# Can I be charged on the same date each month?

Unfortunately, as birth control is a 28 day-cycle medication, we are unable to charge subscribers on the same date every month. If we were to charge you on the same date each month, this would be a 30/31 day gap between each prescription, so within a couple of months, you'd be a whole week behind on pills before your next pack is delivered. As birth control needs to be taken daily to be effective, we cannot not advise this.

This is why our subscriptions repeat every 28 days.

We do send a 48hr reminder email each month to all subscribers to let you know when we will be trying to process payment.
