Hey Jane was amazing
Hey Jane was amazing and I would definitely use them again if needed for womens health care.
Life changing and surprisingly affordable
Life changing and surprisingly affordable. I had been told for the last 10 years there was scarification in my uterus due to other issues in my early adulthood, so I was not on birth control and remained INFERTILE for the last decade. Had partners I was intimate with for years, and not even a pregnancy scare. After a reckless (but consensual) and now regrettable time with someone, I had found myself pregnant. Hey Jane seriously changed my life from what could have happened and has been the best service I could have ever hoped for when dealing with this kind of situation. I am not in a place in my life anymore where I even WANT kids, and was completely okay with the fact that I couldn’t have anymore. Now that I know my body is not a hostile melting pot for sperm and I can very well get pregnant, I am very blessed and thankful for this service and the people behind it. Next stop is looking into the birth control services. Thank you again so much for the bottom of my heart.
Hey Jane is the best website

I loved the judge-free helpful service in the comfort of my own home
I was very nervous about getting an abortion. I was supposed to have an in person visit at Planned Parenthood until I discovered Hey Jane. I loved the judge-free helpful service in the comfort of my own home and how quick I received my medicine. They give you a pamphlet step by step how to do everything. I would definitely recommend to anyone in need of abortion!
In home care with 24/7 access to providers
This process was very easy thanks to Hey Jane. In home care with 24/7 access to providers.
Quick delivery, included all supplies

Other options aren't as quick to answer questions
There are other more affordable options, however if you can afford it i recommend Hey Jane, other options aren’t as quick to answer questions and as accessible as Hey Jane, everything is clearly detailed and extremely discreet having a healthcare provider available until late most days is worth the extra money
I felt more comfortable in the privacy of my own home
This was my first experience with Hey Jane. I was stressed and didn’t know what to do, Planned Parenthood was charging me almost $500 for abortion help and I couldn’t afford it. Thats when I found Hey Jane online, everything was super easy, and I felt more comfortable in the privacy of my own home. I would recommend them to everyone for anything.
Did not make me feel judged at all
Having this abortion saved my life, I am in my early 20’s very young and starting off in life and when I tested positive I realized right now is not the time. I deserve to be selfish and put myself first so I would never resent a child especially when they didn’t ask to be born. I recommend this place, they were great and discreet and did not make me feel judged at all.

You're getting the best care at Hey Jane
I am incredibly thankful for the services they provide. From great patient care services, to an affordable healthcare option, you can be sure you’re getting the best care at Hey Jane.
You can do it by yourself
Would have liked to know all of this sooner
Great that its convenient and easy to order. I liked that the instructions were clear. But I DIDN'T like that sometimes it was difficult to talk to someone with concerns through messaging. I also didn't like that they didn't order a blood test for my HCG levels a week or two after. I was/am 4 1/2 weeks post abortion and still have positive tests. I went to the ER to see if I had tissue, and I do! so I have to get a D&C. Luckily, for me, there isn't any infection. But, I would have liked to know all of this sooner.
Went smooth
It says it takes a day with no insurance. Well it took 2 days to be approved. Other than that it went smooth

Thoughtful and kind care via chat
Excellent experience and high recommend. Easy process to receive medication and fast, discreet delivery. Thoughtful and kind care via chat which made the process less scary and lonely. It was made very clear what to expect before, during and after so there were no surprises. Quick chat turnarounds, especially during a potential side effect (which ultimately went away on its own). It was a scary moment for me and Hey Jane made me feel comfortable, empowered and safe. I am so grateful services like this exist.
This is the real deal. It’s not a scam.
This is the real deal. It's not a scam. I tried the normal Planned Parenthood and primary route, but was not offered the privacy or disclosure of the primary insurance holder seeing the visit's/asking questions. Hey Jane offered me extremely discreet at home treatment that was easy, professional, and accessible with payment plans at a more affordable cost. Planned Parenthood would have been over $1500 for the follow up visits, treatment, and initial assessment that were completely unnecessary without guaranteed disclosure. Hey Jane offered a quick and efficient system that believes women and guaranteed discreetness that I really appreciated at only $300 with everything included as well as follow ups. cannot think the founders enough
They supply everything you need to help with pain and nausea
Being able to have access to Hey Jane from the comfort of your own home without walking into a clinic, is simply amazing in itself. It’s affordable & every question or concern was addressed.

Definitely an amazing service to have access to.

The Hey Jane support team and doctor was there to answer any questions or feedback I had for them and I loved that they checked in on me throughout it.

They follow up multiple times

The team is very responsive
Hey Jane was a great option for those seeking fast care without having to go to a clinic and having To schedule out appointments further for what needs to get done. The team is very responsive, caring and seem to take this process just as important as you will.
The pill came within 2 days
I was extremely nervous and scared because I did not know what to expect. Luckily my pregnancy was not too far along and that I was able to have a medication abortion and not a surgical abortion. The pill came within 2 days with tons of information on how to use. I did have uncomfortable cramping similar to when you are ovulating which did wake me out of my sleep. It only lasted for about 3 days as the days went on the pain minimized and the bleeding was constant. I am still bleeding but there isn't any pain.
The privacy was worth it
The staff are very attentive, and you can contact online funding to help pay for your care. The process took me a couple of weeks, but the privacy was worth it.

What you need to know about California abortion laws
Abortion in California is legal until viability (24-26 weeks of pregnancy) as determined by a health care provider. After that, you can have an abortion if your life or health are at risk, or the fetus will not survive.
In 1967, California became the first state to legalize abortion, and since then, the state has continued to uphold the right to access safe and legal abortion services. Most recently, California approved Prop 1 in November 2022, which explicitly added abortion and contraception rights to the state constitution.
California abortion laws are constantly evolving. Stay up to date on the latest.
How late can you get an abortion in California?
You can be prescribed abortion medication, a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol, up to 10 weeks after the first day of your last menstrual period. Estimate how far along your pregnancy is with our online calculator.
If your pregnancy is further along than that, you can get an elective in-clinic procedural abortion before fetal viability (typically about 24-26 weeks) as determined by a health care provider. Beyond that, abortion is only legal in California if the pregnant person’s life or health is at risk or if the fetus will not survive.
Who can get an abortion in California?
Anyone with a uterus can get an abortion in California until the pregnancy is viable (usually 24-26 weeks into a pregnancy).
It’s also legal for non-California residents to get an abortion in California within this timeframe. If you live in a state where you’re unable to get an abortion, you can travel to California to get the care that you need. And, as a California resident, it’s legal for you to get an abortion in other states that permit abortion.
College students, minors, and undocumented immigrants all have the right to get an abortion in California through these timeframes as well. Parental involvement is not required and if you're younger than 18, you can consent to an abortion without notifying a parent.
The abortion pill explained
The abortion pill is actually two medications taken separately—mifepristone and misoprostol. The first medication, mifepristone, blocks the pregnancy hormone (progesterone), which stops a pregnancy from growing. The second medication, misoprostol, causes cramping and bleeding to empty the uterus or womb.
For some, this treatment can feel like a heavy period, but for others, it can feel much more intense. Everyone's experience is different.
While the majority of abortions performed in the US are medication abortions, about 73% of adults don’t know about this option, and baseless lawsuits only serve to further confuse people.
Medication abortions are safe and highly effective
Medication abortion is very safe. Complications from this treatment are very uncommon— they occur in less than 1% of patients. When used correctly, the medications work up to 99.6% of the time. Read our guide on what to expect after taking abortion pills for more information.
Getting a medication abortion does not lower your chances of getting or staying pregnant in the future; it does not cause infertility or cause birth defects in a future pregnancy. In fact, you can get pregnant almost immediately after having an abortion.
That’s not all:
- The abortion pill is safer than Tylenol (acetaminophen)
- The abortion pill is safer than Viagra (sildenafil)
- Despite myths that say otherwise, having an abortion does not increase your risk for breast cancer and does not cause depression.
