Which online birth control services prescribe for teens or under 18?

I can help — but the answer depends a lot on where you live and your exact age. Laws and company policies about prescribing to minors vary by country and U.S. state, and many direct-to-consumer telehealth companies require patients to be 18+.

Quick overview and places to try

• Planned Parenthood (national/local health centers and the Planned Parenthood Direct telehealth app) — Often a first choice for teens. In many places Planned Parenthood provides confidential contraceptive services to minors without parental consent; they also offer telehealth in many areas and sliding‑scale fees. Check your local Planned Parenthood health center or the Planned Parenthood Direct app.
• Title X / community health centers / Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) — These clinics provide family‑planning services and are usually required to provide confidential care to adolescents for contraception. They’re low‑cost or free for those who qualify.
• School-based health centers or county public health clinics — Many school health centers and local health departments provide teen-friendly contraceptive services in person and can point you to telehealth options.
• Over‑the‑counter emergency contraception (U.S.) — Levonorgestrel emergency contraception (Plan B and generics) is available OTC without age restriction. Ulipristal acetate (ella) requires a prescription.

What many direct-to-consumer companies require

• Major online birth-control providers (Nurx, Lemonaid, Hers/Hims, GoodRx Telehealth/HeyDoctor, etc.) commonly require patients to be 18+. If you’re under 18, these companies will often not accept you even if minors can consent under state law.

What to do next

1. Tell me your country or U.S. state (and whether you are comfortable sharing your age/that you’re under 18). I can check which local telehealth or clinic options are likely to prescribe to minors where you are.
2. If you want immediate options in the U.S.: contact your local Planned Parenthood or Title X clinic (search “Planned Parenthood near me” or “family planning clinic [your city]”), or call your school nurse/health center for teen-friendly referrals.
3. If you need emergency contraception now and you’re in the U.S.: levonorgestrel pills (Plan B/generics) are available over the counter at pharmacies without age limits.

If you tell me your state or country, I’ll look up teen‑friendly telehealth and clinic options near you and note any age/consent rules that apply.
