For Emergency Contraception "This feels horrible. I had unprotected sex 4 days before my ovulation day. When ovulation day came, I had brown discharge and thought it was nothing, then bled through 4 tampons in less than 3 hours, and TMI, but it was really dark and then bright red. I’ve had horrible cramping ever since and really bad back pain to the point that it hurts to do anything. It’s been 8 days since I took the pill, and I still just feel horrible. I had never taken one before this, so I didn’t know what to expect. I’ll give an update when my period decides to come or not."

For Emergency Contraception "Pretty much 2 days after my expected ovulation day, I had unprotected sex, and he came in me one time. 10 minutes later, he got me this emergency contraceptive, and we tend to go for the cheaper ones since they work the same. This one, however, I have not used, and my regular pharmacy I got my regular contraceptive one from was closed. He went to Rite Aid, bought it, and came back. Of course, we had more unprotected sex before I took the pill, and he made sure to pull out. After we were finished, I took the pill, and that was it. A week and 3 days later, I got my period! I was so anxious it may not have worked since I had already ovulated, but I have had experiences like these where I have already ovulated, and my contraceptive usually works. Will purchase again, also don’t worry if you have any symptoms, it’s normal. My symptoms were: headache, mood swings, cramping, and a tad bit of nausea, but not bad nausea at all."

For Emergency Contraception "After unprotected sex with my boyfriend, we got Option 2 since it was a bit cheaper than Plan B. A few hours later, I get hit with the worst cramps and constantly need to go to the bathroom. I’m praying this pill works unlike half these reviews say."
