Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex and he claims that he didn’t cum, but the way he was moaning throughout our time together made me a bit nervous! I know that the chances of getting pregnant from pre-cum are slim to nothing, so I wasn’t too worried. However, the next morning when I realized that I had been ovulating according to my period tracker, I ran to the store and got Plan B! I took it 16 hours after the deed was done. A week before my expected period, I experienced lots of nausea, cramping, and fatigue but no period. Fast forward to when my period was 1 day late and I started freaking out. All the stress made me 4 days late, yet extremely grateful to not be pregnant."

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "I wanted to share a positive post on here. I took Plan B about 20 hours after unprotected sex. For 3 weeks, I panicked. I saw no spotting at all, except for one day after taking it (which I swore was implantation bleeding). I was also sick to my stomach, and my boobs hurt. After several pregnancy tests and being a week late, I finally got my period. The wait almost literally had me on edge, but I was never so glad to get my period. Never again taking this chance. Please try to stay calm and trust the pill and the process. I took this pill literally during ovulation, and it still worked. Very effective. Just remember everyone's body reacts differently to the hormones."

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "I am 23, 5’8, 255 pounds. I had unprotected sex on February 15, according to my tracker, it was two days before ovulation at approximately 10 pm. I took the pill the next morning at 12/1 in the afternoon. I took it on a full stomach and for the most part, I didn’t have any side effects. I read reviews and forums like this and was scared to death! Don’t do it, get off of here! I was scared that it wouldn’t work because of my BMI. I was very moody and depressed some days, and I was urinating very frequently, every two hours almost. My discharge was very thin and watery with no stretch. I am here to tell you it messes your body up but it works. My cycle came on this morning on time, it is heavy! But I’d take a heavy cycle over being pregnant. Will be going back to get birth control soon!"

Kyleena (levonorgestrel) for Birth Control "I got the Kyleena inserted in August of 2019 because I wanted to get off of the pill. My insertion process was really smooth and was definitely not as bad as everyone says. After I got Kyleena inserted, I started having severe anxiety which is something I had never experienced before. I was experiencing daily panic attacks, constant anxiety about nothing, and felt as if I was going crazy. I originally thought it was my hormones just leveling out, but it never went away. I had the IUD removed about 9 days ago and feel SO MUCH BETTER and almost back to my old self. Doctors say it isn't a side effect, but it seems to be more and more common. If you are experiencing the same thing, just know you aren't alone!"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "Ladies, don't stress. Most of the time, this pill works! I'm writing this because I know how much I stressed waiting for my period to finally arrive, and these reviews calmed me down and made me feel like I wasn't alone. My only side effects were fatigue and a few days of spotting starting around 5 days after I took the pill. Finally, after about 2 weeks past my expected period, it finally came! Try not to stress, which I know is hard, but stress really does only delay your period more. Hope this helps!"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "I had sex the day before ovulating and the day of ovulation. My boyfriend ejaculated in me on both days. I had to take a Plan B on both days. The pills work. My only symptom was sore breasts and I got my cycle on time. Please trust the pill and don’t believe that it doesn’t work during ovulation because it does!! I was up stressed till my cycle came and it came on time."

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "You’re probably scrolling right now super anxious and stressed, so I say calm down and let the pill work its magic. I’m certain it was on ovulation day, the condom broke, he said he did a risky pull out but I honestly don’t trust the pulling out method at all!!! Lol I just don’t trust anyone enough to beat biology like that, and I don’t even want to think about children till I’m 30. I dragged him to immediately buy me Plan B afterwards (about 20 minutes later) and took it in the parking lot. About 5 days later, I started to get super bloated, loss of appetite, crazy mood swings, nausea, tender breasts, and a rise in temperature. Another 4 days and cramping arrived, I saw spotting (like literal red dots) on the 4th day, and that definitely made me panic, but the next day I saw clots and regular flow. Symptoms were awful, but it did its job, and that’s all that matters."

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex last month on the 26th at 12 AM and according to my period app I was ovulating. I should’ve told him I wasn’t on birth control. The same day he brought me Plan B, and I took it right away. I was really anxious. I had a few symptoms. The first day it made me really sleepy. A week after I took it, the symptoms continued. I had mild cramps, felt bloated, and had mood swings. The waiting game was hard, seeing if my period was going to show up on time. Now today, my period started a day early; I was supposed to get my period on June 8th. I've never been so happy to see blood! I’ve seen a lot of people say the pill won’t work if you’re ovulating but that’s not true, so don't stress yourself out; the pill will work."

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "Hey guys! UPDATE! So as in my last post, I had sex on the day of ovulation according to my period tracker and my guy came inside me. Well, I got up and went and got a Plan B 30 mins after, and for about 2 weeks after, I felt all of being pregnant; bad nausea, back pain, hungry and tired. But here I am now, and my period came on yesterday. It started spotting at first, and now it's gone crazy, but hey, I'll take this over being prego! Either it was my time to get pregnant or the Pill really works!"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "I promised myself I would share my experience! And guess what, it did work for me and I was close to ovulation! My period was supposed to be here by August 21, and it didn’t. I panicked a lot, like a lot! My period came after 14 days late, it started on Sept. 3rd! The side effects to me were terrible! I had anxiety attacks, I was always nervous, nausea, bloated. But it worked! I never plan on using it again though! Take a deep breath, you will be fine! Just don’t stress so much like I did. I know it’s impossible, but just try❤️"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "I told myself I would share my experience if it worked because these reviews were the only thing keeping me sane. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on the 14th, which was when I was ovulating. Keep in mind I’m not on any birth control, nor did we use a condom. I know, dumb. We bought a Plan B, and I took it an hour after we finished. For two weeks, I was a mess. Especially when I found out it doesn't work during ovulation. I had extreme nausea, my boobs hurt, I had chills, lower back pain, bloating. I was convinced I was pregnant. But I got my period today, a day late. It’s heavier than usual, and the cramps are unbearable, but now I can relax. So please, for the girl reading this, take a deep breath. This pill really works."

Mirena (levonorgestrel) for Birth Control "I had the Mirena placed three months ago. The insertion was painful. I won’t fabricate that, but it only lasted at most 12 seconds and it was over. I took both Tylenol and Advil before my appointment, and that seemed to help a bit. The more uncomfortable/painful cramping lasted less than 24 hours after my appointment. I took the day off of work, which I am glad I did. The first 2/3 weeks after I had it placed, I had no bleeding or spotting. I had medium spotting for 2 months on and off after. I usually wore a liner. Bleeding lasted a few days and would be inconsistent. The third month, the spotting was extremely light and would occur 1-2x per week. My hormones seem to be well balanced. I experienced some neck acne for the first 2 months, but that did subside. I haven’t gained or lost any weight. My sex drive is unchanged. I’ve read plenty of horror stories on the internet regarding this method, so I thought I would throw in a positive one."

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "I was not going to post a review but decided to after realizing there might be someone out there very nervous right now. I had sex a day after my period ended and while I probably didn't even need it, I was very scared, being a teenager, and decided to take Plan B. I took it five hours after the incident, and I didn't have any side effects. I got my period 1 week 2 days after the pill, which is odd considering I just had it, but Plan B messes up your period. Now I'm not sure whether my next period will come when it was originally supposed to, or in a month, but since I got my period, I know Plan B worked. I worried myself sick, but reading all the positive reviews helped, and I hope this one does too!"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "To whoever is reading this: You’re probably stressed, anxious, and worried. But trust the pill, you will be absolutely fine <3. I took Plan B after the condom broke, which was close to my ovulation day. A week later I had brown spotting that lasted the entire month. But, at last, I got my period! It was 4 days late, and I was so worried the entire month. I had stopped living my life over this one thing. The pill works 95% of the time, but I kept thinking about that slight chance when it doesn’t. Don’t think like that! The odds are in your favor. It can be really disheartening to read a bad review where the pill doesn’t work. However, don’t forget that for the person who it didn’t work for, there are hundreds of thousands of people that it did work for! You will be absolutely fine, girl! xxx"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "“Effective” my ass. I literally took this within the hour of a condom malfunction and it DID NOT WORK. I was not ovulating or fertile, according to my period app. I waited almost 4 weeks after taking the pill to take a test, and sure enough it was positive. I read every review on here to try and ease my mind for such a late period, and I was one of the unlucky ones. If your period is more than 2 weeks late, please take a test. I’m writing this review to help others. I will forever be more careful."

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex extremely close to my predicted ovulation. I took a Plan B 4 hours later, only to learn that it is much less effective if ovulation has already occurred. Nothing to do but wait for my period. Exactly 14 days after, I had some spotting, at first I was so elated because I thought it was my period. After the bleeding stopped, I turned to Google (mistake). I convinced myself it was implantation bleeding, combined with the sore breasts I was experiencing, I was sure I was pregnant. I took an early pregnancy test and it was negative. That same evening, I got my period. During my hours of stress, I read similar stories to mine to help calm me down. There is no need to be worried until you have actually missed your period, even then Plan B can cause it to be delayed. Even if you are pregnant, you have options, you'll be okay. Don't worry until you are sure you need to."

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "Long story short, I had unprotected sex TWICE in one month. Once on December 3 and the other on NYE, Dec 31. I also took Plan B each time. You can just imagine how messed up my cycle was, and to make matters worse, on Dec 31 I was OVULATING. Not just assumed ovulation because of an app, like I took an OPK and it said my LH levels were HIGH. I had almost every pregnancy symptom imaginable after taking my second Plan B. However, I am proud to say that I got my period today on Jan 15. My last period started on Dec 4, so I was over a week late. I couldn’t help but read everywhere that Plan B does NOT work when you are ovulating. Please, please do NOT freak out because it worked for me in the worst possible scenario. I also know for a FACT that I am VERY fertile because I have already had to terminate one pregnancy before. Despite me ovulating and being very fertile, it WORKED."

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex on my ovulation day and I took the emergency pill the next day (less than 24 hours). After I week I got brown discharge and I assumed that it's my normal period but it stopped after 2 days. Now I'm currently waiting on my periods and hopefully I get them because I'm not ready to be a mom yet."

Mirena (levonorgestrel) for Birth Control "I'm 27 years old and the mother of two boys. I had the Mirena inserted one and a half years ago. The insertion was fine, mild cramping, but for the last year and a half I have experienced depression, bad acne, weight gain of about ten kilos, mood swings. Six months ago once my periods stopped altogether the symptoms got worse. I began having stomach cramps, nausea on most days, painful breasts and diminished libido and when it was supposed to be that time of the month my abdomen would bloat. I had Mirena removed last week and feel like a new person. I'm already losing weight and all the other symptoms have vanished."

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "I want to share my experience taking Plan B because I know some other ladies are just as scared as I was. I had sex with my boyfriend, but the condom had slid off without either of us knowing. He didn’t pull out either. I did not have time to stop at the store on my way home, so I took Plan B the next morning, 16 hours after sex. You have to try not to throw up within the first two hours, so I took a nap to prevent myself from doing so. I woke up light-headed and feeling a little sick. After some time, I felt completely fine. I noticed my emotions were really bad for the next few days, maybe from the hormones in the pill. But I took a pregnancy test just to make sure, and I am not pregnant! Even after 16 hours between sex and Plan B! Please try your best not to google pregnancy symptoms because that will just scare you. Just stay strong and be patient! I’m sending prayers your way ❤️"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "To the girl who is reading this, calm down and know that everything will be okay! I promised myself that if it worked for me, I would leave a review. I had unprotected sex on Dec 7 and bought the pill 30 minutes later. My last period was Nov 7. Fast forward to the end of December, and my period was nowhere in sight. I ignored my stress until I got VERY worried when my period was almost 3 weeks late. My nipples were more sensitive, my boobs were sore, I was moody, and I was bloated but still no period. I had been scrolling through pages and pages of reviews trying to bring myself comfort, and I kept seeing women saying it didn’t work and they were pregnant. I was starting to panic, so I decided to take a pregnancy test. I took two tests, and they were both negative. The day after I took the tests, my period came! (20 days late) Remember that the pill can mimic pregnancy symptoms, and everyone’s body is different. Not everyone’s body will react the same. You will be okay!"

Mirena (levonorgestrel) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I had the Mirena put in Aug 13, 2019... spotted every day for about a month, finally had a period but very lightly. Ruined my sex life, constantly bleeding and smell of old blood. Days I wasn’t spotting when having sex, made me realize that old blood was sitting in my cervix which cause me to smell during sex. Finally got it removed yesterday and just want my body to get back to the way that it was... I would rather deal with my period than to not know when I’m gonna bleed or having continuous spotting and a horrible sex life. One day after removal I’m bleeding like a normal period so hopefully that will clear everything up. I would never put in another Mirena."

Take Action (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "Okay, I promised myself that I would do a review once I started my period to calm some of you ladies who are freaking right now. I took the pill probably about 45 minutes after unprotected sex. A week later I started spotting, so of course, I was freaking out thinking it wasn’t my period. It was very light spotting, but my cramps were AWFUL! I was shaking; they were so bad. The bleeding lasted 5 days, so I was hoping it was my period. A few days later, I experienced every pregnancy symptom in the book.. headaches, nausea, exhaustion, sore boobs/nipples, weight gain, cravings. You name it! It felt like the most stressful few months of my life.. this month I was 6 days late on my period and FINALLY started! This pill does have side effects for some people! Not all.. but! If you take it before 72 hours, I promise it works! You’ll be okay, I promise.❤️"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) for Emergency Contraception "Honestly, reading these reviews really helped me get through it so I promised myself I would write one too. I am 19, and it was probably the day after my period ended, around Nov 4th. My boyfriend and I were having unprotected sex, and he came in me. I didn't take the pill until 2 days later. I had every symptom. DO NOT GOOGLE ANYTHING; you will convince yourself you are pregnant like I did. Just remember, even though the symptoms are the same, they wouldn't show up so early. It's just a side effect of the pill. I was nauseous, cramping, had weird discharge, and about 4 or 5 days later, I had light spotting that I thought was implantation bleeding. My period was late, and at the same time, I started throwing up; I thought it was morning sickness. Two weeks after my missed period, I took a pregnancy test because they are most accurate 7+ days after your normal period, and it was negative. I was SO RELIEVED. Just now, almost 3 1/2 weeks later, I got my period. Just relax and don't think about it the pill definitely works."

Mirena (levonorgestrel) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I had Mirena inserted Feb 2020 to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding due to fibroids. For the first 2 months, I was bleeding nonstop. 8 months later, I still have heavy bleeding. I don't think it is working for me, but my doctor said to give it a year."
