That is exactly why we changed ours.

What does the $20 Ella visit include?
Ella is a prescription emergency contraceptive containing ulipristal acetate. It is used to help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure, such as a broken condom or missed birth control pills.
Timing matters. Ella can be taken within 120 hours, or five days, after unprotected sex, but emergency contraception is something to address as soon as possible. If you are wondering whether you are still within the window, read How Late Can I Take Ella?.
The $20 is the price of the clinical visit, not the medication.
A licensed clinician reviews your health information and determines whether Ella is medically appropriate for your situation. If it is appropriate and you choose to move forward, your prescription can be sent to your preferred local pharmacy.
Medication availability and cost vary by pharmacy, so the pharmacy’s price for Ella is separate. You may be able to use insurance or a prescription discount for the medication when available.

Why do we let you answer the health questions before you pay?
Because we think that is how healthcare should work.
Too much online healthcare starts with the transaction. Choose a product. Enter a card. Pay a fee. Then find out what happens.
We flipped that around.
With MyBodyMyRx, you start with healthcare.
We need accurate information about when unprotected sex occurred, your menstrual cycle, medications, birth control and relevant medical history. Those answers help determine whether Ella may be an appropriate option for you.
There is no commitment to pay simply because you completed the medical questions.
If care may be appropriate, you can see the price and decide whether you want to move forward.
If it is not appropriate, you have not paid us just to discover that.
That’s Healthcare first. Checkout second.
And if you want to talk through your situation with a clinician instead, you can request a Talk It Out Visit.
Why a local pharmacy matters when you need Ella
Emergency contraception is time-sensitive. When you need it today, “ships in a few days” may not be particularly helpful.
If Ella is medically appropriate, MyBodyMyRx can send the prescription to a local pharmacy you choose.
Your pharmacy. Your choice.
You are not required to buy medication from us. You are not locked into a company-owned pharmacy. You are not required to purchase a medication bundle or wait for a package to arrive.
Before paying for your visit, you can even call your preferred pharmacy and ask whether Ella is currently in stock. Pharmacy inventory changes, and not every location carries Ella at all times.
If getting the medication quickly is your biggest concern, read Where Can I Get Ella Today? or Where Can I Get Ella Near Me?.
Ella vs. Plan B: they are not the same medication
Ella and Plan B are both emergency contraceptives, but they are not interchangeable.
Plan B and its generic equivalents contain levonorgestrel. Ella contains ulipristal acetate and requires a prescription in the United States.
Which option makes sense can depend on factors including how long it has been since unprotected sex, where you may be in your cycle, medications you take and other individual considerations.
If you are trying to decide between them, start with Ella vs. Plan B: What’s the Difference?.
And if you think you may have already ovulated, the answer becomes more complicated. Learn more in Can Ella Work After Ovulation? and Does Plan B Work After Ovulation?.
Don’t know when you ovulated? You’re not alone.
Most people do not know the exact hour—or even the exact day—they ovulate.
Apps predict. Bodies do not always follow the app.
Cycle length can change, ovulation can shift, and an estimated fertile window is still an estimate. That uncertainty is one reason it can be useful to have a clinician review your situation instead of trying to solve the entire question yourself while the clock is running.
If this is exactly what brought you here, read I Don’t Know When I Ovulated—Should I Take Ella?.
A few important things to know before requesting Ella
Ella is not the right choice for every person or every situation. A clinician should review your health information and the medications and supplements you take because some medications can reduce Ella’s effectiveness or affect which emergency contraception option is appropriate.
Ella also interacts differently with regular hormonal birth control than many people realize.
After taking Ella, you generally need to wait five days before starting or restarting hormonal birth control because progestin-containing contraception may interfere with Ella’s ability to work. Follow your clinician’s instructions about when to restart your birth control and how long to use backup contraception.
For a fuller explanation, see When Can I Restart Birth Control After Ella vs. Plan B?.
Emergency contraception does not end an existing pregnancy and is not the same thing as medication abortion. If you have questions about that distinction, read Is Emergency Contraception Like the Abortion Pill?.
Emergency contraception also does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
What if my period is late after Ella?
Ella can affect the timing of your next period. It may come earlier or later than expected.
If your period is more than a week late, take a pregnancy test. If you are trying to figure out when testing becomes meaningful, see Negative Pregnancy Test After Ella: What Does It Mean?.
Seek urgent medical care for severe abdominal or pelvic pain, fainting, heavy bleeding, or other severe or concerning symptoms.
Straightforward care shouldn’t suddenly become expensive because it’s online
That is really the point of the new $20 Ella visit.
We do not think accessing straightforward women’s healthcare should require a membership, a monthly subscription, a medication markup, or a high telehealth fee.
And affordable care does not mean careless care.
It means we have chosen to keep the price simple while still providing the part that matters: appropriate medical screening and review by a licensed clinician.
You answer the health questions first.
You find out whether care may be appropriate.
You know exactly what our visit costs.
You choose your pharmacy.
And you decide whether you want to continue.
No subscription required. No mystery checkout. No waiting for us to ship medication that you may need now.
Healthcare first. Checkout second.
$20 Ella visit. Your pharmacy. Your choice.
