For Emergency Contraception: I came off my period on the 30th of July. I had intercourse on 1st of August but I was still worried so I decided to go to boots and get the plan B on the 3rd of August. Today is the 11th of August and I have started spotting and feels like a light period but getting heavier. I feel nauseous and having dizzy spells. I’m praying to god that this is just a side effect because my next period isn’t due until the 26th of August. Anyone else had spotting a week after taking Plan B??? |

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: I also promised myself I would write a review no matter what. So here goes. My husband and I have two children and are happy with that. We use this as a backup and I have had no issues with it till this past month. I was ovulating that day (I do normally feel it) and that night he couldn't pull out coz we cum at the same time so I took the pill not more than 5 hours later. A week later I had intense cramps for a day which was almost like ovulation but instead of one side, it was my entire uterus. The following day I had blood tinged, thick and stretchy CM. (Almost like mucus plug.) Pink discharge followed for a few days then nothing at all. I was sure I was pregnant and convinced myself it was implantation because of a lower back ache that lingered on. Long story short I took a test a day after my missed period (negative) and started my period today (4 days late) after a terrible migraine last night (hormone related I guess). So it worked for me but I don't ever want to use it again.
