For Emergency Contraception "OMG, I wrote something with 3,519 characters, and only 1,000 is allowed :(. Basically, do not freak out. I had every side effect in the world and convinced myself that I was pregnant. I took two Plan B's in one month and thought one or the other did not work. The side effects I had were abdominal cramps, tender breasts, mood swings, serious dizziness and nausea, diarrhea, drowsiness, tiredness, headaches, all different types of discharge, and I peed a whole lot. My period came on 5 days late (today) while I was giving a pee sample at the doctor's, and I started crying from being very happy. I’m not experiencing any cramps right now, I just have a little unwanted attitude, but that’s fine. I wish I could give you guys the long review I had, it was waaaay more beneficial and very detailed. I’m so sorry, guys, and I wish you the best of luck. Please be more careful and make sure to use condoms and to get on birth control, I just made my IUD appointment today!"

For Emergency Contraception "Pill works! Had sex September 20, condom slipped, and he came inside. Took the pill the next morning (8 hrs later). I had a few hrs of experienced tiredness and so on. A week later, started having red/brown discharge and had a 3-day period (withdrawal period). Then a week later, got my actual period but it was different (lighter than usual). Took pregnancy tests: negative. A week later, got bloodwork done and also negative!! The pill really messed up my body, causing me to have a hormonal imbalance but the pill really does work, trust it :)"

For Emergency Contraception "I had sex on Monday with my boyfriend. I went and got Plan B. I had used it on one other occasion, and it worked AMAZING! I had no side effects except that I was super tired. When I took it the first time, my period came about a week after. I was so ecstatic. I truly love this. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. I know that it doesn't work for some people, and everyone's different. Don't use this as an excuse for unprotected sex. This won't work for everyone. ALWAYS be safe."

For Emergency Contraception "Had a condom accident on July 29th during a very fertile time for me, and I took the pill 2 hours later. I was so stressed for 2 weeks thinking of this pill not working, but it did. Got my period today, 3 days earlier than normally expected. This pill made me extremely tired and gave me very sore breasts for a couple of days, but it overall worked! So please, please, please to anyone reading this, relax. It will all be okay!"

For Emergency Contraception "This is my third time taking this pill, and each time (after having someone finish inside of me) it's worked! But this is the first time I've had TERRIBLE side effects, or any at all, tbh. It's been a week since I took the pill, and I've been nauseous for a few days straight and actually threw up once, extreme loss of appetite, I'm hungry, but whenever I go to eat, I can barely get half of it down without wanting to vomit. On top of that, I'm exhausted and my sleep is fitful. Last but not least, my period is 3 weeks early and the cramping is different than usual. All in all, the pill works just with hell to pay :/ Keep my health in your thoughts, ladies."

For Emergency Contraception "I promised myself if I got my period I would share, so here I am with it 4 days early!! Trust me, it works, ladies! I had sex with my boyfriend 2 days before I was supposed to ovulate, and I was freaking out because we were so into it he nutted in me. It was too late at night to get a Plan B, but I went in the morning. They say if you're already in your week of ovulation, Plan B 'doesn't work,' but I risked it anyways. I took the pill within 10 hours after I had sex, hoping and praying it would work. I was very tired for 2 days once I took the pill, but that’s all the side effects I had. Even if you think it’s too late, ladies, it’s not. Go and get a Plan B, it will work."

For Emergency Contraception "I never really review anything, but I have to for this because I know how stressed out I was, and reading the reviews on here helped me so much and honestly allowed me to have hope. I had sex at 1:00 am with my friend and without a condom, and I wasn't on B.C. either (stupid, I know). He didn't finish in me, but I was still so scared because I knew about precum. I took the Plan B pill ten hours later and began having all the pregnancy symptoms like bloating, tender breasts, nausea, and felt so tired all the time. I honestly felt hopeless. But, I woke up today and I went to the bathroom to pee, and there it was: bright red blood (-: never have I been so happy to have my period, that too on Valentine's Day! Let the pill do its job, ladies!! (:"

For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex on April 8th, took the pill 12 hrs later! Experienced a few cramps and extreme tiredness! Yesterday, April 14th, my period started, and I am extremely happy that this pill worked! Also, I heard it does not work on overweight people, but I weigh 180, and it worked for me!"

For Emergency Contraception "The condom broke the day before I was supposed to start my period, and I took Plan B One-Step an hour after the 'accident.' I was very tired and sick to my stomach, but after a good night's rest (10 hours, which is unusually long for me), I felt much better. The cramps felt like I was being ripped in two and were so bad they caused diarrhea. Then, 5 days after taking the pill, I started my period. I have never been so glad to bleed so much. I bled for 5 days, and it was pretty heavy. It worked great."

For Emergency Contraception "I took Plan B One-Step 7 hours after intercourse (pull-out method, no BC) on day 12 of my cycle (usually ovulate day 14-16, sometimes earlier). The first 24 hours following, I was very warm, dizzy, and extremely tired. I stayed very tired for the following week. About one week after taking the pill, I had breast tenderness and some slight cramps from time to time for about a week. This made me concerned I was pregnant. I took two HPTs... One 10 days following intercourse/pill and the other 12 days later, both negative. Period started 13 days following the pill (5 days earlier than expected). It is heavy and dark, and I am relieved."

For Emergency Contraception "I promised I would share my experience. It worked!!! Never been this happy about bleeding before. I’m 25, 5’9 and around 128 pounds. I had sex for the first time on Sep 7, 5 days before the date I was supposed to be getting my next period. In the heat of the moment, I had unprotected sex with this guy whom I have dated in the past. We were both a bit drunk and neither of us remembered if he came inside me, so the next day I was panicking and went to Rite Aid to get Plan B at around 11 am. The same day, I started to feel super tired (I was hungover), nauseous, and I experienced abdominal pain. For the next 4 days, the dizziness continued and I had some yellowish-looking discharge, lack of appetite, and cramps... I was super worried because Google said those were early pregnancy symptoms. Stay away from Google! Good news is I got my period yesterday, exactly when I was supposed to. I’m super happy, and I thank God I am not pregnant. Just pray, and don't go too crazy - the pill works."

For Emergency Contraception "I’m writing this for others. I had unprotected sex during my fertile window according to my period tracker “Clue.” It happened on day 10, and I ovulate on day 14. The pill delayed my ovulation so the sperm couldn’t get to an egg. I took a Plan B, then a week later I started having spotting from the pill that was like a light period for up to 5 days. I felt nauseous, tired, moody, bloated, and had breast pain the week before my expected period and on and on. I took a digital pregnancy test 4 days before my expected period, and it said I wasn’t pregnant. Taking Plan B gave me the worst period symptoms I’ve had, it felt more hormonal. But, I got my period a day late, the pill worked. Someone told me chances are you aren’t pregnant, it has to be timed right to become pregnant. Try getting on a contraceptive that’s not the pill so you don’t forget to take it and get nervous about being pregnant. I’m getting an IUD, my doctor gave me a pamphlet about it."

For Emergency Contraception "I took Plan B approximately 24 hours after unprotected sex during one of my high fertile days (13 days past last period). I felt some pressure cramping on my left side a few hours later. I didn't get any other side effects until exactly 2 weeks after taking the pill (which also happened to be the day my period was supposed to start). That morning, I woke up with sore and full breasts, slight cramping, and a tiny bit of brown discharge that was present throughout the day. I had a little streak on my panty liner, and I could see a clearish/brown discharge when I would wipe. The brown discharge was on and off for 2 and a half days. It has now been 4 days since I should've started my period, and I'm constipated, my boobs still feel hard and full, I'm tired, not feeling motivated, and hungry for junk food. If I don't start my period in a couple more days, I'm going to take a pregnancy test just to make sure. Has anyone else had any of the same symptoms as I've had? I've done so much research online, and most girls have some sort of symptoms, bleeding, and/or discharge from a few days to a week after taking the pill, not 2 weeks after. Not sure if anyone will read this, but I will be back to update if pregnant or just Plan B messing me up."

For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex. My boyfriend pulled out, but just to make sure, I bought a Plan B about 26 hours later. I felt dizziness, and I was always tired and wanting to go to sleep right after I took the pill. Two days after that, I had sex again, but this time it was with a condom. I was getting really stressed, and I kept looking over the reviews to make myself feel better. Exactly a week later, I got a brownish discharge along with light cramping, which led to my period. This pill works!!! I had sex on my ovulation day, so I was kinda doubting that it would work, but it did."

For Emergency Contraception "Okay, so if you're on here freaking out like I was... stop. Seriously! Okay, so my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex while I was fertile, he did pull out, but pre-cum is just as effective. So I freaked out and bought Plan B One-Step and took it 21 hours later. I felt nothing. No spotting, just my boobs were sore, and I was tired and moody. I was expected to ovulate around that time too, so that just made it worse since it's less effective if you take it after ovulation. So soon enough, I got my period the day before I was supposed to get it! My cramps are worse than usual, but it's better than being 18 and pregnant. Learn from this experience! But chances are you're fine, so relax and go order some Domino's because Plan B will do its job."

For Emergency Contraception "I had protected intercourse a day before my scheduled period, and the condom broke. I freaked out, and it was the 1st time it has ever happened to me. So, within an hour, I took Plan B One-Step, and later on that day, I experienced nausea, tiredness, a little diarrhea, and tender breasts. So, within 5 days, my period came 5 days late. I had bleeding and cramping, the bleeding lasted for 6 days (I'm guessing the 6-day bleeding will be considered a period). It has been a month since the mishap, now I'm waiting for my scheduled period for this month (December). It says it will cause menstrual changes, so now I just have to wait."

For Emergency Contraception "So I had my period on June 6th, and the very last day, my boyfriend and I had sex with a condom, and somehow, we both finished without realizing that the condom slipped off into me. And my boyfriend wasn't sure if he came inside me or not, and I didn't see any cum. This was about midnight when it happened, and I was freaking out. The next morning, I went to CVS, bought it for $53. Ate something, then took the pill at 8 a.m. (8 hours after the incident). I felt so tired the first week that all I did was want to sleep. Then, the following weeks, I would feel nauseous and had stomach aches. To me, I’d rather have all that than get pregnant. So I'm on birth control pills, so I continued to take them, then on July 4th, I got my period! Stay positive! xo"

For Emergency Contraception "I took this pill within 2 hours of unprotected sex. I took an ovulation test, and it said I was having an LH surge, which means I was about to ovulate. I freaked out, especially after reading Plan B is pretty much ineffective during that time, but I took it anyway. It pretty much makes you feel pregnant. For the next 2 weeks, I had cramps, tender breasts, was tired, and had back aches. I did get my period on schedule, which was a complete relief. I am 32 and have 3 young children, I do not want another one."

For Emergency Contraception "I got my period. Three days early. I took it when my period app said I was ovulating, and I had done the deed two days before ovulation. So I took this two days after having sex, at the end of the day of ovulation. I don’t know if it was this actually working or if I got lucky since it says that if you take it during ovulation, it DOESN'T work. Maybe I wasn’t ovulating when my app said I was. I got EVERY symptom in the book. I was extremely tired, sore boobs, headaches, dry eyes, mood swings, and I broke out like crazy. I have 29-day cycles, and I got my period on cycle day 26. I didn’t give it a 10 because of all the awful symptoms I got leading up to my period, not to mention thinking I was pregnant. I guess it’s worth trying to take it regardless if you think you’re ovulating because maybe you aren’t yet, and it will work for you like it did for me. Although it seems a bit risky since it can perhaps cause an ectopic!"

For Emergency Contraception "Okay, so I'm writing here because when I was freaked out, these reviews really helped me. Do not worry, this pill will work. This is the reason it exists. I had unprotected sex during a very fertile time and possibly even during ovulation. I took the pill about 7 hours after. My period was due in about 2 weeks, and it came today a couple of days early! I had no side effects other than tiredness for the first day and some diarrhea. Other than that, it was just a waiting game. But it worked for me, and I'm sure it will work for you too. Stay calm and know that this pill works."

For Emergency Contraception "I had promised myself that if this drug works, I would write a review. I was terrified to get pregnant, and I hopefully can put some minds to ease sharing my story. Details: semi-unprotected sex (1 min unprotected, then switched to a condom); May 10th. Took Plan B May 12th (38 hours after). Got period May 26th. (Expected) Symptoms: nothing first two days. Day 3-6: tiredness, extremely sore breasts, a little bit of queasiness. Day 6-8: tiny bit of old brown discharge, but all the other symptoms had gone. Day 8-11: nothing, and I was worried it hadn't worked. Day 12-15: extreme cramping, bloating, and almost hardness of lower abs and ovaries. It hurt, and I was worried it was implantation cramping! It had pretty much stopped, and then I got my period."

For Emergency Contraception "So I had unprotected sex on August 13, 2017, and when I woke up, I started to panic and made my boyfriend leave work so we could go buy this pill. I took the pill 12 hours after sex, I took it with food, and right after, fell asleep. A couple of days after taking the pill, those side effects hit me crazy. I was feeling so bad, it was the worst, from horrible cramps/abdominal pains to being tired all the time to getting headaches, eating a lot, and getting depressed out of nowhere. That happened for about two weeks. In the third week, I experienced tender breasts, and I started spotting brown/red blood. I was a bit relieved once I saw almost all the people that took it bled too. It was a good sign, so I bled for about four days, and it led to my period!!"

For Emergency Contraception "This product is amazing. To be on this website, you must be so anxious, worried, and trapped with trepidation, honestly, please calm down! I am a young, helpless, silly teenager. With the support of my boyfriend, we rushed to the nearest chemist and got the pill 20 minutes after the condom broke. I felt no symptoms besides feeling tired and a couple of cystic pimples on my chin a week later. Anyway, I got my period 8 days after, and it was the normal flow. Then my actual period date arrived, and I got my period yet again, so my cycle seems to be back! This product has saved my life, and coupled with positive no symptoms, it was amazing. Hopefully, I'll never need to take the pill again because it's an emotional and physically demanding ordeal! Good luck :)"

For Emergency Contraception "My boyfriend and I were having sex and the condom broke. I freaked out as soon as it happened! It was about 3:10 pm, and I took Plan B around 4:30. I didn't really feel any side effects until the next day when I had a headache, super tired, and extremely moody. The moodiness might've been because I was due for my period in a week and a half, and I was PMSing, but the moodiness was bad. I got my period yesterday, and I told myself I would write a review if it worked for me. My period came 3 days early, and it's extremely heavy with bad cramps, but that's how it normally is, but I'm never early. Also, the things that say it doesn't work for people over 176 pounds are a lie, I'm 210 pounds, and it worked for me! I hope this helps someone!!!"

For Emergency Contraception "Accidents can happen. Condom broke on that day, Sep 5th, which was the 12th day of my cycle, a fertile day. I rushed to get Plan B as I am not on any birth control pill. I had taken the pill 15-20 minutes after sex. I did experience lower stomach cramps, but not too painful, dizziness, and tiredness that day. I was expected to have my next period on Sep 22nd for my normal cycle. However, I got my period yesterday, Sep 18th, four days earlier. I was so happy that Plan B works."
