For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex 3 days after my period ended. I took a Take Action pill 3/4 days after (72 hrs is recommended for effectiveness). I was a little past 72 hrs. Once I took the pill, the next day I started to feel fatigue and nauseous, not to mention I started seeing light red blood. It’s been 2 days of light bleeding, no cramping at all. I really hope I am not pregnant :("

For Emergency Contraception "I took this pill about a week ago, about an hour after intercourse, and got my period today (right on time). At first, when I took the pill, the only side effects I had were fatigue, sore breasts, and slight cramping in my abdomen. I thought the pill wasn't working because I didn't get any 'breakthrough' bleeding like other people. But it worked! My period has started, but the cramps are so severe, they've been making me nauseous, and I've puked a few times. My period is usually painful the first few days, but I've never had cramps that hurt like this. It feels like something is trying to tear a hole in my abdomen. The pain is worth it, but I definitely won't ever take anything like this again; I'm going to get on birth control and be more careful in the future. All in all, if you need to take the pill, do it, just beware of the side effects."

For Emergency Contraception "My bf and I had sex, and he finished in me the day after my period ended. My fertile window was in approx. 4 days following, so I was a bit worried, but brushed it off. I took a Take Action 2 days later because I was suddenly seeing babies and pregnant women literally everywhere I went (on TV, the grocery store, social media! Back-to-back baby!) so I took it as a sign. When I tell you I have SYMPTOMS, I mean it: sore boobs, mood swings, abdominal cramping, fatigue, fuzzy brain, nausea. It sucks. HOWEVER, I started my period again 9 days post-unprotected sex/7 days post-pill pop. This sucks, but I’m not pregnant. I will say, I took Plan B in 2019 and didn’t experience any of these symptoms, so... get Plan B. Also, if you’re a student, most clinics on campus offer Plan B brand for like $15. (I rate this very effective, but do not recommend Take Action because of side effects.)"

For Emergency Contraception "No pain, just a heavy period, which I'm used to, but the fatigue is pretty bad. I’ve been sleeping non-stop, and pair that with a cold, it’s rough. My period also came a week early."
