For Emergency Contraception "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 approximately 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 effects. 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 back to get birth control soon!"

For Emergency Contraception "I had sex the day before ovulating and the day of ovulation. My boyfriend ejaculated in me on both days. I had to take a Plan B on both days. The pills work. My only symptom was sore breasts and I got my cycle on time. Please trust the pill and don’t believe that it doesn’t work during ovulation because it does!! I was up stressed till my cycle came and it came on time."

For Emergency Contraception "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 implantation bleeding). I was also sick to my stomach, and my boobs hurt. After several pregnancy tests and being a week late, I finally got my period. The wait almost literally had me on edge, but I was never so glad to get my period. Never again taking this chance. Please try to stay calm and trust the pill and the process. I took this pill literally during ovulation, and it still worked. Very effective. Just remember everyone's body reacts differently to the hormones."

For Emergency Contraception "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 pre-cum 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."

For Emergency Contraception "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!"

For Emergency Contraception "You’re probably scrolling right now super anxious and stressed, so I say calm down and let the pill work its 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 the pulling out method 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 (about 20 minutes 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 breasts, and a rise in temperature. Another 4 days and cramping arrived, I saw spotting (like literal red dots) on the 4th day, and that definitely made me panic, but the next day I saw clots and regular flow. Symptoms were awful, but it did its job, and that’s all that matters."

For Emergency Contraception "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!"

For Emergency Contraception "So as in my last post, I had sex on the day of ovulation according to my period tracker and my guy came inside me. Well, I got up and went and got a Plan B 30 mins after, and for about 2 weeks after, I felt all of being pregnant, bad nausea, back pain, hungry and tired. But here I am now, and my period came on yesterday. It started spotting at first, and now it's gone crazy, but hey, I'll take this over being prego! Either it was my time to get pregnant or the Pill really works!"

For Birth Control "I had the Mirena placed three months ago. The insertion was painful. I won’t fabricate that, but it only lasted at most 12 seconds and it was over. I took both Tylenol and Advil before my appointment, and that seemed to help a bit. The more uncomfortable/painful cramping lasted less than 24 hours after my appointment. I took the day off of work, which I am glad I did. The first 2/3 weeks after I had it placed, I had no bleeding or spotting. I had medium spotting for 2 months on and off after. I usually wore a liner. Bleeding lasted a few days and would be inconsistent. The third month, the spotting was extremely light and would occur 1-2x per week. My hormones seem to be well balanced. I experienced some neck acne for the first 2 months, but that did subside. I haven’t gained or lost any weight. My sex drive is unchanged. I’ve read plenty of horror stories on the internet regarding this method, so I thought I would throw in a positive one."

For Emergency Contraception "I promised myself I would share my experience! And guess what, it did work for me and I was close to ovulation! My period was supposed 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 on 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❤️"

For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex last month on the 26th at 12 AM 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 Plan B, and I took it right away. I was really anxious. I had a few symptoms. The first day it made me really sleepy. A week after I took it, the symptoms continued. I had mild cramps, felt bloated, and had mood swings. The waiting game was hard, seeing if my period was going to show up on time. Now today, my period started a day early, I was supposed to get my period on June 8th. I've never been so happy to see blood! I’ve seen a lot of people say the pill won’t work if you’re ovulating but that’s not true, so don't stress yourself out, the pill will work."

For Emergency Contraception "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."

For Birth Control "I have seen a ton of 10-star reviews from girls who made the review a week after getting it inserted. Please give it more time until you leave a review because the side effects come in the long term. I had the Kyleena for 2 years, and at first, I convinced myself I loved it, but I was so wrong. The insertion was god-awful and inhumane. After insertion, I had my period for 90 days straight. A few months went by, and I loved the IUD, but then the real side effects started coming. I became extremely irritable, had terrible mood swings, and had suicidal thoughts. I became depressed, had horrible insomnia, had trouble concentrating, and really bad brain fog. I gained a lot of weight despite eating the same amount, and my boobs grew 2 sizes, and when I got the IUD, they deflated, and now look horrible. I got an ovarian cyst, had bacterial vaginosis, uterine spasms, and cramps so bad I would scream. The doctor cut my strings too short, so I had to pay $3000 out of pocket to get it surgically removed."

For Emergency Contraception "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 favor. It can be really disheartening to read a bad review where the pill doesn’t work. However, don’t forget that for the 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"

For Birth Control "I'm 27 years old and the mother of two boys. I had the Mirena inserted one and a half years ago. The insertion was fine, mild cramping, but for the last year and a half I have experienced depression, bad acne, weight gain of about ten kilos, mood swings. Six months ago once my periods stopped altogether the symptoms got worse. I began having stomach cramps, nausea on most days, painful breasts and diminished libido and when it was supposed to be that time of the month my abdomen would bloat. I had Mirena removed last week and feel like a new person. I'm already losing weight and all the other symptoms have vanished."

For Birth Control "Just wanted to share my experience because I think it is really important to add that more often than not people post negative reviews rather than positive because they find it more necessary. Nothing wrong with that, it's just the reason I am posting my review. Please, if you are considering birth control, talk with your healthcare provider about what is best for your individual needs. Anyways, I got the Mirena about 2 and a half years ago, and I have NEVER looked back. I recommend it to all of my girlfriends. Yes, there is some discomfort upon insertion, but I haven't had my period in 2 and a half years! The amount of money and time and, honestly, just stress and emotions that I've saved make up for it tenfold. I also did not gain weight, didn't get acne, and just overall have forgotten I've even had it. No period and no unwanted pregnancy with no side effects, I really couldn't think of a better scenario. I highly recommend if it's something you've been considering."

For Birth Control "Date Placed: 04/18 Today's Date: 9/12. Still experiencing NEVER-ENDING SPOTTING. When it was first placed, everything was normal for a month, but then I got a REALLY HEAVY FLOW for about 3 weeks and had to use Super Plus tampons. Once that finally stopped, I had no bleeding for maybe two weeks. Now, here I am with the BROWNISH REDDISH DISCHARGE. Has anyone else experienced any of these things?"

For Emergency Contraception "I am a teen, and if you are one too, you might want to read this if you're stressing and want to know how this works. I had sex with my boyfriend, he came in me with no condom. We bought Aftera about 1 hour later. My boobs were sore for about two weeks, it first started the day after I had taken the pill. The pain may get really bad, but just breathe and relax, it's a side effect. I got cramps here and there, but it would feel like a little kick to my stomach. Then I had spotting for one day. I thought I was pregnant because of the dark color, but that is also a side effect. Just breathe and let the pill do its work. Plan B and Aftera are the same thing, same ingredients. Don't dig through every website trying to see if you're pregnant or not, it's okay."

For Emergency Contraception "Long story short, I had unprotected 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."

For Emergency Contraception "Okay, I promised myself that I would do a review once I started my period to calm some of you ladies who are freaking right now. I took the pill probably about 45 minutes after unprotected sex. A week later I started spotting, so of course, I was freaking out thinking it wasn’t my period. It was very light spotting, but my cramps were AWFUL! I was shaking, they were so bad. The bleeding lasted 5 days, so I was hoping it was my period. A few days later, I experienced every pregnancy symptom in the book.. headaches, nausea, exhaustion, sore boobs/nipples, weight gain, cravings. You name it! It felt like the most stressful few months of my life.. this month I was 6 days late on my period and FINALLY started! This pill does have side effects for some people! Not all.. but! If you take it before 72 hours, I promise it works! You’ll be okay, I promise.❤️"

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I had the Mirena put in Aug 13, 2019... spotted every day for about a month, finally had a period but very lightly. Ruined my sex life, constantly bleeding and smell of old blood. Days I wasn’t spotting when having sex, made me realize that old blood was sitting in my cervix which cause me to smell during sex. Finally got it removed yesterday and just want my body to get back to the way that it was... I would rather deal with my period than to not know when I’m gonna bleed or having continuous spotting and a horrible sex life. One day after removal I’m bleeding like a normal period so hopefully that will clear everything up. I would never put in another Mirena."

For Emergency Contraception "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, around 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. It's just a side effect of the pill. I was nauseous, cramping, had weird discharge, and about 4 or 5 days later, I had light spotting that I thought was implantation bleeding. My period was late, and at the same time, I started throwing up, I thought it was morning sickness. Two 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."

For Emergency Contraception "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."

For Emergency Contraception "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, to be honest, but I just got my period on day 31 of my cycle. DON'T STRESS!!!"

For Emergency Contraception "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 an increase in hormones. I've read it makes you feel exactly as pregnant women do, so don't panic over the symptoms!"
