"Well,I got liquor confidence and me and my man, 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 before but this time ,this was different. I keep track of periods, sex,etc. I was ovulating,when we slipped. I'm so concerned bc I'm 15 days late. No sign of period coming. My breast have bright blue veins. I'm lazy as hell. My head is killing me. I'm thinking, the pill didn't work. Pls,someone help me out with this."

"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 happen on January 21st that same day (January 21st) I took the next choice pill about and 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 then 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 counts like a real period? Or Is there chances I might be pregnant? Btw it was my first time using the brand next choice if somebody has gone through the same please let me Know! Thanks"

"It didn't work. I had just got 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. 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 how this product really didn't work for me!"

"I had unprotected sex on Feb 1, 2015 around 4pm. My periods have been irregular and at this time I haven't had my period in 3 months. The next day, I took the Next Choice One Dose pill at 5:30pm. (I took a pregnancy test before taking the Next Choice One Dose pill and the test was negative.) That week (2nd-7th), I experienced pain in my lower back, painful cramps, dizziness and headaches. On Feb 8, I got my period! It started off very heavy and got lighter at the end. During my period I experienced the regular period symptoms and PMS. The period lasted for 5 days. I recommend this medication because it is cheap and it works!"

"I am on the pill Trinessa but took an antibiotic, Cyprofloxacin, for a urinary tract infection a week before having sex with my boyfriend. He didn't use a condom and I heard that antibiotics can make the pill less effective so I was super paranoid and scared that I would get pregnant. So about 16 hours after sex I took Next Choice One Dose. Right after I took it I had a headache but that's it. Didn't have any other symptoms for several days after. Since I am on the pill I know exactly when I am supposed to get my period. I felt menstrual cramps and fatigue for a couple of days before the day my period was supposed to start. I had light bleeding and cramps on the day it was due. Relax & good luck"

"Me and my boyfriend had sex with a condom, but I got paranoid the condom broke because I didn't get a good look at it afterwards and took next choice two days later (the day I was supposed to get my period according to my app, but I knew I wasn't getting it that day, hence the paranoia). Had sore boobs throughout the week after, but I normally have sore boobs before my period so I don't think this was fully due to the pill. 5 days later I now have my period! Looking back I didn't need the pill probably but it helped me feel better."

"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 i had all the symptoms that was on the package . I was nauseous ,dizzy ,and felt week. 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 Nest choice even though the side effects can be a bother ,but you dont end p perog soo thats good.:)"

"My boyfriend and I had one too many drinks and we decided to have unprotected sex without using the pull out method! Well, I took the pill about 10 hours after for my very first time. I had no major side effects after taking the pill. After an hour or two of taking the pill I became very sleepy. I had my time of month a week earlier, and I was more hormonal than usual. I did not imagine the pill being a little expensive but I rate it a 10 because it worked and it is sure worth the cost."

"Hello everyone, 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 10pm (he jizzed inside of me) and let me tell you how truly scared I was! So I decide to take plan b pill the next morning however there was no plan b in stock so I had to settle for next choice 2 dose. Around 10am I swallowed BOTH .75mg 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 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 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."

"I just took it yesterday and I can barely walk from the sharp lower left hand side pain on my back. I haven't eaten anything and my boyfriend still thinks I'm pregnant. I hope I'm not. Next week I will take a test to see but overall I'm hoping this pill works for me."

"Had unprotected sex the day after my period ended. Took next choice one step 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."

"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."

"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 20hrs of intercourse. I experienced nausea, dizziness and fatigue for more than a week and on the 8th day I bleed not my usual amount of menstruation, it's not heavy, and only on the period of time, during at night there is no bleeding, and it's dark red or blackish, same on the second day, no bleeding during night time also and there's this clots. And on the 3rd day it's brownish and mostly clots. I'm so confused coz I still have 14days left before my period. Moreover I still feel tired until now and there is no more blood, and for some times I still feel nauseated. I'm hoping that I will have my period soon because this things that happening to me is driving me crazy."

"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!"

"It works , took it with 52 hours left. My period was due 3 days before hand. (It was my boyfriend birthday weekend. We both admit to never spend 4 days drinking like there no tomorrow again lol) It made my period 2 days late but It ran it course. Heavier than usually 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 been together for three years and we are not ready for a baby of any sort. But I would take again if had too,"

"Hi all- hoping to impart some peace of mind to anyone waiting for it to work. My boyfriend & I had sex on May 4th, last day of my period. He finished in a condom, then later went back inside me unprotected. He didn't finish the 2nd time, but I wanted to be extra careful. I took Plan B ~18 hours later. I had a withdrawal bleed five days later (May 11-12th) 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 & patience & don't be scared!"

"My name is Emily and I took Kroger's Next Choice morning after pill recently June 15th 71hrs 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 that 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 hrs. researching web links to find out the effectiveness of this pill & this was my result."

"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!"

"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!"

"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 and 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 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?) of the incident. I got my period 5 days early. My only side effects were headaches."
