What form of the "morning-after" pill is right for me?

Emergency contraception can be used to prevent a pregnancy after having unprotected sex. It is often referred to as the morning-after pill, though this term is misleading as you can take the medication up to 3-5 days after unprotected sex, depending on the specific treatment you take. It is not the abortion pill, which ends an existing pregnancy. Learn more about the two types of emergency contraception pills Hey Jane offers below.

What is the best method of birth control?

That depends on you! Your schedule, your preferences, your life! If you need more information on the different methods, just ask our clinical care team.

Do you need a pelvic exam to get a birth control prescription

A pelvic exam is not needed for most forms of birth control.

Does birth control also protect you from STDs/STIs?

Right now, the only method that prevents both pregnancy and infections are condoms.

How much does Hey Jane's infection consultation cost?

We accept select insurance plans and offer cash-pay patients an income-based sliding scale pricing for our vaginal infection consultations. You may also be able to pay for your consultation with your HSA or FSA if you’d like.

Your payment covers your provider’s time and unlimited messaging with the Hey Jane team for the duration of your treatment. We will send your prescription to your local pharmacy of choice for fast, easy pickup. In some cases, we can send your medication directly to you.

You will pay the pharmacy directly for the cost of medication. Costs can vary depending on what specific treatment is prescribed and whether or not you use insurance. In many cases, medication can be as low as $0 with insurance. If you don’t have insurance or are worried about costs, let your provider know so that they can advise on affordable options.

How do birth control refills with Hey Jane work?

Hey Jane’s birth control prescriptions typically include 12 months of refills. As you get close to the end of your refills, we will send you a message on the patient portal to ask if you would like to renew! You can always check in with us before then if you are having any issues or have any questions

Does Hey Jane ship my birth control directly to me?

Hey Jane only offers delivery for select birth control pills for self-pay patients. Instead, your provider will send your prescription to your preferred local pharmacy for pickup.

Some pharmacies have their own delivery services, so we recommend giving yours a call if you’re curious!

Does Hey Jane offer non-hormonal forms of birth control?

Yes! We can send prescriptions for non-hormonal methods of contraceptives, specifically vaginal diaphragms, topical gels, and condoms. Just start our intake form below to consult with one of our providers virtually.

If you’re interested in options like period tracking, we recommend services like Euki or Embody that have a strong focus on patient data privacy.

What if I start a method of birth control, but it isn't a good fit?

Some providers will recommend sticking with a method for 3 months because a lot of side effects will go away after that (and that can be a good idea), but we want you to be happy with your method from the beginning! If you are having any side effects that bother you please let us know so we can recommend a different option.
