I need emergency contraception, but I had sex over 3 days ago. Is there anything else I can take?

If it’s been less than 5 days, we can prescribe an option called Ella which helps to delay ovulation and may help prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. Would you like us to send a prescription for Ella to your local pharmacy?

What form of the "morning-after" pill is right for me?

Emergency contraception can be used to prevent a pregnancy after having unprotected sex. It is often referred to as the morning-after pill, though this term is misleading as you can take the medication up to 3-5 days after unprotected sex, depending on the specific treatment you take. It is not the abortion pill, which ends an existing pregnancy. Learn more about the two types of emergency contraception pills Hey Jane offers below.

What is Ella®?

Ella is a prescription form of emergency contraception that contains ulipristal acetate, a compound that mimics and blocks the hormone progestin to delay ovulation. It’s intended to be taken within 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex, and is more effective the sooner it’s taken. Ella works the best if you are less than 195 pounds.

What is levonorgestrel (the active ingredient in generic Plan B®)?

Levonorgestrel is the active ingredient found in Plan B, an over-the-counter form of emergency contraception, that stops or delays the release of an egg from the ovary. It’s most effective for people who weigh 165 pounds or less, and should be taken within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex, but is more effective the sooner it’s taken.

Popular FAQs

What are abortion pills?

Medication abortion (also called the abortion pill) is a safe and effective way to end an early pregnancy. It was approved by the FDA in 2000 and is now approved to end pregnancies up to 10 weeks. Today, 63% of abortions in the US are done with medications. The simple treatment involves taking two medicines over a couple days.

The first medicine you take is mifepristone, which blocks the pregnancy hormone (progesterone) and stops the pregnancy from growing. Then, 24-48 hours later you take a second medicine, called misoprostol. Misoprostol causes cramping and bleeding to empty the uterus. You can expect bleeding like a heavy period. Taken together, these two pills work up to 98 out of 100 times to end an early pregnancy. No sedation or general anesthesia needed, though Hey Jane providers ibuprofen or Tylenol in your shipment to help manage pain due to cramping.

After you take mifepristone (the first medication), you must complete the abortion. If treatment with medication does not work the first time, you may have the option to repeat the medicines or you will need an in-clinic procedural abortion. Hey Jane will be with you every step of the way to make sure you get the support and care you need.

Does Hey Jane accept Medicaid?

Yes, we currently accept Illinois Medicaid for medication abortion care provided to Illinois Medicaid members located within Illinois at the time of service. We are actively working on expanding our Medicaid coverage.

If patients without coverage need financial assistance in addition to our income-based sliding scale pricing, we partner with abortion funds to cover the cost of treatment, travel, and/or accommodations.

Does Hey Jane offer discounts or coupon codes?

We offer sliding-scale pricing based on income for all our services. At this time, we do not offer additional coupon codes. If you need help paying for your abortion, you can request financial assistance from one of our abortion fund partners. If eligible, they will provide a discount code that you can use at checkout.

Another way to reduce the cost of treatment is by using insurance or Illinois Medicaid, which can bring your cost as low as $0 for all of our services. See if your plan is accepted here.
