For Emergency Contraception: Hi ladies! I was in the same boat, reading reviews to help ease my mind after taking ella! I had unprotected sex and so the day after I took ella. My period was over 3 weeks late. I was very concerned and even took 2 pregnancy tests, both were negative. This pill really delays your period and makes it worse, sorry to tell you! I felt all the symptoms before my period started which made me paranoid, I was emotional, tender breasts and cramping. This pill worked but having to wait almost a month on whether or not I was pregnant was absolute torture. I was relieved when I got my period but I had a heavier flow and I was cramping more than usual! This pill works, it just delays your period an extra 2-3 weeks! |

For Emergency Contraception: Listen up beautiful ladies. I know you are reading reviews and about to lose your mind. I will be as detailed as possible to ease your mind. I had a period 11/4. Had an accident with my boyfriend and he ended up coming fully inside me smack in my fertilization window. I took this pill within the initial 24 hour window. (About 18 hours). For almost two weeks.. I FELT PREGNANT. My boobs grew and were in an immense amount of pain. I'm talking couldn't bear to wear a bra. I had cramps. It has been the most stressful time of my life. 1.5 weeks after I took the pill... I started my period and felt a huge hormone drop. This pill worked. But I have never felt so terrible in my life. Be careful lovies For Emergency Contraception: So I had a terrible one night stand. Took this October 1st during my ovulation period, one day after the incident. My period was expected to come on the 17th and didn’t arrive til the 26th. It was nine days late. I didn’t have any of the side effects some people are talking about. I’m not pregnant and that’s most important. |

For Emergency Contraception: Hey guys! So I had UPS on Dec 2nd and took Ellaone about 48 hours after, I was towards the start of my cycle and was due to ovulate in about four days. My next period was due on Dec 27th and it’s pretty regular so of course I was freaked out when it was late. I came straight to this site to see if it had made other people’s periods late and was reassured to see that it had, but mine was almost 2 weeks late at this point so I was getting really worried. I took 2 pregnancy tests 3 days apart but both were negative, this helped calm me down a bit but I was still just desperate to get my period. I was getting PMS symptoms like cramps, tender breasts and backache but as these are also symptoms of early pregnancy it wasn’t much of a reassurance. Long story short, I got my period this morning and feel like I can breathe again! I hope this can offer a bit of reassurance to someone reading this, don’t underestimate the power of this pill and how it can affect your cycle. It really does work.
