Our licensed physicians can prescribe a range of hormonal contraceptives, including combined estrogen-progestin pills, the transdermal patch, the vaginal ring, progestin-only pills, and injectable methods. Long-acting options such as IUDs and implants require an in-person procedure and cannot be placed via telehealth, but your provider can discuss whether they may be right for you.

Combined hormonal contraceptives, those containing both estrogen and progestin, work through three complementary mechanisms: suppressing ovulation so no egg is released, thickening cervical mucus to block sperm, and thinning the uterine lining to reduce the chance of implantation.

Yes. Progestin-only methods such as the injectable medroxyprogesterone (Depo-Provera) and progestin-only pills are available for people who have contraindications to estrogen, such as a history of blood clots, migraines with aura, or certain cardiovascular conditions. Your provider will review your history before recommending a method.

Your provider will ask about your personal and family medical history, current medications, smoking status, blood pressure, and any prior experience with contraceptives. This information helps identify the safest and most effective option for you and screens for contraindications such as hypertension, clotting disorders, or liver disease.

Combined oral contraceptives are also commonly used to manage menstrual-related conditions such as dysmenorrhea (painful periods), endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and acne. If you have one of these concerns in addition to seeking contraception, let your provider know during your visit.

Effectiveness timing varies by method. Combined pills, the patch, and the ring are generally effective within 7 days if started mid-cycle, or immediately if started on the first day of a period. The progestin-only injection may take up to 7 days unless given within the first 5 days of a menstrual cycle. Your provider will give you specific guidance based on your chosen method.
