For Emergency Contraception: My experience was stressful and nerve wracking, I literally thought it wouldn't work because I took the pill during ovulation (according to my app) but thankfully my period arrived one month and a weeks later! I missed a freaking period, but it was worth the try, so girls relax, take it during 24hrs. Best of luck |

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 took the Plan B One Step pill at least 2 hours AFTER unprotected sex (pregnancy was DEFINITELY guaranteed.) I refused to wait until the next morning. I’m not on birth control so I was relying solely on this one pill. I was going into my week of ovulation when I took the pill so I took it at least 4-5 days before my projected “egg release” date. Within a week of taking the pill, I had symptoms of nausea for about 2-3 days (no vomiting) but after that, I was fine-no other side effects. I had to wait 2 weeks until next period. I didn’t take any pregnancy tests. I just waited and tried to keep my mind focused on other things because stress can definitely delay your period, too. Fast forward, it’s been 2 weeks and my period has arrived at its regular time. I’m feeling my normal cramps and my flow is getting heavier as the day goes on. Definitely would not put myself through that stress again, but can definitely say this pill worked for me.
