For Emergency Contraception "So I had unprotected sex July 16 (around 12 that night), went and got the EC (My Way) once I got off work at 3:30! Took the pill, and a week later, on the 23, I started to bleed. It had a regular flow as if I was on my period, the bleeding only lasted about 5 days, so I made an appointment with my doctor to get an exam because I thought it was a bit unusual for me to bleed twice in one month, and out of all the times I took it, I have NEVER had this happen to me before. I went and got my exam, she went in to scrape my cervix. She said that I still had some spotting (although I haven’t seen any bleeding in days). I’m leaving my review because I’m not sure if someone else may have experienced the same thing or maybe I have a deeper issue, but I definitely WOULDN’T recommend taking any type of Plan B pills! Ever since I’ve taken one, my body hasn’t been the same, and I’m not going to lie, I am getting scared at this point because I don’t know what’s going on!"

For Emergency Contraception "TMI: Took MyWay pill less than 48 hours after 'slip-up.' I had already had my period this month (July 5th-9th). Slip-up happened on July 13th, and I was NOT ovulating. Got a second 'period' for lack of a better word that started July 19th as light brown bleeding. Thought nothing of it at first, but now it's been 2 weeks! Mix of brown and red bleeding with clumps and stringiness. It is now July 31st, and I'm STILL bleeding with god-awful cramping multiple times DAILY. There is NOTHING about this on the label, and it is not disclosed in any way unless you read the negative reviews customers have left on here. I highly do NOT recommend this product as I am going to the hospital tomorrow to find out what the heck this pill did to me and my body."

For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex during my ovulation period, and I waited at least two and a half days before I took this pill (so not recommended, the earlier, the better apparently), but not pregnant. But the side effects are horrible, I never cramp during my cycle. It made me cramp, heavy bleeding, just different, and it’s been about three months since I took this pill, and my period is just not the same."

For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex and took this about 3 hours afterwards. I was so scared for so long! I had about two days of light bleeding a week before my period was supposed to come. I was afraid it was implantation bleeding! But it wasn't! Hallelujah!!! The pill definitely mucked up my cycles for a while. My next period didn't come for two months. Anyway, if you are freaking out about the possibility of being pregnant, take a breath. I know how scary it is. It is absolutely terrifying. But this pill works! You are going to be okay!"

For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex two days after my period ended. I took the Plan B within 12 hours. Two days later, I started bleeding lightly, and it lasted 3-4 days. I didn't think this was a normal period, so I still expected to get mine at the normal time. I didn't come. I freaked out. I was one week late and decided to take a pregnancy test. Negative! That same night, I started my period. Maybe the light bleeding was the Plan B working and it reset my cycle because, 28 days after that, I got my period. I'm now on birth control. No kiddos for me, thank you very much. Thanks, Plan B!!"

For Emergency Contraception "Sharing my experience with this drug. This was my first time, and I took it last Dec 10, had some bleeding 7 days later - not sure if it was a period, but I think it's just bleeding from the pill since it was not as long as my regular period. I took a pregnancy test a week after that, and came out negative. I was supposed to get my period on the 27th, but it didn’t come. 4 weeks later, I still don’t have my period. Because of the stress, I’ve been taking weekly pregnancy tests which were all negative results. I didn't get the worst symptoms, but I did notice my breasts got swollen, my stomach was bloated, and slight cramps. Thankfully, yesterday (Jan 23, 11 p.m.), I got my period! I waited until today to make sure if it's my period and not just bleeding. The flow is very different and even the color of blood. So yeah, I do recommend, but if you are sexually active, highly recommended to have a birth control plan. For anyone reading this, hopefully, you'll be fine!"
