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 "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 "Did not work!!! I used it a couple hours after the incident, and two weeks later I was spotting, thinking it was my period, but it never really came. I’m still spotting almost a month later, and the pregnancy test came out positive!!"

For Emergency Contraception "All I can say is relax, ladies! It has over a 95% success rate. I had unprotected sex while I was ovulating and took the pill about 10 hours later. No side effects whatsoever for almost 2 weeks (Mind you, I'm well above the 'weight limit' for the pill). Then, my boobs started hurting so bad I couldn't bear it. I even had some spotting, which freaked me out! It really messes with you, but in the end, I got my period! The longest 3 weeks, but it worked!"

For Emergency Contraception "Ladies, calm down!! It will be okay!! I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on February 17. The next day, within the 24-hour period, I got My Way. I had very bad back pains and abdominal pains. That lasted a few days. The next day I took My Way, I had some spotting. I was expecting my period on February 25, but I didn't get it until today! I was so stressed out I even took a test. Ladies, your period may be late. It's normal. Don't worry. You'll be okay!! Such a weight off of my shoulders."

For Emergency Contraception "Had period July 9-14, unprotected sex on the 25th (supposed to be ovulating). Bought the pill and took it within 3 hours. Didn't notice any symptoms. Anyway, supposed to get my period August 8, but it never came. I was freaking out because I had spotting and pain on my right side. Bf convinced me to be patient and wait. Ten days later, I got my period with the worst cramps ever! Will take a test soon just to be extra sure, but I'm glad this worked when I had my doubts, especially during ovulation."

For Emergency Contraception "This is our story with the My Way pill. You are probably looking for a review that is worth reading, right? Don't worry, I tell you that my girlfriend and I had unprotected sex due to the condom breaking, and I finished inside her. It was before her ovulation phase, since sperm can live 5 days inside. I was so scared, I was nowhere near being a father. I'm only 19, going to college. The next day, we bought the My Way pill since it was cheaper before the 24-hour window. It was a month of hellish waiting for her period, but I trusted the pill. In her month, she showed no signs, no spotting, no dizziness, and no common side effects that My Way users might experience. After a month, we got scared because her period did not come on the exact date she was told to by our app. She was delayed for 4 days and experienced a heavy flow. It was a hellish month, but trust the pill. Research its symptoms and effectiveness. I recommend keeping track of your ovulation phase too, to help prevent pregnancy. TRUST THE PILL! Try not to stress!"

For Emergency Contraception "I had spontaneous unprotected sex with my child's father. I took the pill less than 20 hours after sex and found that I was spotting about a week later, and my breasts were swollen. I never spot and never for just a day, so I knew I was pregnant because of the experience with my daughter. I waited 2-3 more weeks and no period. I'm currently not pregnant because I took dong quai and vitamin C."
