For Emergency Contraception "I told myself I would come here and give details on my experience because I really thought I was pregnant and I was freaking out for about a week leading up to my period. I had unprotected sex the day after my period. He came inside of me. The next day, about 15 hours later, I picked up the Take Action pill and took it. I had a headache the day after but virtually no symptoms until about 2 weeks after taking it. Brown discharge and spotting 2 days before my expected period. I started cramping 5 days before my expected period as well. Currently, my nausea and cramping are through the roof, all period symptoms heightened, but I’m not pregnant so I’m happy! It worked!!"

For Emergency Contraception "My husband and I had sex May 23rd and had a condom failure, so took Take Action pill the very next morning. Now (June 4th) I have light cramping, spotting, and headache, but still having negative results with pregnancy tests. I’m due for my period the 8th-fingers crossed this pill worked."

For Emergency Contraception "Took this within 2 hours of having unprotected sex, 9 days after my last period started. Had bad stomach ache, cramping, and headaches a few days after, but no period. Took a test after 3 weeks, like the insert recommended: positive. Bought 2 more pregnancy test brands out of disbelief, and all came back positive. Do not waste your time on this pill. It doesn't work."

For Emergency Contraception "Okay. So I took the Take Action pill the day of intercourse, not even 12 hours later. First 2 days, no side effects. Next couple of days, severe stomach cramps, dizziness, nauseous, and headaches."

For Emergency Contraception "Take Action made me feel absolutely terrible. Flu-like symptoms for 3 days, headaches, pain in the muscles, couldn't get out of bed! I still feel wonky after 5 days. Definitely not worth the accident!"
