Check out our new Resource Spotlight, featuring Opill!

Thanks to Opill's commitment to health equity, we were awarded a product donation to provide Opill for FREE at our clinic!
Opill is available at RCHW during our office hours Tuesday-Friday 1-5pm, AND at the Trans Resource Fair on Tuesday, March 31st 3-7pm!

We are so excited to offer Opill in our community - Opill is the first FDA-approved OTC daily oral contraceptive! As a small nonprofit, Opill makes an amazing addition to our other s*xual health resources, such as HIV & STI testing and prevention education counseling, and s*xual health supplies. Having Opill at our clinic also helps reduce access barriers by removing the need for a doctor's appointment, prescription and wait time.

As a progestin-only pill (POP), it does not contain estrogen, meaning it will not interact with testosterone therapy or interfere with masculinization. It is an effective option for preventing unintended pregnancy, which is still possible while on testosterone.
-No Interaction: Progestin-only methods like Opill do not hinder the effects of testosterone.
-Safety: Opill is safe to use with gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT).
-Added Benefits: Progestin-only pills can help further reduce or stop menstrual bleeding, which is often desirable, though they may occasionally cause spotting.
-Pregnancy Risk: Testosterone does not reliably stop ovulation; therefore, if you have a uterus and are having penetrative s*x, birth control is necessary.
