For Emergency Contraception "I took the pill 20 or so hours after unprotected sex, and when I woke up in the morning, I had almost immediate results. I woke up with lower abdominal pains (which is normal) and went about my daily routine. I started to experience a great amount of fatigue, and I really honestly just wanted to sleep the whole day. I am telling you, the side effects are not too bad. Although, I missed my period. After I missed my period, I began panicking, but today I got my period! All is well, please do not stress out if you haven't gotten your period. Mine was 4 days late, but this pill really works, and it is worth the 50 or so dollars! :)"

For Emergency Contraception "I took this one hour after unprotected sex, and I am not pregnant! It was in the middle of my cycle, so I was very worried I would conceive, but the medicine thankfully worked. I have had a lot of bad side effects (nausea, fatigue, early period lasting 2 weeks), but I will take those over pregnancy. Overall, happy with it."

For Emergency Contraception "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!"

For Emergency Contraception "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."

For Emergency Contraception "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."

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."
