For Emergency Contraception "So I took Plan B 30 mins after a slip-up. It's a week later, and I'm having mild cramping and a little nausea. Is this normal? It was also my ovulation date according to my period tracker. I pray I'm safe. My period is due in 6 days."

For Emergency Contraception "I have officially never been so stressed out in my life. I took Plan B within 10 hours of unprotected sex. A couple of days went by and I felt nothing. On the 5th day, I had really weird cramps on my right side under my hip bone which lasted for about 3 days. Then I got really weird brown discharge. Then I started spotting a little bit. On the 10th day, I felt so nauseated they had to send me home from work. I ended up throwing up and then got my period 30 minutes later. Needless to say, the pill did work, but I hope to never have to take it again."

For Emergency Contraception "Okay, so I had sex on the 16th of August. It was completely raw, he didn’t pull out or anything. I was scared that I was going to get pregnant, and I couldn’t get the pill until 32 hours later. I wasn’t ovulating, but I was about to, and sperm lasts 3-5 days in your system. So I got the pill like 32 hours later, and then after that, I had pregnancy symptoms. I missed my period, headaches, nausea, etc. My period was late by 12 days. I took a pregnancy test 3 days after I missed my period, and it came out negative. I took another one at the doctor, and it came out negative too. I was so relieved, but I was still scared because I didn’t get my period. The doctor told me Plan B makes you miss your period sometimes, and yesterday I got spotting. It started coming heavier, and it was my period!! This pill actually works, just STAY calm, everything will be okay!"

For Emergency Contraception "These reviews helped me a lot to calm down when I was a stressed-out mess. I had unprotected sex on Oct. 11. We typically use condoms, but not that day. Dumb. I was not sure Plan B would work because I was ovulating. I took it the day my calendar said I would be the most fertile. Still worth a try. I took it, and I experienced EVERY single possible symptom of pregnancy. Sore boobs, tired, moody, retaining water, cramps, nausea! I thought these would fade, but after two weeks, I still had some of the symptoms, especially backache and cramping. I'm sure being anxious did NOT help. Neither did googling! When I started spotting a few days before my period, I didn't know if it was implantation bleeding. Finally, my period started (the day it should have). I have more cramping than usual, but I'm so relieved about not being pregnant I don't care. I haven't slept for two weeks! Good luck to all of you out there. Waiting is torture. I wish you all the best!!"

For Emergency Contraception "I took it 1 hour after unprotected sex. The first days, no symptoms. Then I had stomach pains for about 5 days. After they went away, I would wake up feeling weak and felt like throwing up when eating breakfast. After the morning, I was fine all day. This all lasted for 2 weeks, and my period came 4 days before it was due! Thank you, Plan B, so much. I was so stressed and scared, birth control will start ASAP!"

For Emergency Contraception "This pill seriously works. If you were in the same position as me, you're sitting on this website reading the reviews and hoping the pill is working. My boyfriend and I had sex on the 12th when the condom broke. He was able to buy the pill on the 14th, some 50 hours after. I took it ASAP. I was very tired and felt nauseous and dizzy every so often after I took it. I started spotting on the 19th and now it's the 20th, and I just woke up with my period. The 50 dollars spent on buying the pill is much better than risking having a baby."

For Emergency Contraception "Plan B works, but it will screw with your mind. These user reviews kept me from going absolutely insane. Had sex on 8/13, almost positive I had ovulated that day-dumb, I know. My boyfriend is good at controlling himself and pulling out, but this time he made a mess with the cum after getting out. Took Plan B 4 hrs after and was nauseous with minor headaches, then exactly 1 week later (8/20) literally ALL the pregnancy symptoms hit me like a ton of bricks-spotting, cramps, mood swings, lower back pain, fatigue, nausea, headaches, food aversions/cravings, sore breasts, elevated temperature, etc. The spotting went away, but the other stuff went on 'til 8/27, the day my period was due. I about lost my mind of anxiety, but 8/28 I got a negative result on a pregnancy test and my period later in the day. The meds work, just don’t let the side effects get to you-they’re still better than getting pregnant. Stay off Google, read the reviews here and relax. Better yet, have safe sex."

For Emergency Contraception "I took this around September 13. He pulled out, but we were still worried about precum, and I was sure I was also ovulating. I have irregular periods sometimes, but my next period was expected to be on Sept 28. I had withdrawal bleeding from Sept 16-20. I never got a period in October. My stomach was bloated, I was always emotional, I felt nauseous sometimes, and got tired very fast. It was basically every pregnancy symptom, and I freaked out. Finally, on the morning of Nov 13, I thought I would go take a pregnancy test, even though there was almost no chance. My period was 30 days late, and on my way to Target, I felt a really weird cramp, and I went to the restroom to check, and thankfully I had my period. Don’t read reviews and generalize, everyone has different bodies, always test to make sure :)"

For Emergency Contraception "Okay, guys, please do not panic. So let me tell y'all about my experience: Before the Plan B, I started my period on November 1st. I had sex on November 14 and took the pill the next morning, not even 24 hours after. The pill does have side effects. I bled a week after I took the Plan B, and after I bled, I felt tired. I would feel weird, like I had to throw up and everything (in the morning), so I started panicking because it was December 15 and still no period. So I took a test and it was negative. I was going to wait another week and take the test, but before I could take it, December 27 is when my period appeared. Don’t worry, y’all, and don’t listen to what you see and stop panicking."

For Emergency Contraception "I had sex, and the condom broke, and the guy wasn’t sure if he finished in me or not. I’m pretty sure I was just about to ovulate the next day (according to Flo), so I was on my very fertile days. It was in the middle of the night, so the next day at around 11 a.m., I took Plan B. About 6 days later, I got a sort of very heavy period that I heard was normal to have after Plan B, but I had heard that most of the time that’s not your actual period, so I still freaked out. I was supposed to get my period on Nov 30, and ended up getting it on Dec 19 (the same day I got that weird period last month, so I guess it actually was my period just coming early from Plan B). I freaked out the entire month and felt nauseous and had NO appetite for weeks. TRUST THE PILL!! I took 7 pregnancy tests (all negative, obviously) and was still scared out of my mind until I got my period. Good luck! And the pill DID work on my fertile days, and I probably had already started ovulating, so be patient and stay positive❤️."

For Emergency Contraception "Took the Plan B pill 1 hour after intercourse. I took it on an empty stomach, which you should NOT do. I felt crazy symptoms for about 1 month. It felt as if I were pregnant. I have been nauseous, tired, mood swings. Horrible feeling, and it lasted quite a while. 1 week after I had taken the pill, I got some spotting that lasted 3 days. I took 7 home pregnancy tests (all negative) because of all the worry. But I just received my period today, which I am so happy about."

For Emergency Contraception "I'm going to give my whole story because I know when I was reading these reviews that's all I wanted to hear just to comfort me, but in a short version because of the word limit... -Had my period on June 23-26 -Had protected sex, but the condom broke, and my boyfriend came in me on July 3, which was 5 to 6 days before ovulation -Took the pill 30-45 minutes after the incident -I had severe nausea, dizziness, breast tenderness that hurt to the touch, fatigue, and slight cramps for a week and a half -On the second week, July 17, I started bleeding brownish at first that turned into a dark red and bled for 5 days (TMI, I know, I'm sorry), but the pill works! I started a week before my expected period, so don't worry girls, you'll be okay!!!"

For Emergency Contraception "I took Plan B about 26 hours after sex and was crazy paranoid because I was ovulating when the incident occurred. For almost two weeks, I had fatigue, extreme nausea, swollen and tender breasts, but then my period came two days early! Period is normal, not heavier or lighter! Plan B does work, but I wouldn't advise taking it often. All those hormones will make you feel absolutely crazy."

For Emergency Contraception "I didn't see enough ovulation Plan B stories, so I thought I would share my experience. After the deed was done, I noticed the condom was broken. I checked to see if I was ovulating (which I was). I got upset and made my boyfriend drive to the nearest pharmacy and pick up Plan B. I took it within 2 hours of the condom breaking. It thickened my cervical mucus and kind of expelled the leftover semen. The next 2 weeks were filled with cramping, nausea, headaches, breast tenderness, and anxiety. The cramps felt like implantation cramps (one side and sharp). Also turned out to be NOT PREGNANT :)"

For Emergency Contraception "So my boyfriend and I had sex around 12:30 am. He didn't have a condom, and he asked me if I was ovulating/fertile, and my dumb ass said no, so he ended up finishing inside of me for the first time ever. I went to the bathroom right away and checked my period tracker app, and it was the day I was ovulating. I FREAKED OUT, I was so scared. I'm not on any kind of birth control! So the next morning, 8 hours later, we went to Walgreens, and he bought me the Plan B pill. The next 2 weeks, I had symptoms: nausea, headaches, cramping in my left lower abdomen, and sore breasts. I was terrified and kept thinking it was pregnancy symptoms! Anyway, it was the longest two weeks of my life, and I ended up getting my period the day I was supposed to. :) Don't freak out, it works!"

For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex the day before ovulation. I wasn't aware at that time I was extremely fertile. I took Plan B within 6 hours after intercourse. I can't lie, I absolutely knew I was pregnant! I had all the symptoms. I was nauseated, had headaches, swollen breasts, and cramped daily. I was so ecstatic to see my period come on the same day it was expected! Birth control pills will be started today! Thanks, Plan B!"

For Emergency Contraception "Had sex with a condom on (Nov 11), the condom slipped after he finished. The next day, I took Plan B because I was so worried that semen got inside me. The side effects when I took it hit me pretty early. Mainly just feeling like I needed to throw up. My period ended up being a WEEK late. I took two pregnancy tests, and both came back negative. Got my period today. Worst cramps I’ve ever experienced, but hey, I’m not pregnant! Just relax, if you don’t get your period on time, it most likely will. Just need to be patient and stop googling stuff!"

For Emergency Contraception "I hope this helps, girls! I took Plan B for the first time, 6 days before ovulation, the beginning of my cycle. On 08/22, I had unprotected sex and took the pill 3 hours after that. No side effects, just felt tired and weird! A week after, I experienced sore boobs, cramps, mood swings, appetite changes, and even had a yeast infection. Then on 08/28, I started to spot, 7 days after the pill. Spotting was light, then it got a little more, I needed a pad! That lasted 4 days! Then I was fine, there was a white, thick, odorless discharge! Then a week went by, and on 09/07, I had these weird cramps and extreme bloating! It seemed like my ovulation day. Anyway, from that day, I felt weird and pregnant, with mood swings, emotional, and hungry all the time, with white and clear discharge! Anyway, on 09/17, my boobs were super sore, then cramping! I also felt nauseous, with a lot of cramping! My period was a week late! I spotted 2 days before my period, and my PERIOD IS HERE!!! 09/24, a week and a half late!!! Side effects suck! Don't stress, you will be fine!"

Sore boobs, nauseous, headache, chill/shiver during sleep, cramp, back pain - I went through all these, and it was really, really bad. But the period came on the exact date that the app predicted!"

I was very worried that I was going to become pregnant, and I basically worried myself sick over things I read online. I had some nausea and cramping, but I got my period right on time with a normal flow. Don't worry, ladies!"

For Emergency Contraception "I had sex during my ovulation time - he finished in me, and I was not comfortable with the idea of having a baby with this particular guy. Off I went 72 hours later to CVS to get the Plan B pill. There was only one left!!!!! I thought, thank goodness I made it in time!!!! I felt nauseous for several days, and I had sore breasts, and I was extremely hormonal. I have been a raging, moody person in heels for weeks! I felt the cramps start a week before my period. Also, my period started three days early. The cramps are horrible, but I am not pregnant, so Tylenol three and hot tea will fix that! Try not to worry and let’s protect ourselves, ladies!!! I was on this site religiously for the first two days after taking this pill. I definitely learned my lesson. A few pumps of passion are not worth a lifetime with a kid with the wrong dude!"

For Emergency Contraception "After having a second miscarriage last September, (It was awful), I didn’t want to go through it again. My husband and I have unprotected sex very close to ovulation day, so we decided to go to the store and get Plan B so I can’t go through another miscarriage. I took the pill like 12 hours after sex. The next day, I was tired, moody, and nauseated. A few days before my period, I had bad PMS symptoms, only that I didn’t get my period. I was late 3 days, and I took a pregnancy test and then another one, so we’re on the 5% because it didn’t work. I’m 6 weeks pregnant, crossing my fingers that this time we can have a baby."

For Emergency Contraception "Okay, this is my second time taking Plan B. And I told myself if it works this time, I'd write a review to help you feel better. Trust me, I was as nervous as you. My bf and I had an accident around 3 a.m., the condom broke, and he had finished inside me. We checked my ovulation tracker, and I had ovulated the day after. We immediately rushed to the pharmacy. We aren't ready for babies. I took the pill an hour after the incident. Then, 3 days later, I experienced spotting for one day - I thought it was implantation bleeding, I was thinking the worst. Then, the day after, I felt a little nauseous, fatigue, tiredness, and depression. I was 3 days late :) and you'll be okay, just take it as soon as possible. The first time I took it, 36 hrs later, and it still worked. However, no symptoms. The only bad thing about the pill is it makes you believe you'd actually be pregnant. Don't stress and pray. Hope this helps."

For Emergency Contraception "My girlfriend has taken this product three different times. The first time, she had withdrawal bleeding for a week, two days after use. The other two times, she didn't bleed at all but suffered from extreme nausea, bloating, headaches, etc. This product truly works, as two-thirds of the times we had to use it were the most fertile times of her cycle. Recommend this product to anyone."
