Meet the pill

Effective, estrogen-free birth control

Petal contains norgestrel, the same active ingredient as FDA-approved Opill. It's a progestin-only pill — which means no estrogen, making it a great option for a wide range of people, including those who can't use estrogen-based contraceptives.

Your questions, answered

We're an open book

Is this really available without a prescription?
Yes! The FDA approved norgestrel (Opill) as an over-the-counter contraceptive in 2023 — meaning no prescription, no doctor's visit required. We do a short health intake to make sure it's right for you, and our board-certified OB/Gyn reviews every order personally.
How is my privacy protected?
Your privacy matters to us. Your shipments arrive in plain, unlabeled packaging. Your health information is encrypted and stored securely in compliance with HIPAA. We never sell your data, ever.
Who is the progestin-only pill a good fit for?
Progestin-only pills are a great option for many people, including those who are breastfeeding, those who can't use estrogen for health reasons, and anyone who wants a highly effective daily pill. Our health intake helps identify if it's the right fit for you specifically.
What if I have questions about my health intake?
Dr. Chen is here for exactly that. After your intake, you can message her directly with any questions — about the pill, potential side effects, how it interacts with your health history, or anything else. She responds within 24 hours, every day, and your conversation is completely private.
Can I cancel or pause my subscription?
Absolutely, no questions asked. You can pause or cancel your subscription at any time from your account dashboard. Life changes, and your birth control plan should be able to change with it.
