For Emergency Contraception "So I had unprotected sex about four days before ovulation, so supposedly on one of the days I’m supposed to be fertile, and I took Option 2 about a couple of hours late (about 9 to 10). A couple of days later, I started bleeding that resembled my period (enough to fill up pads, and it was a dark brown color and sometimes became a light red color). It lasted about as long as my normal period. So it was like I was getting my period super early. Now it’s my period week, and it’s three days late. I’m going to take a pregnancy test now and see if I’m pregnant or not, but has anyone else experienced this heavy bleeding? If so, were you pregnant or not?"

For Emergency Contraception "I'm 5 days late for my period. I took a pregnancy test, it came out negative. A while ago, I used a Plan B after having unprotected sex and had some brown discharge and bleeding a week later. Will I get my period this month, and was that discharge my period or side effects?"

For Emergency Contraception "Option 2 is the best emergency contraceptive I have ever taken. I am one of those women who have terrible side effects on all regular birth control pills, and Option 2 is a peace of mind relief. I have tried Plan B before and had terrible nausea and bleeding. With Option 2, I have had zero nausea and a little diarrhea, but not much, it did not last long. Somewhat heavier periods but normal length and barely noticeable unless thinking hard about subtle changes."
