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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Works. I had unprotected sex one day after I stopped menstruating completely. And I thought I would have to wait longer than mentioned on the reviews here to get my period. But it started in 6 days, and I could never be more relieved about a second period in the same month. Until I got my period I didn't have any side effects except extreme sleepiness. During my period I am feeling weaker than usual and no cramps yet. The bleeding pattern seems different (amount, colour ) But I presume that is one time and to be expected.
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.
Our condom seemed to not have worked properly, but I had to work so I didn't take the pill until about 18 hours later. I have taken the two pill process about a year ago when the same had happened, and I didn't become pregnant then nor experience side effects that were noticeable. With this pill, I have been tired, but I am a teacher who works long hours and grades late into the evening so I didn't attribute it to the pill. I was not nauseated but took it a couple of hours before bed and was my usual tired self. My period came 5 days later with a vengance (strong cramps/heavier bleeding). It is 2 weeks early, which scared me a bit. That is why I wrote this review and sought out others. I also experienced diarrhea due to cramps being so strong.
