Do you live in the United States or another country? Telehealth availability and what pills can be prescribed vary by state/country, so I can give more exact options if you tell me where you are.
If you’re in the U.S., these well-known telehealth services commonly prescribe progestin‑only pills (the “mini‑pill”) and ship them to patients:
- Nurx — Widely available, easy online intake, ships to many states; commonly prescribes norethindrone (a common mini‑pill).
- Lemonaid Health — Fast online visit and same‑day shipping in many states; known for straightforward pricing.
- Planned Parenthood Direct (app/telehealth) — Trusted reproductive‑health provider with contraception prescribing and counseling; good if you want clinic continuity.
- GoodRx Care / HeyDoctor — Low upfront cost in many states and convenient telehealth visits for birth control.
- Ro / Rory (Ro Women’s Health) — Nationwide telehealth service with pharmacy/shipping options and follow‑up support.
- Maven Clinic — Specializes in women’s health and can prescribe contraception as part of broader care or follow‑ups.
A few important notes:
- Services differ by state, require a medical history questionnaire, and may ask for recent blood pressure info (though progestin‑only pills are often options when estrogen is contraindicated).
- If you have specific medical issues, are breastfeeding, or need a certain progestin (e.g., norethindrone vs desogestrel), mention that during the consult or ask the service before you order.
- Cost and insurance coverage vary — check whether the service bills insurance or is cash price.
Tell me your state or country (and any relevant medical constraints like breastfeeding or clotting risk), and I’ll point you to the best online options for your situation.
