Yes — in most places you can get emergency contraception (EC) delivered same day. How depends on which EC you need:
-
Levonorgestrel pills (OTC): brands like Plan B One‑Step, Take Action, Next Choice, AfterPill — available over the counter and the fastest option. Same‑day delivery is commonly offered by big pharmacy chains (CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid) via their apps or by delivery platforms (Instacart, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Amazon in some areas). Search the app, confirm “same‑day” or “express” delivery, or order for curbside pickup.
-
Ulipristal acetate (ella): more effective up to 120 hours after sex and preferred if 72–120 hours or if higher body weight. ella requires a prescription. Telehealth services such as Planned Parenthood Direct, Nurx, Teladoc, or your local urgent care can often evaluate you and e‑prescribe the pill same day; the prescription can then be filled at a nearby pharmacy and delivered using the same services above.
-
Copper IUD: the most effective EC option (works up to 5 days) but requires an in‑person insertion. Call Planned Parenthood or local clinics to see if they have same‑day or next‑day appointments.
Quick practical steps
- Act now — EC works best the sooner you take it.
- If it’s within 72 hours and you want fastest access, order an OTC levonorgestrel pill via CVS/Walgreens/Walmart/Instacart/DoorDash.
- If it’s 72–120 hours or you prefer the more effective option, request a telehealth visit for a prescription for ella and have a pharmacy deliver it.
- If you want the copper IUD, call Planned Parenthood or local clinics about same‑day insertion.
Costs/notes
- OTC levonorgestrel usually costs $15–50; some insurance plans cover EC.
- Ella may be covered if prescribed; copays vary.
- Levonorgestrel can be less effective in people with higher BMI — discuss this if it applies.
