Get emergency contraception for future use
Looking to stay prepared and keep emergency contraception on hand? Our team of providers has you covered. From Ella® (a prescription morning-after pill) to levonorgestrel (generic Plan B® available over-the-counter), they can help you choose the method that is best for you.
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 Ella®?
Ella is a prescription form of emergency contraception that contains ulipristal acetate, a compound that mimics and blocks the hormone progestin to delay ovulation. It’s intended to be taken within 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex, and is more effective the sooner it’s taken. Ella works the best if you are less than 195 pounds.
What is levonorgestrel (generic Plan B®)?
Levonorgestrel is the active ingredient found in Plan B, an over-the-counter form of emergency contraception, that stops or delays the release of an egg from the ovary. It’s most effective for people who weigh 165 pounds or less, and should be taken within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex, but is more effective the sooner it’s taken.

Hey Jane makes it easy to keep emergency contraception on hand, for whenever you need it
Hey Jane offers advance provision of emergency contraception pills (AKA the ability to get medication for future use). Similar to that bottle of cold medicine you may have in your medicine cabinet, our providers suggest keeping Plan B or Ella at home for emergencies, if you can.

Looking for preventative birth control?
Hey Jane also offers paid consultations for birth control prescriptions including pills, the patch, the ring, and the shot. Our team of providers partners with you to find the best birth control option for your body, preferences, and lifestyle.
Looking for medication abortion?
Emergency contraception like Ella and Plan B are not the same as medication abortion. Emergency contraception must be taken within a certain number of days after unprotected sex to prevent a pregnancy, while medication abortion can be used to end confirmed pregnancies up to 10 weeks. Hey Jane is the most-trusted virtual clinic offering safe and private abortion care from home. Get FDA-approved abortion pills discreetly delivered fast, plus ongoing medical and emotional support.
