Have abortion pills on hand — before you ever need them.

What is advance provision?

Advance provision means getting abortion pills before you are pregnant, so you have them on hand if you ever need them. It's sometimes called “pills in pocket” or “pills for future use.” The FDA-approved medications used in medication abortion are stable when stored at room temperature, away from heat and moisture.

For many people, having pills already at home means they don't have to scramble during a stressful moment, worry about shipping times, or navigate access in an emergency.

Who advance provision is for

• You live in one of our 14 service states
• You are not currently pregnant
• You want to be prepared in case you need abortion care in the future
• You're comfortable storing the medication safely at home

How it works

1. Start a consultation.Fill out a short intake form online — about 10 minutes. Mention that you're requesting advance provision.
2. Clinician review. A licensed clinician reviews your information and follows up if anything else is needed.
3. Discreet delivery. Your order ships in plain, unmarked packaging to the address you choose.

Common questions

How long do the pills stay good?

FDA-approved abortion pills have a long shelf life when stored at room temperature, away from heat and moisture. Your clinician will share specific expiration information with your order.

What if I never use them?

That's a perfectly good outcome. Many people order advance provision and never end up needing it — the peace of mind is the point.

What if I do need them later?

If you become pregnant and decide to use the medication, we strongly encourage you to reach out to a clinician (you can come back to Roxy) to confirm timing and instructions for your specific situation. You should never feel like you're navigating it alone.
