For Emergency Contraception "I used Next Choice One Dose. I took the pill 10 hours after. It made me so sleepy, and I was a bit dizzy. On the fifth day, I started with a bad headache, and the next day I started spotting. Now, today, I am proud to say I'm not pregnant! I was so paranoid when my period wasn't here. Now it is, I couldn't be happier. Just relax, girl, it works."

For Emergency Contraception "I took Next Choice One Dose 48 hours after unprotected sex. The sex was one day after my period ended. I was dizzy for several days after taking the pill. I had loss of appetite, but I think it was because I was worried about being pregnant. I had spotting 4 days after taking the pill, and the spotting was for 3 days. I had cramps the whole time I was spotting. I ended up getting my period a week before it was scheduled to start. My period normally lasts 6 or 7 days, but it was only 4 days after using this pill. It has now been a month since I used the pill, and I am not pregnant. I would not want to use emergency contraception again, I think I learned my lesson. If I had a friend in my situation, I would definitely recommend it."

For Emergency Contraception "My girlfriend took this the night after our condom broke. She took the pill about 12 hours later, and it prevented the pregnancy. She said it made her a little dizzy when she took it, but it's well worth the minor side effects."

For Emergency Contraception "I took the pill 12 hours later at night. I was so scared I was going to be pregnant because I could have sworn that I ovulated the day before. I felt that mini cramp. I have a period calendar, but my periods have been irregular, so I wasn't sure when I actually ovulated. The next day, I was a little dizzy. I didn't want to move around as much because I was scared I would throw up. This lasted for 2 days. In the end, I didn't get pregnant! My cycles are irregular and my last cycle length was 36 days. This one was 29."

For Emergency Contraception "I took Next Choice within 24 hours of unprotected sex. I have a 2-year-old already, and I am not financially able to have another child right now. After taking it, I felt fine, but 4 or 5 hours later, I was so sleepy. I dozed off all evening and went to bed early that night. It's been about 3 weeks since I've taken it, and I've been miserable! I've had stomach pains, nausea, and dizziness. 3 days afterwards, I was having chest pains. I started my period today, and although it's really light, I feel horrible. I'm nauseated and my stomach is cramping something awful. It also feels like I'm having vertigo. I recommend staying away from this pill, because even though it is extremely effective, I want to feel normal again."

For Emergency Contraception "The pill does a great job of preventing pregnancy just like Plan B will. I have taken this pill several times before, but this time, wow. This pill does a good job at mimicking pregnancy symptoms, but I am glad to say I am not pregnant. Had intercourse on January 6 but took the pill just in case of pre-ejaculate. My period was due January 22 but spotted earlier on January 15-18, brownish and then pink. I had real bad breast tenderness, dizziness, nausea, hot flashes, high blood pressure, headaches, backache, prominent veins on boobs and all over body, muscle spasms, cramps, but no period, slight fever. It is now March 13 and yet no period, the pill threw my cycle off real bad."

For Emergency Contraception "I'm known to be a little paranoid, but everything turned out just fine. Took the pill about 7 hours after sexual intercourse, experienced side effects such as headaches, dizziness, and spotting a week later. After 8 days of experiencing the side effects, I finally got my period. Definitely recommend it!"

For Emergency Contraception "My husband and I were intimate with no protection, but we're not ready for a baby right now. I took Next Choice within 2 hours. I was very nervous about taking it since I had been on birth control pills for 12 years up until 2 months ago. I didn't want to mess myself up now that I was hormone-free, but I didn't want to be pregnant yet. I took an ovulation test after, and of course, it was positive, so I freaked. I didn't have ANY side effects at all during the first day. I'm due to get my period in 4 days, and I've been dizzy, nauseous, cramping, and flushed all week, so I'm convinced I'm pregnant. I just took a test, and it's negative. :) I'm praying I'll get my period in a few days, if not, then I'll take another test and submit an update on whether it actually worked or not. So far, so good!"

For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex on Feb 1, 2015, around 4 p.m. 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 5:30 p.m. (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!"

For Emergency Contraception "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."

For Emergency Contraception "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."

For Emergency Contraception "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."

For Emergency Contraception "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?"

For Emergency Contraception "I promised myself I would write a review about this as all these reviews sometimes don't have the ending result, which scared me even more the more I read. I took the pills within 6 hours (the condom broke) on March 7. Don't take this until you're at home, as it made me feel nauseous and dizzy for about 24 hours. Take it and go to bed if you can. 4 days later, on the 11th of March, I had heavier spotting for 6 days! And then finally, on the 23rd, I got my period, which was 4 days early in my cycle, but it works! Don't stress too much about it if you take it soon enough!"
