Q: My prescription refills have run out, can Planned Parenthood renew them for me without me having to come in?
A: This is possible in some instances. Please call your Health Center for specific information.
Q: I need to start my pills tomorrow, can you overnight pills to me?
A: We do not use any overnight shipping methods, and we cannot guarantee you will receive your pills in 24 hours via US Mail. Therefore, you may want to visit one of our Health Centers instead.
Q: How much do I pay for pills if I usually pay nothing or a discounted fee?
A: We will charge you what you are generally charged for birth control pills plus a $4.00 shipping and handling fee.
Q: Can I order NuvaRing online?
A: No. Organon products, including the NuvaRing, Desogen and Cyclessa, are no longer available for purchase online, so please visit one of our Health Centers to purchase refills of those products.
Q: Can I order Emergency Contraception (EC, Plan B, the morning-after pill) online?
A: Emergency Contraception is now available over-the-counter to those 18 and over, if you visit one of our Health Centers in-person and show a photo ID. It is also available by prescription, with no age restriction. If you have a current prescription on file with us for EC, you may order this product online. Due to shipping restrictions, we cannot guarantee receipt for emergency use. It is only appropriate to purchase EC through this website to keep on hand in case of
unprotected sex and it is only effective if taken within 5 days, however it is most effective if taken within the first 24 hours. You should not take EC if there is a chance you are already pregnant.
