"I can't wait to share my experience. June 2 - first day of my last menstruation. June 13 - we had unprotected sex. Intentionally, he didn't withdraw. We did it 3 times without withdrawing on that day. June 15 - I took Opcicon One-Step, 50 hours later after the first deed. June 17 & 18 - I had spotting. July 4 - finally menstruation. I was 6 days delayed on my period. I was nervous because my weight is 180 lbs. I had abdominal pain for several days and breast tenderness. I can hardly breathe every time I walk, I'm always tired and I had headaches. To everyone who is also waiting, just be patient and sleep well. And of course, lesson learned! NEVER AGAIN!!"

"I had unprotected sex on the 21st of August 2015. I had been tracking my period off of an app on my phone. When I checked to mark 'Intimate' for the day, I realized that it was my ovulation day. I panicked and told my bf to go get a Plan B pill, and instead, he came back 6 hours later with an Opcicon. I had never heard of it, I just took it out of fear of getting pregnant. Immediately, I began to feel nauseous, dizzy, and I had a horrible headache that lasted 3 days, cramping, and I wanted to just sleep for 3 days. Well, this is day 5, and I feel a lot better now. I am no longer having any side effects, however, I have become a little more hungry. I won't know if the Opcicon worked until I see my period, which is due on September 4th."

"I had unprotected sex March 20th and March 21st, went to buy Plan B, but they had run out, so I bought Opcicon One-Step, took it, and had all the side effects. At the end of March, I had a second period, I had it on the 12th and the last week of the month (I can't remember what day), and no period all month in April. I have been cramping, and warm body, throwing up, and tender boobs. I'm scared I could be pregnant - I have not taken a test yet, but will soon, and I'll let you know if the pill worked!!!"

"I had unprotected sex on May 28th. He ejaculated outside, but because we did it a couple of times, I freaked out. I took Opcicon One-Step 4-6 hours later and felt the side effects immediately. I was slightly nauseous, fatigued, had lower abdomen cramps, and bloated the first week. One week later (June 4th), I bled for 4 days, spotty with dark blood. I continued feeling bloated, indigestion, stomach cramps, sharp/dull pain in my nipples, and extreme mood swings from stress and hormones the entire month of June and the first week of July. My period for July was late, so I took over 10 pregnancy tests (all negative) over the course of 1 month, but I finally got it today! It's heavier than usual, and I didn't even feel it coming, but I'm not complaining!"
