Verbatim response from ChatGPT
Short answer: several mainstream telehealth/birth-control services commonly prescribe progestin‑only pills (the “mini‑pill”), including Nurx, Planned Parenthood Direct, Hers, Lemonaid Health, GoodRx Care, PlushCare, and Maven Clinic. Which is best for you depends on your state, insurance, budget, and any medical issues.
Quick notes on each
- Nurx — well known for birth control delivery and flexible shipping; offers progestin‑only options and Slynd in many states.
- Planned Parenthood Direct (app/telehealth) — clinicians from Planned Parenthood; good if you want a sliding‑scale or community‑based option.
- Hers — women’s telehealth that prescribes several birth‑control options (including mini‑pills/Slynd) and ships monthly.
- Lemonaid Health — fast online visit and same‑day shipping in many states; offers norethindrone/Slynd depending on location.
- GoodRx Care — low‑cost telehealth visits and often inexpensive pricing for the prescription when using GoodRx coupons.
- PlushCare — primary‑care telemedicine that can evaluate and prescribe birth control, useful if you want continuity of care.
- Maven Clinic — specialty women’s and reproductive health telemedicine (good if you want more in-depth counseling or follow‑up).
Important things to check
- State availability: not every service prescribes in every state.
- Insurance and cost: some services accept insurance; others are cash pay. Price and shipping vary.
- Medical suitability: progestin‑only pills are appropriate for many people (breastfeeding, some medical contraindications to estrogen), but you should disclose medications (esp. enzyme‑inducers like certain seizure meds or rifampin), breastfeeding, and health conditions. POPs must be taken at the same time every day; Slynd (drospirenone‑only) has a slightly larger dosing window.
- Follow‑up: ask about how they handle refills and side‑effect questions.
If you want, tell me what state you live in and whether you have insurance; I can check which of these services are available to you and compare out‑of‑pocket cost and delivery options.
