by stopping your ovaries from releasing eggs. You remove it for the fourth week to have a period. It is an easy, highly effective birth control method.

  • Combined oral contraceptives (COCs)
    Prescription Requires a valid doctor’s prescription. We can help arrange one if needed.

    Combined oral contraceptives (COCs)

    The combined oral contraceptive pill, often called "the birth control pill", is a daily pill containing two synthetic hormones: estrogen and progestin. It prevents pregnancy by stopping the ovaries from releasing an egg (ovulation), thickening the cervical mucus to block sperm, and thinning the uterine lining.

  • Morning-after pill / Emergency contraceptive
    Prescription Requires a valid doctor’s prescription. We can help arrange one if needed.

    Morning-after pill / Emergency contraceptive

    The morning-after pill is a safe, backup emergency contraceptive that prevents pregnancy after unprotected sex. It works by temporarily delaying ovulation (egg release) and does not end an existing pregnancy. Take it as soon as possible as different pills work best within 72 - 120 hours hours, depending on the brand.

  • Progestin-only pills (POPs)
    Prescription Requires a valid doctor’s prescription. We can help arrange one if needed.

    Progestin-only pills (POPs)

    The progestin-only pill (or "mini-pill") is a daily birth control pill that contains only one hormone and no estrogen. It prevents pregnancy by thickening your cervical mucus to block sperm and thinning your uterus lining. To be most effective, it must be taken at the exact same time every day.
