For Emergency Contraception "I took this pill 2 hours after unprotected sex. When I checked my calendar, I saw that I was ovulating (on the exact day when an egg was released! which was very unfortunate because I was at my most fertile). Of course, seeing Google telling me that Plan B doesn’t work during ovulation scared me. I kept overthinking and worrying since I was not really at the right age to be getting pregnant. I drank more vitamin C since it is known to help get my period. The side effects of Plan B for me were more acne, fatigue, cravings, and mood swings. However, it does work and I got my period exactly one week after (it was early by 8 days). The cons are that my period is heavier and more painful (I rarely get severe cramps). To all the ladies, do not search Google because it will only worry you more. Just take the pill as early as you can and don’t think twice"

For Emergency Contraception "I normally don’t write on these forums, but I have to share my experience. I had unprotected sex 5 days before my period came, and I took it minutes after the incident. I’m currently 5’4" and 143 lbs. I was nervous because it was my first time taking My Way. Close to my period, I kept getting period symptoms like headache, acne, fuller and tender breasts, etc. 1 day past, 2 days, 3 days. At this point, I was freaking out. I just decided to forget about it and face reality-whatever happens, happens. Guess what? FIVE DAYS LATER AND IT'S FINALLY HERE. Once you follow the instructions, don’t be worried. Even though it’s cheap, it definitely works-no need to freak out. As far as symptoms after the drugs, I didn’t have any."

For Emergency Contraception "My story starts out the same as many, but I was having sex with my boyfriend and somehow the condom slipped off (and actually got stuck inside me, ew) and I'm not on birth control. My boyfriend did not cum inside me, but pre-cum is a real thing and there was no way I was taking any risks, both of us being 18 and definitely not ready for a kid. So we went to the drug store and got the generic brand, and I ended up taking it about two hours after. No dramatic symptoms really, just some headaches, fatigue, bloating, and breaking out. When I took My Way, I was due for my period for another two weeks, and believe me, those were the most nerve-wracking two weeks of my life. But this morning I FINALLY got my long-awaited period and I feel so relieved."
