  • Yes, we provide two types of emergency contraception at our clinics, Plan B One-Step® and Ella®.

    • Plan B One-Step® contains the hormone levonorgestrel. Plan B One-Step® contains a higher dose of levonorgestrel than regular birth control pills, but works in a similar way to prevent pregnancy, mainly by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary.
    • Plan B One-Step® may also work by preventing fertilization of an egg or by preventing attachment (implantation) to the uterus (womb). You should use Plan B One-Step® within 72 hours (3 days) after you have had unprotected sex or experienced birth control failure.
    • Plan B One-Step® is available without a prescription.

    ella® works by decreasing progesterone in the body which can stop or delay ovulation and may also change the lining of the uterus preventing the egg from implanting after ovulation.
    ella® should be taken up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex or birth control failure. ella® is only available by prescription.

    The sooner you take any emergency contraception, the better it works. Emergency contraception is a backup method of birth control you can use when:

    • Your regular birth control was used incorrectly or failed
    • You did not use any birth control method
