Licensed providers available on Klarity can help determine which birth control method is appropriate based on your health, lifestyle, and reproductive goals. Whether you’re considering daily pills, monthly rings, or emergency contraception, expert guidance supports informed, personalized care.
The birth control pill is a daily oral contraceptive containing hormones that prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus to block sperm.
The birth control ring is a small, flexible device inserted into the vagina, releasing estrogen and progestin to prevent ovulation.
The birth control patch is a skin-applied contraceptive that releases hormones to prevent pregnancy.
The birth control shot, such as Depo-Provera, is an injection of progestin administered every three months.
The morning-after pill is an emergency contraceptive taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation.

Reviews from real patients who received treatment from healthcare providers on Klarity Health.
Whether you want birth control to prevent pregnancy or treat an ongoing problem, you may not want to wait weeks or months for an in-person appointment. Luckily, you don’t have to. When you find a provider on Klarity, you can get online care in just 24 hours.
Please prepare for your appointment by writing down the day your most recent period began. You may also note any prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, and supplements you take.
During your appointment, your provider will review your medical history. It’s essential to be completely honest with your provider. They are there to make sure you get the best possible care, not to judge you.
You can also ask any questions you may have about getting birth control online. If you and your provider determine that prescription birth control is right for you, the provider will send that information to your pharmacy.
Please note that emergency contraceptives may not be available in all states. Courts are currently sorting out whether these pills are included in abortion bans. Emergency contraceptives do not work by stopping a pregnancy. They work by preventing ovulation and pregnancy. Your provider can help you understand what access you have in your state.
The FDA has approved many different types of birth control. Each medication has its own dosage. The most important thing is that you take your online birth control prescription precisely as it is prescribed on the label.
Both mini pills and combination birth control pills are small pills that you should ingest at the same time every day. Often, these pills come in packs with labels that allow you to track whether you’ve taken your medicine that day easily.
Sometimes, you will take a pill with active ingredients every day for three weeks. Then, you’ll take a placebo pill for one week.
Some birth control pills allow you to take the pills with active ingredients every day. This schedule may allow you to skip or reduce your period.
With the vaginal ring for your birth control, you’ll insert the flexible ring into your vagina and leave it there for three weeks. Then, remove the ring for one week. The birth control patch follows the same schedule as the ring.
You should use a backup method of birth control if you:
• Miss your pill one day
• Take your pill three or more hours later than normal
• Started birth control within the past seven days
• Have any digestive issues, such as vomiting, that may cause you not to absorb your medication
• Take a medication that may interfere with birth control, such as antibiotics
• Notice the ring has fallen out before it should
• Find that your patch has fallen off before it’s time
Getting a birth control prescription online may not be right for everyone. Like with all medicine, there are some risks.
Some mild side effects are common with hormonal birth control. These typically decrease over time and go away after a few months.
Common side effects may include:
• Nausea
• Tender or swollen breasts
• Light spotting between periods
• Irritability
• Mood swings
• Headache
• Weight gain or bloating
A tiny percentage of patients who take hormonal birth control experience severe side effects. These can include blood clots, high blood pressure, or heart attack. If you are at a high risk for these problems, your provider may recommend a different way to prevent pregnancy.
While an online birth control prescription is an effective way to prevent pregnancy, these medications do not prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Talk to your provider about your STI risks and prevention options.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires most insurance plans to cover any type of birth control that a provider prescribes to a woman. Furthermore, the plans must cover these medications without charging a copay or deductible.
If you have insurance, your online birth control prescription is likely free. The exceptions to the rule include plans from religious employers who do not wish to cover these medications.
If you do not have insurance, you can still find affordable birth control options. Many pills have been around long enough to have generic alternatives, making them more affordable. Some birth control pills cost as little as $20 per month.
If you’re concerned about cost, talk to your provider about it. They can recommend low-cost, generic birth control that meets your needs.
Birth control medications that you can get online are not your only option for preventing pregnancy. You may choose another temporary option that prevents sperm from meeting your eggs, such as:
• An interuterine device (IUD)
• An arm implant that releases hormones
• Birth control injections
These all work similarly to birth control online options. However, they require in-person appointments with a provider. You may also choose a permanent form of birth control, such as a tubal ligation. This is a surgery and carries risks that all surgeries do.
Non-hormonal birth control methods include:
• Condoms
• Spermicide
• Rhythm method
These methods are less effective than prescription birth control at preventing pregnancy. They also do not have the benefits and side effects of hormonal birth control. You may want to use one of these methods as a backup or additional layer of safety when preventing pregnancy.

If you’re having a mental health crisis or experiencing a psychiatric emergency, it’s crucial to seek immediate help from a mental healthcare professional, such as a psychiatrist, psychologist, or therapist.
