When used perfectly, the pill is 99% effective. This is much higher than condoms and other forms of birth control. The more regularly you take your pills, the more effective they will be. However, because many people don’t use the pill perfectly (e.g. missing their pill), it can end up being around 91% effective. This is why we strongly recommend that you do your best to use to take your pill consistently, and in the manner prescribed by your medical provider.

Yes. There are many different kinds of birth control pills (with different doses of hormones). Depending on your medical history, some pills may be more suitable for you than others.

1. If you have used birth control before, you can fill in our online health questionnaire and attend a short check-in appointment with a doctor. If you’re a first-time birth control pill user, you will need to sign up for a longer teleconsultation with one of our physicians for $20 to discuss birth control options in greater detail.

2. Our doctor will review your questionnaire responses and issue a prescription (if appropriate).
 
3. We deliver your birth control to your doorstep in discreet, unbranded packaging.
 
4. Once your supply runs out, simply submit a short renewal form to get a refill

If you order at 9pm and your doctor’s appointment is at 11pm your package will arrive by 12pm the next day).

If you would like to provide additional information or special notes for the delivery driver, you may indicate them on the checkout page.

Yes, all first time birth control users will have to sign up for a birth control teleconsultation for our doctor to understand your health history and preferences before prescribing a suitable brand/type of birth control for you.

Some common side effects include headaches, nausea, spotting (light bleeding between periods), breast tenderness, and/or changes in your menstrual cycle (it might come early, late, or stop altogether). Good news is that they don’t affect everyone and they tend to go away in 2-3 months as your body gets adjusted to the hormones.

There are two main differences among different brands of pills.

1. Number of pills per pack: Some pills contain only 21 active pills. This means that for 1 week a month, you won’t take any pills and start your next pack after the 7-day break. Other brands provide 28 pills (24 active pills and 4 placebo pills) which means you will take 1 pill each day of the month.

2. Hormonal dosage: While all combination pills contain the hormones estrogen and progestin, they have different dosage levels. Specific dosage levels may suit you best depending on your health history and your preferences (e.g. if you want to skip your periods or not). If in doubt, you may sign up for a teleconsutlation with one of our doctors, who will be able to help you find a brand that works for you.

Yes. If this is your first purchase of birth control pills through Ease, you will need to attend a short video consultation with the doctor before they can write your prescription and get your medication dispensed.

However, if you have purchased birth control pills using Ease and would like to renew your purchase, you can simply fill up a Birth Control Renewal form and we will arrange for your medication to be dispensed and dispatched!

You can receive your birth control in as little as 4 hours after your doctor’s appointment, if you select our free 4-hour delivery service. Purchases made following an appointment will be delivered by 3pm the next day. You can also select our free 1 – 3 business day lettebox delivery via Singpost, which works best if you are not in a hurry and might not be home to receive the package.

We do not currently have any arrangements with insurers. However, we’re happy to provide any invoices or documents you may need to make your claims. Please reach out to us if you need any assistance on this.

As long as there is no medical reason to stop taking the pill, you can be on it for years, whether to regulate your menstrual cycle, treat cramps or prevent pregnancy. The best part? You can stop taking the pill at any point if you decide you do want to get pregnant; there is no change in long-term fertility with the use of birth control pills.
