Contraception (Birth Control)

It depends on a lot of things and your preferences. To talk through our options, you can book a session with a peer education volunteer or check out our fact sheets for more help!

Emergency contraceptive pills (sometimes called “ECP”, the “morning after pill” or “Plan B”) are pills that contain hormones that you can use up to 5 days after you have unprotected vaginal* sex. For more information, check out this fact sheet.

*We know that these aren’t the words everyone uses for their bodies (e.g. trans folks), and support you using the language that feels best for you.

The clinic has both oral (pill) and IUD emergency contraceptive options. Both require an appointment. If an appointment isn’t available, we can provide clients with a coupon to purchase the emergency contraception pill at a nearby pharmacy at a reduced price.

Yes, we sell birth control at our clinic. However, you must have a prescription from a PPT clinician. If you haven’t had birth control prescribed by one of our clinicians, you cannot pick up your birth control from our clinic, so if you need a renewal or refill on an outside prescription, you will first have to book an appointment with us.
