"You’re probably scrolling right now super anxious and stressed, so I say calm down and let the pill work it’s magic. I’m certain it was on ovulation day, the condom broke, he said he did a risky pull out but I honestly don’t trust pulling out method out at all!!! Lol I just don’t trust anyone enough to beat biology like that and I don’t even want to think about children till I’m 30. I dragged him to immediately buy me Plan B afterwards(bout 20min later) and took it in the parking lot. About 5 days later I started to get super bloated, loss of appetite, crazy mood swings, nausea, tender breast, and rise in temperature. Another 4 days and cramping arrived, I saw spotting (like literal red dots) on the 4th day and that definitely made panic but the next day I saw clots and regular flow. Symptoms were awful but It did it’s job and that’s all that matters."

"I promised myself I would shared my experience ! And guess what it did work for me and I was close to ovulation! My period was suppose to be here by August 21 and it didn’t I panicked a lot like a lot! My period came after 14 days late it started Sept. 3rd! The side effects to me were terrible! I had anxiety attacks, I was always nervous, nausea, bloated. But it worked! I never plan on using it again though! Take a deep breath you will be fine! Just don’t stress so much like I did I know it’s impossible but just try❤️"

"I told myself I would share my experience if it worked because these reviews were the only thing keeping me sane. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on the 14th which was when I was ovulating. Keep in mind I’m not on any birth control nor did we use a condom. I know dumb. We bought a plan b and I took it an hour after we finished. For two weeks I was a mess. Especially when I found out it doesn't work during ovulation. I had extreme nausea, my boobs hurt, I had chills, lower back pain, bloating. I was convinced I was pregnant. But I got my period today a day late. It’s heavier than usual and the cramps are unbearable, but now I can relax. So please for the girl reading this take a deep breath. This pill really works."

"“Effective” my ass. I literally took this within the hour of a condom malfunction and it DID NOT WORK. I was not ovulating or fertile, according to my period app. I waited almost 4 weeks after taking the pill to take a test, and sure enough it was positive. I read every review on here to try and ease my mind for such a late period, and I was one of the unlucky ones. If your period is more than 2 weeks late, please take a test. I’m writing this review to help others. I will forever be more careful."

"I was not going to post a review but decided to after realizing there might be someone out there very nervous right now. I had sex a day after my period ended and while I probably didn't even need it, I was very scared, being a teenager, and decided to take Plan B. I took it five hours after the incident and I didn't have any side effects. I got my period 1 week 2 days after the pill, which is odd considering I just had it, but Plan B messes up your period. Now I'm not sure whether my next period will come when it was originally supposed to, or in a month, but since I got my period I know Plan B worked. I worried myself sick but reading all the positive reviews helped and I hope this one does too!"

"To whoever is reading this: You’re probably stressed, anxious, and worried. But trust the pill, you will be absolutely fine <3. I took plan b after the condom broke, which was close to my ovulation day. A week later I had brown spotting that lasted the entire month. But, at last I got my period!! It was 4 days late, and I was so worried the entire month. I had stopped living my life over this one thing. The pill works 95% of the time but I kept thinking about that slight chance when it doesn’t. Don’t think like that!! The odds are in your favour. Its can be really disheartening to read a bad review where the pill doesn’t work. However, don’t forget that for person who it didn’t work for, there are hundreds of thousands of people that it did work for!! You will be absolutely fine girl!! xxx"

"Long story short I had un protected sex TWICE in one month. Once on December 3 and the other on NYE Dec 31. I also took plan B each time. You can just imagine how messed up my cycle was and to make matters worse on Dec 31 I was OVULATING. Not just assumed ovulation because of an app, like I took an OPK and it said my LH levels were HIGH. I had almost every pregnancy symptom imaginable after taking my second plan B. However, I am proud to say that I got my period today on Jan 15. My last period started on Dec 4, so I was over a week late. I couldn’t help but read everywhere that Plan B does NOT work when you are ovulating. Please please do NOT freak out because it worked for me in the worst possible scenario. I also know for a FACT that I am VERY fertile because I have already had to terminate one pregnancy before. Despite me ovulating and being very fertile, it WORKED."

"I had unprotected sex extremely close to my predicted ovulation. I took a plan B 4 hours later, only to learn that it is much less effective if ovulation has already occurred. Nothing to do but for my period. Exactly 14 days after I had some spotting, at first I was so elated because I thought it was my period. After the bleeding stopped I turned to Google (mistake). I convinced myself it was implantation bleeding, combined with the sore breasts I was experiencing I was sure I was pregnant. I took an early pregnancy test and it was negative. That same evening I got my period (:D). During my hours of stress, I read similar stories to mine to help calm me down. There is no need to be worried until you have actually missed your period, even then plan B can cause it to be delayed. Even if you are pregnant, you have options, you'll be okay. Don't worry until you are sure you need to."

"I had unprotected sex on my ovulation day and I took the emergency pill the next day (less than 24 hours). After I week I got brown discharge and I assumed that it's my normal period but it stopped after 2 days. Now I'm currently waiting on my periods and hopefully I get them because I'm not ready to be a mom yet."

"Hello girls I want to share my experience with this drug. I had sex on ovulation day (day 13 of cycle) but the condom broke and he finished inside me. I panicked cause not using any regular contraceptive pill or IUD or anything and coming from a religious family meaning getting pregnant without marriage would be a disaster! So I had Plan B after 1 hour. I had mild cramps and headache only after few hours.. then I developed panic attacks but it could be from me being so anxious. Days after my breast were swollen and I was very moody. I had also mild headache. On day 18 I had major panic disorders and became very moody and had crying spells. My breasts became sensitive and hurt a little. Of course I went through depression thinking of what might happen if I got pregnant. However, I start having PMS like usual. On day 26 I had my period :)))))) Ladies.. believe in this pill. IT Works. I know it cause a lot of anxiety and this is normal its effective even after ovulation. Relax and let the pill does the job."

"To the girl who is reading this, calm down and know that everything will be ok! I promised myself that if it worked for me, I would leave a review. I had unprotected sex on Dec 7 and bought the pill 30 mins later. My last period was Nov 7. Fast forward to the end of Dec., and my period was nowhere in sight. I ignored my stress until I got VERY worried when my period was almost 3 weeks late. My nipples were more sensitive, my boobs were sore, I was moody and I was bloated but still no period. I had been scrolling through pages and pages of reviews trying to bring myself comfort and I kept seeing women saying it didn’t work and they were pregnant. I was starting to panic I decided to take a pregnancy test. I took two tests and they were both negative. The day after I took the tests my period came! (20 days late) Remember that the pill can mimic pregnancy symptoms, and everyone’s body is different. Not everyone’s body will react the same. You will be ok!"

"I want to share my experience taking plan b because I know some other ladies are just as scared as I was. I had sex with my boyfriend, but the condom had slid off without either of us knowing. He didn’t pull out either. I did not have time to stop at the store on my way home so I took plan b the next morning 16 hours after sex. You have to try not to throw up within the first two hours so I took a nap to prevent myself from doing so. I woke up light headed and feeling a little sick. After some time I felt completely fine. I noticed my emotions were really bad for the next few day maybe from the hormones in the pill. But I took a pregnancy test just to make sure and I am not pregnant! Even after 16 hours between sex and plan b! Please try your best not to google pregnancy symptoms because that will just scare you. Just stay strong and be patient! I’m sending prayers your way❤️"

"DO NOT STRESS!!!! So, I took plan b after the condom broke during sex, one day after my period (day 6 of my cycle). I took the pill about an hour after. Sometimes my period comes on day 21, so I wanted to be safe just in case I ovulated early. About 5 days after I took the pill, I started spotting (but kinda heavily) a DARK brown color. That progressed into a decent amount of blood, enough to warrant a tampon. The bleeding lasted for about 3 days, but wasn't super heavy. I also had cramps for about an hour but they were very light. I've taken plan b twice before, and only had light bleeding one of those times. Some time passes, to about a week and a half before my period is supposed to come. I start feeling pain in my lower back, very light. I'm getting bored of writing this tbh, but I just got my period on day 31 of my cycle. DON'T STRESS!!!"

"Honestly, reading these reviews really helped me get through it so I promised myself I would write one too. I am 19 and It was probably the day after my period ended about Nov 4th, my boyfriend and I were having unprotected sex and he came in me. I didn't take the pill until 2 days later. I had every symptom. DO NOT GOOGLE ANYTHING you will convince yourself you are pregnant like I did, just remember even though the symptoms are the same they wouldn't show up so early and its just side effect of the pill. I was nauseous, cramping, weird discharge and about 4 or 5 days I had light spotting I thought was implantation bleeding. My period was late and at the same timeI started throwing up, I thought it was morning sickness. 2 weeks after my missed period I took a pregnancy test because they are most accurate 7+ days after your normal period and it was negative I was SO RELIEVED. Just now almost 3 1/2 weeks later I got my period. Just relax and don't think about it the pill definitely works"

"I had unprotected sex and I took the pill 30 hours later. I felt a bit drowsy within the first few hours, however over the next two weeks I experienced cramping. The cramps were really bad.10 days after taking the pill my breasts completely swelled. My nipples were always hard and the pain was unbearable. I was convinced I was pregnant. The cramps continued and I was experiencing back pain. Then the pain in my breasts finally began to subside and I got my period the next day, exactly when I was supposed to. It was a little bit heavier than usual but I've never been happier to be on my period. The pill messes up your body due to increase of hormones. I've read it makes you feel exactly as pregnant women do so don't panic over the symptoms!"

"If you're here reading these comments, that means you're a boy or girl in the same position I was: A mistake was made somewhere and you're concerned about pregnancy. The waiting is gruesome, but I'm here to assure you; this pill works. After ingesting the pill 16 hours after sex, a period of terrible waiting began. My girlfriend and I were both antsy and scared, and the time of her expected period came and went. She was 8 days late, but alas, she had it. This pill works in mysterious ways that can cause a later period, but I'm here to tell you there is nothing to worry about. It's scary, it's unsettling, but I'm here to tell you to calm down and relax because this pill will take care of everything."

"I just wanted to leave a review of my experience in case someone else is going through a similar situation. So I had unprotected sex with a guy the day after I had already ovulated. Of course I read that plan b isn’t really effective during ovulation or after so I freaked out. He pulled out but I was still nervous about possible pregnancy so the next day (about 16 hours later) I took the plan b pill. I had cramping here and there in both my stomach and lower back. Little bit of nausea a few days after taking it. I stressed myself out so much from googling symptoms and what not. I thought for sure I might be pregnant, but one day before my period was due I started spotting light and then I got more intense cramps and my period came strong right after. This pill DOES work! People will say it doesn’t during ovulation but I’ve read a lot of reviews on here and other women say the same thing. Keep your hopes up because your period will eventually come!!"

"Hello ladies. My experience with Plan B has been stressful to be truly honest. I have used this pill more than 5 times in my life. This year I used it like 3 weeks ago and I used just to be cautious because I was not ovulating, but I was 5 days away to ovulate, I took the pill after 42 hours and the side effects are awful. I have nausea, I feel tired, I have mild cramps and worst of all EXTREMELY SENSITIVE BREASTS!!!!! That got me thinking for the past 3 weeks that I was pregnant but my period has not arrived yet. I took a pregnancy test and the results are negative, I know that my period will eventually show up because it isn't the first time I have experienced this. Last time I had very few side effects and my period arrived 2 months late, so I guess this time it will also be awhile but this pill messes up your body big time."

"IT WORKS. I got my period one day late. I took it after 10 hours of the deed. I was on My 8th day of my menstrual cycle and 5 days before ovulation. However because I was afraid of risks I took it since my app said my fertile window started. I knew the pill was working because I got acne the day after on my chin (hormonal), cramps and sore boobs all next 3 weeks. Mood swings all over the place. I was scared so I took a blood test one day before my estimated period date and it came back negative. Two days after that my period arrived. I feel very tired and painful but I am happy to be out of this craziness. This page helped me a lot to not go crazy. I took plan B 4 times in my life and always worked. Sending you good vibes and peace of mind. You got this!"

"This has totally been the most stressful almost 2 weeks of my life. So me and my boyfriend were having sex and the condom broke but we didn’t realize that it broke until after he finished in me. I look at my flo period app and I was two days past the main ovulation day but still in my fertile window. I immediately started crying and panicking so the next day I went and got plan b. we then realized on google it says it won’t work if your already ovulation so I was even more freaked out. I didn’t have super extreme symptoms but my boobs were sore and I had horrible mood swings. Not having that many symptoms worried me a little bit but here we are I just got my period 12 days after I took the pill and one day earlier then expected. Just remember that everyone’s body is different and try not to google things even tho it’s almost impossible to do it will give you major anxiety. Best wishes to everyone going through similar things"

"I took this approximately 48 hours after unprotected sex while I was ovulating. I felt fine after taking the pill. A few days before my period was due I experienced major mood swings, bloating, cramps and sore breasts. These symptoms lasted the few days before I was due and then the symptoms stopped on the actual day I was due. But no period. Needless to say I was freaking out! (This is why I am writing this to help others from freaking) -- I was supposed to start on a Friday. Then Saturday rolls around, then Sunday and no period... Just really, really sore breasts on Sunday. That Monday evening I finally started and had breast tenderness, cramps, headache, tiredness... But atleast I started - 3 (longest days of my life) days late."

"I wanted to tell my story to all girls who are going through pregnancy scare.I had sex (WHILE OVULATING) with a guy I barely know and the condom broke and he inished inside me. I took plan b within an hour. I was nauseous for 3-4 days, wanted to puke, didn't ate at all due to stress, had to go to the toilet more and had light pain in abdominal. After maybe 5-6 days after plan b I had brown discharge which was more like medium period but it lasted for 3days. After 2weeks after intercourse my period should gave started but because of plan b I was sure it will come later than usual and exactly after 2weeks I got my period symptoms: severe breast pain, severe abdominal pain, mood swings. But after a week I got my period and it is sooo heavy like never before. So girls, don't stress like I did and just trust the pill, it really will do its job."

"I took the pill 2 days after having unprotected sex. My boyfriend came inside, so I was 100% sure I needed to take it. I took it 4 days after my period had ended. I am 5’0 & 95 pounds. I'm stating that because I think that played a big roll in the side affects I experienced. I started bleeding 5 days after taking the pill. I had cramps for over two weeks straight. My whole body ached & It made me fatigued. It was all severed. I threw up twice within the first 3 days. The pill did work. It made my next period 21 days late. The stress was real. Do not stress it works ! Just be aware that the dose is heavy & every body reacts differently to it."

"Yesterday my boyfriend had unprotected sex, we did two rounds with a 3 hour gap between the rounds. After the second round, like 15 mins later, I took a Plan B and call me crazy but the minute he came inside I just felt it in my soul that I was gonna be pregnant. I've been having side effects of the pill such as nausea, constipation, tiredness, cramps and pains. I'll be back in 3 weeks to update you all. ~ Avani"

"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."
