For Emergency Contraception "I took the Take Action pill last year, and I didn't research it or anything. I was really scared it wasn't going to be effective. My husband got it for me. I'm happy to say this pill didn't really have any scary or painful side effects, the only thing I felt was maybe little cramps, breast pain, and that was it. I got my period 3 days after when I was supposed to get it, even though this pill is only effective during 72 hours (3 days). I took it the 4th day, and everything felt normal. I took the Take Action pill last year, July 4, 2014. I have recently taken it again 2 weeks ago, and I've so far just had headaches and breast pain."

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 "My boyfriend and I had sex with a condom, but I got paranoid the condom broke because I didn't get a good look at it afterward 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. Five days later, I now have my period! Looking back, I didn't need the pill probably, but it helped me feel better."

For Emergency Contraception "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."

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 "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?"
