The pill
Take by mouth daily
A small, daily pill that may have a combination of estrogen and progesterone (two hormones) or just progesterone.
The patch
Apply weekly
The patch is a thin, two inch plastic square that sticks to your skin and releases hormones to prevent you from getting pregnant.
The ring
Insert monthly/yearly
The ring is a small, bendable plastic ring that you insert into your vagina. It's a lot like putting in a tampon.
The shot
Get every 3 months
A shot you can give yourself under the skin that keeps you from getting pregnant.

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.
