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 had unprotected sex on Nov 28. I took the pill 12 hours later. I was just sleepy. No pain for me. I had my period before, which was Nov 23, so I had to wait. My period was 5 days late, so I took pregnancy tests, and they came out negative. 10 days late, and I finally got my period!"

For Emergency Contraception "My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex about 10 days into my cycle. I took Next Choice One Dose about 12 hours later. I had no side effects, maybe a little sleepy. About 6 days later, I woke up with cramps and a light period that turned into a normal period-13 days before I was supposed to get it. I did freak out a little because my periods are always on schedule, but I did get my period again when I was supposed to, and I didn't get pregnant. So despite the unwanted mini period, this medicine did what it was supposed to, and I had no bad side effects (I have taken the two-dose pills before and had a few negative side effects). It was a little pricey, but it's absolutely worth not having a baby."

For Emergency Contraception "Had protected sex, but the condom broke. Within an hour or two, I went to Walgreens, got Next Choice, took the pill, felt sleepy about 30 minutes after taking it. A couple of headaches after, but no major side effects, had one day of spotting but nothing else. Started getting worried maybe it didn't work. On January 5, finally got my period. Next Choice works, just say calm and let the rest fall in place."

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 "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."
