New Day for Emergency Contraception User Reviews

"I took New Day on March 16th, 2021 at 11:00 am approximately 42 hours after having unprotected sex. I was right at my ovulation time and didn’t realize it until that morning. After taking it, I didn’t have any side effects until March 20th when I started having strong cramps, pelvic pain, night sweats, lower back pain, milky cervical mucus and even leg pain. These side effects lasted until March 28th. My period tracker app told me to expect my period on the 29th but it didn't come until the 31st. My period is a little bit heavier than it normally is but that’s ok. It means the pill did its job."

"I know why you’re here and I’m here to help. I didn’t take a Plan B because they were out but the pharmacy tech told me that NEW DAY is the exact same thing. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and he finished inside me. I am not on any form of birth control. My health app said it was my fertile window so I’m freaking out. The next day (roughly 8 hours after) I went to the store and purchased this pill. A few hours later, I did experience nausea. Days after that I had really bad headaches. My cycle was scheduled to come 2 weeks later and it came on time. My advice to you reading this is to not stress and trust the pill. It works! I have it a 10/10 because it did do it’s job. I am not pregnant but did have side effects. I expected to have some sort of punishment for even doing this lol... If you’re freaking out like I did, you shouldn’t be having unprotected sex if you’re not ready for a kid. Get on birth control or use protection! Good luck ladies!!"
