Plan B (levonorgestrel): I've used it way more than a few times. It truly works and truth be told it does mess up your period. One time it went away for 3 months and I was going crazy thinking I was pregnant but I wasn't. It's different for everyone but most of the time I'm normal and no side effects. It is expensive though.

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel): Well, lets just say that I had a wonderful cruise. When me and my partner were done with all 3 times we've done it, the condom would always go missing. Stressed out, and having to wait until I got off the boat, I ran to the nearest pharmacy to buy the one step pill. Mind you, I did take it within the 72 hours as intended. After two weeks of patiently waiting for my period, it came, all but a few days late. I'm writing this review because i was stressing out whether the pill worked or not. Just letting you know that it does. And I was pretty close to the 72 hour deadline.

Plan B (levonorgestrel): I've used it two or three times, it is (evidently) very effective, and accessable which is great. It will mess up your menstruation cycle a bit, however.

Plan B (levonorgestrel): I've taken it twice, one about three weeks after the other. it worked, though I did start my period a week after taking the pill both times. I was a little concerned having two periods so close to together but I was assured it was fine, and there was nothing unusual about the periods except the timing. Also, taking Plan B with alcohol didn't make the pill ineffective for me. Good to know.

Plan B (levonorgestrel): I took the Plan B pill 6 hours after having unprotected sex. I received my period one week later, which was 2-3 weeks ago. I am experiencing days where I am bloated to the max, and it never seems to be a day where I am not bloated. I also experience severe pains in my lower abdomen by my ovaries. It feels like I am cramping everyday and feels like I'm going to start my period. The pill was effective in not making me pregnant.

Plan B (levonorgestrel): November 18 I got my period and on Dec 3-4th my boyfriend and I hadn't use protection and I was a little worried because the days happen to fall right smack in my mid-cycle. We use contraceptive but I guess the heat of the moment caught us off guard. On Dec 5th at 8pm I took the Plan B pill. I did experience some cramping and mild nausea, after taking the pill but nothing unbearable. I waited for my period and on Dec 16th... I got it! It was right on time. I am very please with this product.
Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel): I took this pill yesterday around 9 pm... I felt fine. I actually had no nausea maybe a slight bit of dizziness but that's about it. I woke up this morning after sleeping for 10 hours and I still felt exhausted. Today I've been tired all day to where I could probably pass out any time but already having two kids I can say what I've felt from this pill is no match for what I felt with pregnancy and motherhood.
Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel): Prior to taking this pill, I bought and took dramamine 45 minutes before Plan B to avoid experiencing severe side effects. I took Plan B at 11AM and by 2PM, I was dizzy and disfunctionally exhausted. I finally went and bought a coffee which kicked in about 2 hours later. I went to the gym at about 7PM and after about 3 different exercises, I was so sick, I thought I was going to die. I was sweating excessively, felt nausea, and didn't know if I was going to vomit or have diarrhea. I felt so sick and dizzy until my boyfriend got scared and thought he was going to have to take me to the ER. I drank tons of water, laid down, and felt better. Even today, I still feel a little dizzy.
Plan B (levonorgestrel): It messed up my period. Only bad side effect was it made me miss my period all together. So ladies don't be too concerned if you are late on your period.
Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel): Had unprotected sex Sunday morning and got/took the pill the next day. Felt perfectly fine that day but everyday up until today I have been cramping and my breasts have been super tender, but I knew it was normal since it was stated as one of the side effects. But I didn't know it was going to make me get my period so early. I'm supposed to get it two weeks from now but got it today. I'm glad I did because now I have some closure knowing that it worked!
Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel): I have taken Plan B in emergency situations only, 3 times over the past years. Each time I was exhausted and had stomach upset the day of ,until 3 days later. This last time I took Plan B my menstrual cycle started 2 weeks early, and less than 6 days after I took the pill. This scared me even though the side effects were clearly stated on the box and insert. Menstrual changes can occur, and it can arrive early, but 2 weeks early?
Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel): I had protected intercourse a day before my scheduled period and the condom broke. I freaked out and it was the 1st time it have ever happened to me. So within a hour I took Plan B One Step and later on that day I experienced nausea, tiredness, a little diarrhea and tender breasts. So within 5 days (my period came on 5 days late). I had bleeding and cramping, the bleeding lasted for 6 days (I'm guessing the 6 day bleeding will be considered a period). It have been a month since the mishap, now I'm waiting for my scheduled period for this month(December). It says it will cause menstrual changes, so now I just have to wait.
Plan B (levonorgestrel): This is a very good product. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex twice in one day. The next day I went and got Plan B. I started to experience extreme fatigue and stomach cramps, but a week later I got my period.
Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel): After reading other user reviews on the internet, I took some Dramamine an hour beforehand to avoid being nauseous. I then took Plan B at 5pm, and I didn't feel sick, just a bit disoriented and had a headache. I ate dinner and carried on about my night as normal - no strenuous activity, just a bit of cleaning and a bath. I ended up going to bed (was so tired - passed out!) around 8pm, and slept for 14 hours. I was a bit dizzy and lethargic the next day.
Plan B (levonorgestrel): Plan B works. After reading some reviews, I was worried, but after talking with a professional, I found that most failures occur when the pill is not taken within the time frame given. I took the pill with 2 hours of our mishap and had absolutely no side effects. Good luck and follow the instructions.
Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel): Took this a little after 48 hours of unprotected sex and felt absolutely no side effects, maybe a stomach ache but I took it at night so I didn't notice any sleepiness or dizziness. I'd recommend it over pregnancy any day.
Plan B (levonorgestrel): I was pretty sure I wasn't going to become pregnant, but just to be sure, I took Plan B (I still spent an agonizing month waiting to see if I was right). I waited about 48 hours after intercourse to take it, because I was afraid of the side effects, and I had to work and give a presentation at school. I felt a bit 'off' and nauseated after taking it, but nothing serious. Don't let the side effects stop you from taking Plan B. It's pricey, but I think it's a good idea to have a dose on hand, just in case.
Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel): Well I took the Plan B One-Step pill approximately 4 hours ago and I have not had any type of side effects so far. I did take some type of nausea syrup just in case, but I feel pretty good right now.
Plan B (levonorgestrel): I've taken Plan B a number of times. I have bipolar disorder, sometimes not even my medication can hold back my manic episodes. This is something that has literally saved my life from myself... as a person with a mental illness. It has worked every time. It either makes me get my period within a few weeks or it skips it. The times it has made me get my period have been accompanied by severe cramps but they go away.
Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel): Yay! This is the miracle pill. I'm not pregnant. Had sex at 12:45 comdom broke at one. 10:00 am that morning I took the Plan B One Step pill immediately. Five days later I started my cycle.
Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel): I took plan B less than 2 hours after the condom broke. My boyfriend and I were so worried. About a week later, my period arrived for only a few days. I was still worried that I could be pregnant so I took two pregnancy tests that both turned out negative. One month later when my next period was supposed to arrive, it didnt. I panicked. Then about two weeks later it showed up. If you took the pill in the right time window after your accident, stop worrying like I did. Chances are, you are NOT pregnant. Breathe, relax, and take a pregnancy test as soon as possible.
Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel): I took the pill around noon today, less than 12 hours after the incident. I ate a small lunch after and I feel absolutely no side effects. I'm a tad tired but nothing out of the ordinary. My period is scheduled for next week. I'm impatiently waiting.
