"I promised myself I would write a review on Next Choice - even if it worked or not. And now I'm here to share my experience. So I had unprotected sex Wednesday night around 10 pm (he jizzed inside of me), and let me tell you how truly scared I was! So I decided to take the Plan B pill the next morning, however, there was no Plan B in stock, so I had to settle for Next Choice One Dose. Around 10 am, I swallowed BOTH .75 mg pills with some water and a McDonald's breakfast sandwich. So hours went by, and I didn't feel a single side effect. Surprisingly. However, the next day or two, I started to feel nauseous randomly and got frequent headaches. I never had any other problems. Today is Friday, and I just got my period. Just be patient, my loves!"

"I took this pill the same day after unprotected sex and was told that I would have horrible side effects, and this was my first time ever taking an emergency contraceptive pill. After I took it, I kept waiting to feel pain, but I had no side effects at all, which made me very happy. I'm going to take a test in the next week or two to see if it worked."

"So I had unprotected sex about a week ago. The same day I was very worried and took Next Choice. I was very worried the whole time. The next day I woke up and I had all the symptoms that were on the package. I was nauseous, dizzy, and felt weak. About 3 days later I realized some bleeding. I was still unsure if I was prego or not. Today the bleeding was more severe. I did some more research and read that if there is bleeding then you are not prego. So I do recommend Next Choice even though the side effects can be a bother, but you don't end up prego, so that's good."

"I was supposed to get my period on Sunday, had unprotected sex but used the pull-out method the following day (Monday). Same thing happened on that same week on Thursday. Period was 6 days late at that point & decided to take the pill. Took the pill that next day (Friday). Still no period, took a pregnancy test (Saturday) that came out negative. After taking the pill, I kept cramping and having leg pain but no period. Finally got my period, which ended up being 12 days late. Pill did what it's supposed to do. Definitely experienced all the side effects directed, which is okay."

"I had my period on January 16-20, and I had unprotected sex, but also used a condom when he was about to come. This happened on January 21st. That same day (January 21st), I took the Next Choice pill about an hour after sex. Then, a week later, on January 27th, I started spotting. It only lasted 4 days, it wasn't normal because it was much lighter than my normal period. Today is February 23rd, and my period is two days late. I'm just wondering if it's the pill that is making my period be late, or does the light period/spotting count as a real period? Or are there chances I might be pregnant? By the way, it was my first time using the brand Next Choice. If somebody has gone through the same, please let me know! Thanks."

"I took Next Choice Plan B after the condom broke with my boyfriend near my time of ovulation. I promised myself I'd write a review on this site for nervous and concerned women/girls who would read this later on. First thing is to NOT panic! You've done all you can by now by taking Plan B, so all you have to do now is rest well and eat well. Second, this is a drug review site, and there's obviously some sampling bias because people who have the side effects of a drug are going to review/rant about it. You may experience some or none of these, but it won't be life-threatening, so keep calm! Personally, I didn't experience many side effects besides some minor stomach pains after I took it. In the end, my period came a week early, which is expected."

"Four days after my period ended, I decided to have intercourse for the first time. As my luck would have it, I hadn't taken my birth control in 5 days due to my prescription running out, and the condom broke. Three hours later found me at my local Farm Fresh asking for Plan B (they gave me Next Choice instead). I took it and freaked out for six days. On the seventh day, I got my period again. The bleeding was really heavy, and the cramps were terrible, but I was ecstatic. Oh, and I weigh 178. It worked wonderfully. Best $40 I've ever spent."

"It didn't work. I had just gotten off the pill, and it was exactly 14 days after the start of my period, and I knew I was ovulating. I had been having baby fever, and he wasn't, so the next morning we went to the pharmacy, and I took the pill. A few weeks later, I found out I was pregnant. I know the pregnancy was a result of that time and that the pill didn't work because that was the only time we had sex during that time frame. Nevertheless, I'm just sharing my story of how this product really didn't work for me!"

"Hoping to impart some peace of mind to anyone waiting for it to work. My boyfriend and I had sex on May 4th, the last day of my period. He finished in a condom, then later went back inside me unprotected. He didn't finish the second time, but I wanted to be extra careful. I took Plan B about 18 hours later. I had a withdrawal bleed five days later (May 11-12) that lasted 2 days, and was supposed to get my period on the 27th - it came today, 6 days late, on June 1st (stress/jetlag may be to blame). Some bad side effects - depression, mood swings, thick white discharge, headaches, fatigue. I'd urge you to keep track of your cycle for added reassurance in these situations (know your fertile window, etc.). Sending peace and patience and don't be scared!"

"I had unprotected sex three days before ovulation and took this within four hours after having sex. After reading some of the reviews, I was a little wary of how well it would work. I ended up experiencing my normal ovulation symptoms as well, which made me even more worried as this pill is supposed to prevent ovulation. I didn't experience any side effects (no headaches, nausea, etc.), but I did have some cramping that began about four days after I took it and continued off and on for about a week. My period ended up coming today, which is three days before I expected it. Give it time and try not to worry!"

"Had unprotected sex the day after my period ended. Took Next Choice One Dose about 2.5 days later. Experienced a little nausea the next day and fatigue. Five days after I took Next Choice, I started heavy bleeding for a day and light spotting for a few more. I am currently 2 days late for my period, but I took a test, and it was negative. Fingers crossed that I'm just going to get my period late."

"It works, took it with 52 hours left. My period was due 3 days beforehand. (It was my boyfriend's birthday weekend. We both admit to never spending 4 days drinking like there’s no tomorrow again lol.) It made my period 2 days late, but it ran its course. Heavier than usual, and I felt shitty for a few days, but a really great reminder of don't be stupid. My period is off, and that was three weeks ago. So it works. The side effects weren't too bad and totally worth it vs. being knocked up before we are ready. Again, this will be my first and our last time having unprotected sex. We've been together for three years, and we are not ready for a baby of any sort. But I would take it again if I had to."

"Thank the gods. We're not pregnant. I'm not sure if it's fair to credit this pill with saving us, because our incident happened approximately 2 days after ovulation. Nevertheless, we're saved. She experienced 2-3 days of brown discharge/spotting, which can be a sign of pregnancy (panic), but then, sure enough, her period came around on time. We're fine!"

"Well, I got liquor confidence, and my man and I weren't thinking about the gloves. So, on Dec 28th, I had a slip-up. I have difficulty getting pregnant, so I wasn't too concerned. We are grown. We know what comes from sex. So continuing, it's now Jan 9th, still no period. I took the pill on the 31st. Ok, now I've read different opinions and outlooks. Some started before their original period or late too. But typically before. I've used it before, but this time, this was different. I keep track of periods, sex, etc. I was ovulating when we slipped. I'm so concerned because I'm 15 days late. No sign of a period coming. My breasts have bright blue veins. I'm lazy as hell. My head is killing me. I'm thinking the pill didn't work. Please, someone help me out with this."

"My boyfriend and I had always used condoms. I was not on the pill and relied on them heavily. Unfortunately for us, one day the condom had ripped and neither of us had noticed. It was only after that we realized that he had ejaculated inside of me as well. Being in a state of panic, we drove straight to get Plan B. Our pharmacist recommended 'Next Choice' to us, and I had taken it within one hour of having sex. The side effects for me personally weren't all that bad. I had headaches throughout the month and the occasional cramping, but none of that compared to the paranoia! Safe to say that I had received my period one week earlier than expected and am now on birth control just to be extra cautious! Be safe and try not to stress yourself out!"

"I developed a rash over my ovaries after taking this and abdominal pain. Also, a period that lasted a few days longer than normal. The rash has been there over a week and hasn't improved. I would recommend Plan B over Next Choice any day. The pharmacy only had Next Choice when I was there. It was my first time taking it. I've never had problems with Plan B. But at least I'm not pregnant."

"I took this since I am not on birth control yet and just recently had my baby (5 weeks ago). This pill has way worse side effects than Plan B. This pill has me emotional, crying within minutes, and gave me a migraine minutes after that. A few hours later, I woke up with extreme cramping in my lower back and abdomen for hours. I was up in pain. I would never take this again."

"I had unprotected sex with my bf last January 1, and he's pretty sure he didn't come inside me. However, to make sure, we decided to take this drug (Next Choice) after 20 hrs of intercourse. I experienced nausea, dizziness, and fatigue for more than a week, and on the 8th day, I bled, not my usual amount of menstruation. It's not heavy and only during the time, at night there is no bleeding, and it's dark red or blackish, same on the second day, no bleeding during nighttime also, and there's these clots. And on the 3rd day, it's brownish and mostly clots. I'm so confused because I still have 14 days left before my period. Moreover, I still feel tired until now, and there is no more blood, and sometimes I still feel nauseated. I'm hoping that I will have my period soon because these things that are happening to me are driving me crazy."

"I had intercourse with my hubby for 10 years, and we have 3 children already, 2 of which were from a previous relationship and one of our own. We did not want any more children at this point in our lives. We had sex at 3-4 a.m. At 10 a.m., I was already at the pharmacy picking up Next Choice and took it in the car with a bottle of water. 4 days later it happened again, so again within hours I took the Next Choice. Upon Googling what happens if you take 2 within a month's cycle, it looked like everything was okay. When I took the pills, I did not have bleeding at either time, it wasn't till about a week later my boobs got sore and I had back and leg pain and pinching-like cramps. I thought a heavy period was coming, but it didn't, and I'm pregnant."

"This pill gets the job done in preventing pregnancy, but the hormones made my body crazy. I took this January 6 with no symptoms until a week later. I had high blood pressure, really bad dizziness, nausea, hot flashes, a slight fever, and really bad breast tenderness. I spotted from Jan 15-18, at first, it was brown, then a small amount of blood, but not enough to fill up a pad. I thought this was my period, but soon after the spotting stopped, my breasts became so sore and big. I had prominent veins on my breasts and all over my body as if I was pregnant, backaches, insomnia, anxiety, depression, small cramps in my abdomen, and all over body cramps. My period was supposed to start Jan 22, but it never arrived. It is now March 13, and still no period."

"I had protected sex, but the condom broke. I didn't know until I saw a piece of the condom 24 hours later. I took Next Choice about 12 hours later (36 hours?) after the incident. I got my period 5 days early. My only side effects were headaches."

"Ok, so I ended up having unprotected sex on September 23rd. The guy finished in me, and I went immediately and got the pill and took it. Probably 30 mins or so after. I was really moody for a few weeks and had extremely sore breasts. I was due to start my period on October 14th, and it’s now the 23rd, and it still hasn’t come. 9 days late. I’m freaking out a little because I don’t even feel like I’m gonna start. I usually can tell a few days before because I have horrible lower back pain. Really hoping the pill worked. If I don’t start soon, I’m gonna take a test, but I’m curious if anyone else ended up getting pregnant even after taking it?"

"I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend a week ago from today. He did not cum in me. I took the pill right after I had sex. The night right after that, we had sex one more time, but he did not cum in me. I hear that you can get pregnant from precum if there are any leftover sperm cells in there. But you can flush any of that away when you pee. So he peed before that just in case. Four days later, I get an unusual period where the blood is less thick, though there are clots. I am having bad headaches every now and then, terrible cramps, dizziness, nausea, and tiredness. And today I had terrible back pain, which scares me a lot. The bleeding is only a little, and it is now really dark brown. I am really worried at this point. Am I okay?"

"I took Kroger's Next Choice morning-after pill recently, June 15th, 71 hours after unprotected sex on May 12, the day I ovulated. Yesterday was June 29th, and I have a positive pregnancy test. Even though I have mixed feelings about this pregnancy, I can tell you that this pill was not effective in preventing fertilization of sperm meets egg in my case. The only morning-after pill that I can say has worked for me in the past was Plan B. Ladies, if there's ever any doubt, go with a name brand or talk with your doctor. I've wasted many hours researching web links to find out the effectiveness of this pill, and this was my result."

"I took the pill the next morning, and I thought it would take care of the accident, and I didn't have sex anymore. I still got pregnant. The sad thing is that this is the 3rd time I got pregnant even after taking the morning-after pill. Girls, just take care of yourselves."
