For Emergency Contraception "If you find yourself here reading these reviews, then you are probably going through the same as I recently was. I promised myself I would come here and tell my story if I got my period. I had sex on the very LAST day of my ovulation, and the condom had slipped off at some point. I had no idea when I took the My Way pill that the whole point of the pill was to slow down your ovulation, so I thought it was too late for me. I took it around 17 hours after it happened. No symptoms from this except sore breasts, but everybody’s body is different. My period was 3 days late, and finally came this morning. I cried. I'm not sure if the pill is what prevented the pregnancy or if I just got lucky, but I'm thankful I'm not pregnant. Try not to dwell on the thought you might be pregnant, it just causes unnecessary stress. Remember to try and stay positive even though it is hard. I have learned a big lesson from this experience, and I hope reading this brought you a little comfort because God knows I needed it"

For Emergency Contraception "I'm going to start this off by saying I was that girl who searched up every ache or pain I was having to see if it was a sign of pregnancy. I worried myself sick (I'm only 18 and leaving for my first year of college in a few weeks). I take regular birth control for acne, but I wasn't very consistent. I had sex for the first time with my boyfriend, and the condom broke, just our luck. Me being paranoid made him run out to the local pharmacy and buy My Way, and I took it within 4 hours of the incident. I had nausea for about a week, I was fatigued, my breasts were extremely sore after about 3 weeks, I had cramping and lower stomach pain. My period was about a week late, but I got it! RELAX. This pill works! Trust me!"

For Emergency Contraception "I had promised myself I would come back if I actually had something good to say about this pill, and here I am. I’m a minor and cannot afford a kid. I had done it on the last day of my fertility window, and unfortunately, having our protection fail on us wasn’t a good feeling. I took the pill right after, not realizing it didn’t work if you had already ovulated. I was stressed for days without even missing my period yet. My breasts were tender. I felt so lightheaded; I even started spotting. I really felt like my life was going to be over. But right on schedule, my period came! I don't know if it was the pill or not, but it still gave me some peace of mind."

For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex on Aug 6, 2018. My last period is July 31, 2018. I have a 28-30 day cycle each month. Lasted 6 days, but on the 7th day of my cycle, we had unprotected sex, he used withdrawal. Then, after 5 hours, I took My Way emergency contraceptives, but after a week of taking it, I had very little brown spotting and I feel lower abdominal cramping, and my breasts are sore. I also feel a little bit nauseated and always tired. I still have 2 weeks to wait for my period. My question is, is it normal to have a little bit of brown spotting? Am I pregnant for experiencing these signs and symptoms? Thanks."

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."
