"Let me just tell y'all that these past two months have been a roller coaster of a ride for me. So babe and I did the deed on May 22nd the day after my period. Honestly I don't know if he came in me or not but to give me a peace of mind I went and bought Plan B on May 23rd approximately 26-28 hours after the deed was done. I was beating myself up because I didn't use any contraceptive and I felt really silly. The day after I took the pill I had a slight headache. Four days later I begin to have spotting. I spotted starting on May 28th and ended on June 3rd. My due date for my cycle was on June 14th. I have been bloated, nauseous, constipated, headaches, fatigued, very moody. I begin to stress and panic. My anxiety got the best of me and went into depression. Honestly if I would have never found this website, I would be more of a mess than I am now. PLEASE. DON'T. GOOGLE. ANYTHING. Trust the pill. After 23 days, I finally got my period today on July 7th."

"Okay girls I promised myself that if this pill worked for me I would come back and comment on this and share my story. So I’m 20 years old and am already a mom of two. I met up with some old friends this summer and stupidly had unprotected sex with a guy I use to date years ago. He pulled out and didn’t finish in me but I’m the paranoid type so I went and bought a plan b two days later. I was also in my fertile window according to my app. I was SO bloated for weeks and anxiously awaited my period but it didn’t come on the expected day so then I really freaked out. My period ended up being two weeks late! The worst two week of anxiety I’ve ever had. I’ve only used the pill about maybe 4 or 5 times in my life and it’s worked every time. Girlies, try to relax. I’ve been in your shoes before I promise. I’m never putting myself through that again but am so thankful the pill came through. The best of luck to everyone reading through these comments. Xoxo"

"Ladies this works, I promised myself if I got my period I would write a review. I had already ovulated, the condom broke while it was inside of me, AND I took this pill at hour 70. After three weeks tons of pregnancy tests, sore breasts, weird spotting (brown and pink.. was convinced it was implantation bleeding) I finally got my period. It was 4 days late and started out very slowly but it’s here. Trust the process, get off of google and remember that everyone’s body is different and will have a different reaction to the hormones."

"Girls Everything will be ok, let me share my experience. I was not thinking and I had unprotected sex on Sep 19 around 5 days before my ovulation. I took the plan b 30 min after sex btw he didn’t cum or anything I took it bc I didn’t want to risk it. A week later I started bleeding and I thought it was my period but it wasn’t I found out is bleeding between period, but I did start to panic, girls please don’t google anything bc it will trick and mess with you mind. Well anyway I was thinking thinking and almost convinced my self that I was pregnant. On October 8 my period was supposed to arrive but now my period arrive it was 15 days late.

And don’t stress about it bc it will delay you period even more just relax ok it will be and this was definitely a lesson learned for me I will never have sex always have all the precautions"

"So we had unprotected sex on the last day of my period and 3 days after period. He came in me both times. I have irregular period time that could happen 18-28 days in random and I never had a late period in my whole life, they are always less than 28 days. So I started to getting nervous since google told me irregular period time could cause early ovulation too. I took plan b 40 hours after yea I know it's late. Some spotting showed up a week later. My period didn't arrive on the expected day and I already said I never had a late period so by the time 28 days came around without a period I was totally freaking out. Guys I know my body and I know how it reacts. I always get breakouts on my face and like lower back pain but none of those signs showed up. I found these comments really helpful so I relaxed and a week later, I finally got my period. No pain but I did noticed a larger amount of flow. My advice is DON'T GOOGLE ANYTHING. You are just freaking yourself out. Just give it time and patience."

"Hoping this will help someone out there because I did not see a lot like this. I am not on birth control. I had sex a few days after ovulation and the condom completely broke and semen went inside of me fully. I was freaking out especially because the guy I have been seeing for a year is a secret and we could never be together due to religious reasons. I got plan b immediately. I was freaking out and crying for about 2 weeks because everywhere online said it’s not effective after ovulation. I took an early pregnancy test and it was negative and my period came a day late. I am so thankful this worked but I am not going to have him ejaculate in the condom again."

"Sharing my experience because I promised I would to calm others' nerves if it worked for me. I'm a 20 year old college student who had sex during my fertile window and the condom broke!! He finished completely inside of me. I had been on and off birth control, but was off it for a couple of months with plans to change to another form. I ran to the pharmacy and took Plan B within an hour of this happening. reading reviews that said that Plan B was ineffective during ovulation made me want to DIE. I was an anxious mess for two weeks. I did have some side effects after taking it, including swollen breasts (the first sign of pregnancy which sent me off the deep end) and mood swings. However, after much waiting, my period finally came..and four days early! My cramps are unbearable, but its better than being pregnant ... right? Plan B DOES WORK. IT IS EFFECTIVE EVEN DURING OVULATION. To the girl who's reading this with her heart in her throat, take a deep breath and know that Plan B works."

"To the teenage girl reading this YOU WILL BE ok. I said I’d write a review of this worked. It’s been the worst month of my life but one day late my period came. I had spotting similar to implantation bleeding 5 days after taking the pill and nausea and headaches and had to pee. So basically every pregnancy symptom in the book. I had sex with out a condom on the last day of my period and he pulled out so I probably shouldn’t of taken it but I did and it honestly gave me so much anxiety and stuff but just take a deep breathe and let it do it’s thing. try not to convince yourself ur pregnant because that makes it so much worse. You’ll get better"

"After reading EVERY single review on this website, I made sure to write one myself if Plan B worked. I had my period on Feb 6th for 6 days that ended on the 11th. I had unprotected sex Feb 13th. My boyfriend didn't finish in me, but it was the first time we didn't use a condom at all (I'm not on birth control). On Feb 14th, we went unprotected again, but for a few minutes until we put a condom on. I decided to take a plan b on the 15th. The only symptom was a horrible headache. A week later, I started spotting for about 4 days with cramps. After this, I didn't get my next period for 43 DAYS! I think because I don't use birth control and the excessive stress caused my body to go whack. During this time, I took 5 pregnancy tests, all negative. I continued to have sex throughout, just more safe. My advice is to stay OFF the internet and try to be calm. Another thing, everyone's body is different, so don't worry if your experience is different from others. You're going to be okay!"

"My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and he finished fully inside me- no pullout or anything. I’m also not on birth control. AND it was THE ovulation day. My period tracking app said it was the most fertile day of my cycle. I took it within 30 mins of him doing that, and I just started my period 5 days before it was scheduled to arrive. I spent so much money on pregnancy tests while checking this past week and a half. I had all of the symptoms: nausea, vomiting, bloating, mood swings, sore breasts, extreme fatigue. This pill can cause those things. The odds really are in your favor and don’t let any other apps or pills say that this one doesn’t work while ovulating. Tons of girls take it on their ovulation and they’re fine. Just take this pill immediately (within an hour) and try to relax! Keep living life—don’t let stress take over ❤️"

"I had sex and he fully ejaculated inside of me during my "most fertile day" on Flo, my ovualation app. I took it about 8 hours later. I had a week of heavy bleeding, cramps, basically a period. It was just withdrawal bleeding. Like many women I was petrified that I was not safe because I had already ovulated. After I found out the bleeding was withdrawal bleeding I thought I could be pregnant for sure. I was already pregnant once 3 months ago and I had an abortion. It was horrible. I never ever want to go through that again but I thought I might have to. I had light bleeding and brown blood for days, pain that felt like implantation bleeding (which I have felt before), and other early pregnancy symptoms. My period came 2 days late. This drug works even if you are ovulating. The symptoms are so torturous however and you can feel like you are insane. But it does the job. You're not pregnant girl. Be grateful!!!!"

"Ok so I really wanted to share my experience with other women. I am 20 years old my boyfriend and I have had unprotected sex I didn’t realize I was ovulating (according to my app) the day I was we had unprotected sex until about 2 days afterwards I was freaking out so I decided to take the pill I just can’t remember if it was 48 or 72 hours. I was stressed out I wasn’t ready to have a baby I didn’t get my period the day I was suppose to get it, so I was certain I was pregnant but I got my period 3 days late. I am so relieved that I’m not pregnant and wanted to share my experience because most of the reviews I was reading while I was waiting to get my period was saying that if u had sex the day you were ovulating the pill dose not help but it did for me and I took it 2-3 days afterwards."

"I took this on April 7 2020 (the day after) and received my period on the 24th of April. Normal 5-7 day period. So I went about the whole month the same UNTIL, May came along which my period was supposed to come again, obviously right? But no. I panicked because I didn’t know what was going on with my body if I was prego or if I was just going crazy. Turns out I started my period June 1st - DAY 38. I was 12 days late from when my period was “supposed” to start. So. I didn’t have any side effects but my SECOND cycle started late as heck. So if y’all are worried about being prego or whatever your period may come later in the second cycle. It did not have this side effect on the medication but I just wanted to share my experience. Also I only took one plan b. I’ve never taken any medication like that in my life. SO!! All in all, It worked but you may discover yourself in the same situation as me, getting your SECOND period late. :)"

"I had unprotected sex on my ovulation day (according to Flo app). My boyfriend pulled out but we went for round two...without cleaning up, so I decided to take the pill the next morning just to be safe. Five days after I began to bleed lightly for three days. After the second week I got hit with ALL of the symptoms. I had mild cramping, nausea, fatigue, sore nipples, and I broke out HORRIBLY. I took a pregnancy test 7 days after my missed period, it was negative. The next day I got my period (8 days late) . Very heavy and bad cramping. I read pages of the reviews panicking about if the pill would work or not on ovulation but it did for me so just relax."

"I had sex the day after my period ended, and just my luck, the condom broke! I took this pill within 6 hours, and a week later I bled for 3 days straight, which was awful, and then it went away. I was super nervous ALL MONTH. Took a pregnancy test and everything. Negative, but try telling that to a scared girl! However, my period came on time this month, and the cramps are horrible! But the pill did its job. Relax, girl. You'll be okay. And stop reading these reviews! You're freaking yourself out. YOU WILL BE OKAY."

"I just wanted to share my experience with this Plan B pill. This was my first time taking Plan B, took Ella previously and didn’t have any side effects . But since it was the weekend and I couldn’t get Ella , I decided to take Plan B. I was in my fertile days, first day of the days leading to ovulation. Started freaking out and decided to take Plan B 18 hours later to make sure everything was ok. I started bleeding exactly 7 days after taking the pill, it looked like a light period that lasted 6 days. 3 days later my actual period started, a week earlier than it was supposed to. The only thing that is different it looks like the pill made my period lighter and not as painful as usual. No major side effects besides bleeding, some nausea just for one day..Trust the pill and relax! DON’T freak out and don’t google any symptoms. Listen to your body. And girls....take care of your body! No one else will do that for you . I’m definitely not taking this again tho. Good luck ladies ❤️"

"I had unprotected sex and he claims that he didn’t cum, but the way he was moaning throughout our time together made me a bit nervous! I know that the chances of getting pregnant from precum are slim to nothing, so I wasn’t too worried. However, the next morning when I realized that I had been ovulating according to my period tracker, I ran to the store and got Plan B! I took it 16 hours after the deed was done. A week before my expected period I experienced lots of nausea, cramping, and fatigue but no period. Fast forward to when my period was 1 day late and I started freaking out. All the stress made me 4 days late, yet extremely grateful to not be pregnant"

"I wanted to share a positive post on here. I took Plan B about 20 hours after unprotected sex. For 3 weeks, I panicked. I saw no spotting at all, except for one day after taking it (which I swore was implementation bleeding). I was also sick to my stomach and my boobs hurt. After several pregnancy tests and being a week late, finally got my period. The wait almost literally had me on edge, but never so glad to get my period. Never again taking this chance. Please try to stay calm and trust the pill and process. I took this pill literally on during ovulation and it still worked. Very effective. Just remember everyone's body reacts differently to the hormones."

"I am 23, 5’8, 255 pounds .. I had unprotected sex on February 15 , according to my tracker it was two days before ovulation at approx 10 pm ,I took the pill the next morning at 12/ 1 in the afternoon .. I took it on a full stomach and for the most part I didn’t have any side affects ... I read reviews and forums like this and was scared to death !!! Don’t do it get off of here !. I was scared that it wouldn’t work because of my bmi .. I was very moody and depressed some days and I was urinating very frequently .. every two hours almost .. my discharge was very thin and watery with no stretch .. .. I am here to tell you it messes your body up but it works my cycle came on this morning on time it is heavy ! But I’d take a heavy cycle over being pregnant. Will be going to back to get birth control soon !!"

"Ladies don’t stress, most of the time this pill works! I’m writing this because I know how much I stressed waiting for my period to finally arrive and these reviews calmed me down and made me feel like I wasn’t alone. My only side effects were fatigue and a few days of spotting starting around 5 days after I took the pill. Finally after about 2 weeks past my expected period it finally came! Try not to stress, which I know is hard, but stress really does only delay your period more. Hope this helps!"

"I had unprotected sex last month on the 26th at 12AM and according to my period app I was ovulating. I should’ve told him I wasn’t on birth control, the same day he brought me a Plan B and I took it right away. I was really anxious. I had a few symptoms. The first day it made me really sleep. A week after I took it the symptoms continued I had mild cramps, bloated, had mood swings. The waiting game was hard seeing if my period was gonna show up on time. Now today, my period started at day early supposed to gotten my period June 8th. Never been so happy to see blood! I’ve seen a lot of people say the pill won’t work. If you’re ovulating that’s not true so do stress yourself out the pull will work"
