Short answer: Several U.S. telehealth services commonly prescribe progestin‑only pills (the “mini‑pill”). Availability depends on your state and medical history, but these services are good places to start:
- Nurx — Widely used for birth control, easy online questionnaire, clinician review, and home delivery. They explicitly list progestin‑only options and handle refills.
- Hers (Hims & Hers) — Women’s care branch with online intake and discreet shipping; they offer progestin‑only prescriptions and follow‑up care.
- Lemonaid Health — Low, transparent pricing and same‑day prescribing in many states; they often prescribe norethindrone‑type mini‑pills.
- Planned Parenthood Direct (app/telehealth) — Clinical expertise, sliding‑scale options in some areas, and a reliable source for progestin‑only pills.
- GoodRx Care — Affordable telehealth option that frequently prescribes mini‑pills and can help you find low‑cost pharmacies.
- Ro / Rory — Women’s health service from Ro; offers birth control prescribing and shipping, including progestin‑only choices in many states.
- Maven Clinic / The Pill Club (Maven’s pharmacy services) — Women’s‑health focused platform with clinicians who can prescribe mini‑pills and manage follow‑up.
Notes and next steps:
- Common U.S. progestin‑only brands include Camila, Errin, Nora‑BE, Jolivette and the newer Slynd (drospirenone). Exact brand availability varies by service and pharmacy.
- Which service will actually prescribe depends on your state laws and your medical history (e.g., certain meds, heart disease, migraines). Many services will ask an intake questionnaire and may require a short video/phone visit.
- Progestin‑only pills must be taken at the same time each day for best effectiveness — ask the clinician about timing and interactions.
If you’d like, tell me your state (or whether you prefer low cost, fastest shipping, or clinic expertise) and I can check which of these services currently covers progestin‑only pills in your area.
