For Emergency Contraception "I did it 13 days before my period and did it on my most fertile day. I got scared, and 15 minutes later took the pill. The symptoms were feeling nauseous, but that’s it. My symptoms weren’t bad, just that, and then afterwards I was stressing out thinking it might not have worked. A week went by, and then as I got closer to my period date, I got more worried. Two weeks went by, and August 26 came around, and my period didn’t come. I started to get worried, then I said, ok, I’m not going to stress it and give it a few days. Then the next day I didn’t get my period in the afternoon, then 8 pm rolls around, and I feel a drip, go to the bathroom, and got my period. I’m so grateful it worked!!! Just don’t stress it, the pill messes up your cycle."

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 "I bought this for my first time, protected, and took it a day later just to be extra cautious. I'm lucky to have a pretty painless cycle and never experienced any side effects like spotting, nausea, irregular discharge, or, you know, pregnancy. I do understand that's not the case for everyone, though, so still take precaution and read other reviews."

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."

For Emergency Contraception "An hour and a half after taking this Option 2 pill, I felt very nauseous. Spent the next 25 minutes on the toilet with diarrhea and feeling like I was going to throw up as well. Would not recommend."
