Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about getting birth control online in Canada.

We provide 1-year prescriptions for all birth control methods. This means fewer renewals and no more running out of medication. Walk-in clinics typically only provide 1-3 month prescriptions.

In some cases, yes. Free options exist both for the consultation (family physicians, walk-in clinics, and pharmacist walk-in in BC and AB) and for the medication (provincial drug plans vary). See coverage details by province for the breakdown. Our $49 consultation fee is for those who want speed, convenience, and a 1-year prescription instead.

Yes! We provide prescriptions for hormonal IUDs, copper IUDs, and the contraceptive implant. Since these require insertion by a healthcare provider, we also provide a referral to a local clinic for the procedure. Many pharmacies stock IUDs, so you can pick up the device and bring it to your insertion appointment.

Absolutely. If you're currently on one method and want to try something different - whether it's switching from pills to the patch, or from the ring to an IUD - our clinicians can help you make the transition safely.

We send the eRx directly to your pharmacy of choice. Pick it up the same day in most cases.

90% of patients are approved within 90 minutes. Once approved, your prescription is sent to your chosen pharmacy immediately.

No video or phone call is required for most birth control prescriptions. You complete a detailed health questionnaire, and a licensed clinician reviews your information and approves your prescription. If the clinician has questions, they'll reach out through our secure real-time messaging chat - you can respond at your convenience.

Yes! Many people choose to skip or reduce their periods using hormonal birth control. There are two main approaches:

Extended-cycle pills: These are specifically designed to give you only 4 periods per year. You take active pills continuously for 84 days, followed by 7 days of placebo pills when you have your period.

Continuous use of regular pills: With most combined pills, you can safely skip the placebo week and start a new pack right away. This means you skip your period entirely that month.

What to expect:

  • Breakthrough bleeding/spotting is common in the first 3-6 months - this is normal and usually improves over time
  • Some people experience bloating, breast tenderness, or mood changes
  • It's medically safe to skip periods - the "period" on birth control isn't a real menstrual period anyway, it's withdrawal bleeding

Our clinicians can help you decide if period skipping is right for you and recommend the best approach based on your needs.

No. We don't bill provincial healthcare for arranging your prescription, so there's no record sent to your family doctor or anyone else. Your family doctor won't know that you've used our service, what birth control you're taking, or even if you're using birth control at all. Your visit with us is completely confidential and doesn't affect your relationship with your family doctor in any way. You can choose to share this information with them if you wish, but that's entirely up to you.
