Emergency contraception guide

Emergency contraception online in Virginia and West Virginia

This guide is for time-sensitive emergency contraception requests, not for pregnancy complications, assault-related care, or severe symptoms that need in-person support.

Start online

Emergency contraception can be a good online fit when the request is time-sensitive and the history does not suggest a need for urgent in-person care.

If treatment is appropriate, your physician can send a non-controlled prescription to your pharmacy and provide portal instructions for the next step.

If your concern still fits this service, a physician reviews it and sends you a secure update after you sign in.

Why is the timing question so important?

How well emergency contraception works depends heavily on when the exposure happened (the unprotected sex or birth control failure), so timing is central to whether an online request makes sense.

When should this not be handled online?

Severe pain, heavy bleeding, an emergency related to an assault, or symptoms that could point to an ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy growing outside the uterus) need urgent in-person care.
