Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "I had sex on November 23, it wasn't until after we realised the condom had broken. Went to the pharmacy, I managed to take Plan B about an hour and a half after sex. I realised after that I was about 3 days before ovulating, I was at high chance of getting pregnant. And of course I had read that Plan B doesn't work if you have already ovulated. On November 30 I started bleeding, this went on for 5 days. I thought it was implantation bleeding because my nipples were also sore and sensitive. But it was a very light flow compared to my regular period with few blood clots. My period was not due for another 2 weeks as well. A week after this, I had a thick white creamy discharge. I had to wear a pad for this. This went on for a week. My period was meant to be due on the 12th of December. I experienced breakouts, cravings, mood swings, extreme bloating, mild cramps. I was convinced I was pregnant. I got my period today on December 20, eight days late and I couldn't be happier."

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "I'm writing this for people who I know are probably trying to find relief in these reviews, and I did the same thing, so I'm going to offer my experience to help them out. My girlfriend and I had unprotected sex. I was nervous, so she took Plan B about 26-28 hours afterward, and then the terrible waiting began. Around day 7 and 8, she started spotting and cramping, and finally, on the 9th day, she got her period. So, relax, because this pill is very effective."

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "WORKED!! I had unprotected sex while ovulating (smh) and my partner came inside of me. We both knew and I took the plan b between 5-8 hours after sex. The date was Nov 4. And I was expecting my period Nov 21. I spotted for 4 days before my period came. My period came but was 5 days late and was irregular. So yes I was scared. I also was having pregnancy symptoms like crazy. Extremely sore breast, fatigue, and nausea. Even tho my period came, it was over in 3 days and I was still a bit nervous due to it being irregular and the symptoms I was having. So of course I was freaking out and overthinking about the plan b not working. But I got my 2nd period on time and it was regular also negative test!! Best 50 dollars I’ve ever spent. Stop worrying girl and stop reading reviews! It’ll work. Give it time"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "Me and my boyfriend had protected sex on April 15th. Unfortunately, the condom broke. I took Plan B One-Step about 20-30 minutes later (the sooner you take it, the better it works). My period was due in another week, so the anxiety began. I was very sleepy and sick to my stomach for about 6 days, but I just got my period! I've never been so happy. If you took the pill within a 24-hour time frame, you have nothing to worry about. Stress will cause your period to delay even more. Just relax, you'll be okay. This pill is very effective. Accidents happen, and that's okay. Plan B is only for emergency use though. I am so glad women have the option of this."

Take Action (levonorgestrel) "ahhh. So on Sept 29 my boyfriend came in me during sex. (I’m not on birth control) so later that night I got a take action from Walgreens. This was about 10 hours after the incident and I took it immediately. This was also 13 days before my period so I think that means I was fertile? Anyways, it’s been 2 weeks and I still feel nausea, I have mood swings, worst cramps ever, changes in bowel movements, and just waiting for some sort of blood. My period is supposed to start around the 10th of every month, and I’m pretty sure my period is starting but it’s a day late. I’ve taken several pregnancy tests every morning when I wake up and they have all been negative and it’s been 15 days now. I will add to this if anything else happens, but so far I think it worked?! Side effects are brutal though"

My Choice (levonorgestrel) "I’ve Taken My choice 3 times and each time it worked. My boyfriend came inside me around Wednesday 3pm while I was ovulating on my most Fertile day. The next day (Thursday) around 10am so about 19 hours later I took a My Choice pill with some water. Later I started googling and got scared bc everybody was saying how It wont work if your already ovulating which is a lie. The only bad thing about it were the side effects. My breast hurt for DAYS they were so sore and my cramps were unbearable they lasted for about a week straight also my legs were hurting the first couple of days and I had a bad headache. The symptoms are similar to early pregnancy symptoms so I would advice not to google anything just wait the 2 weeks out and try to keep yourself busy. But emergency contraception DEFINITELY WORKS EVEN WHEN YOUR OVULATING! Just take it as soon as possible! I took 4 pregnancy tests they all came out negative and I started my period today so I'm happy!"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "I had unprotected sex on my most Fertile day (June 9) according to flo app. I took the pill within two hours. The pill did work so it did not prevent pregnancy. By that I mean I had side effects spotting and thickened cervical mucus. I thought my period was late because of the large dose of hormones, I had a regular period. I was 33 days late when I found out I was pregnant"

Aftera (levonorgestrel) "First of all, I just want to start off by saying this emergency contraception works GOOD. Some of the reviews were saying that this “aftera” pill is cheap and doesn’t work, well let me tell you all that’s false. Aftera has worked wonders for me about 13 times, I’ve taken this pill various times and it’s worked every time (regardless if you’re ovulating or not). Price doesn’t always matter as long as it’s a reasonable price. I started using aftera because plan b was out of stock, personally I prefer aftera over plan b. They both contain 1.5 mg of levonorgestrel so there’s really no difference besides pricing. But for some reason plan b always makes me spot, cramp up, and nauseous. Ladies don’t let bad reviews get to you, everyone’s situation is different and it also depends on how long after sex you took the pill."

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "I only was going to post a review if it worked so here I am. I used plan b and didn’t really have side effects the day I took the pill. I Was concerned for my weight the pill wouldn’t work. I missed my period that month and took three tests, all negative in three weeks. To my surprise the month after I got my period a little heavier than normal. I was an anxious mess the whole time but like other women said you have to trust the process."

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "I want to share my experience and hopefully ease your mind. I had sex with a friend on 02/16 it was the 9th day of my cycle (my cycle is always regular and varies from 28 to 30 days). We were a bit drunk so the condom got stuck inside of me with a lot of precum in it, I took the pill 6 hours after that. I had no immediate symptoms however a week after taking it my breasts were super sore and I couldn’t get up from my bed. I had no spotting but two weeks after taking the pill (one week before my scheduled period) I started to have intense cramps and mild bleeding, the next day I got my normal period! 6 days before scheduled! I got on BC immediately because honestly the pills makes you feel like you’re pregnant. Be safe and good luck :)!"

Take Action (levonorgestrel) "I got the pill at walmart because they were out of plan b so I got this one. Then after I took it I decided to look at the reviews and then oh my, they were all AWFUL of course that made me worry everyone was complaining about all the “side effects” and how overall it was just horrible so that mad me super worried soon after I took it. But all I can say is it was not bad at all!! No side effects besides and early period and some gnarly cramps but I’m used to that, it was nothing pills and a heating pad won’t fix! Also many people said it made they period a week longer but I can say that also did not happen to me even though it made me learn my lesson I would definitely take it again if I needed to and I just wanna you girls to know it’s OKAY YOU'LL BE GOOD!"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "I promised myself I would write a review on here because these comments really calmed my nerves over the last week. So I had lost my virginity on May 25th around 9pm. He did pull out but I was still worried about precum because he did not wear a condom so I went and got a plan b and took it within 19 hours. I was supposed to start my period 2 days after I had intercourse. After a week of anxiety and waiting I finally got my period today a week late! I did not have much symptoms other than mild cramping and some back pain as well. I also had some white discharge during that whole week. Take the pill as soon as you can! Take some deep breaths and pray. Everything will be okay. Good luck ladies!"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "I didn't think I'd be writing this but I realized there's probably a lot of scared women/men out there who need some help. IT WORKS. IT TAKES TIME BUT IT WORKS! Stressing out was the worst mistake during this because it will cause your period to delay even more. It made me depressed and the cramps are terrible. But once I woke up and went pee this morning, there it was. I've never been so happy to see my period!! Exactly a week after I had taken Plan B One-Step, it had finally come. My advice is to be patient and do things to get it off your mind. Looking at good reviews really helped me out!"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "It works! Took it like 20 mins after we had unprotected sex. I was so worried I cried and prayed. 12 days after I got my period I was so relieved. Trust me it works. They say that it doesn't work for overweight people but it does. I'm 195 lbs."

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "I just want to ease everyone’s minds that have taken the plan B while ovulating. I took the plan B pill and took an ovulation test and it showed 2 lines on it. So yes, I was ovulating. If you would google it, it says it does NOT work while ovulating. It did work for me while ovulating and the condom broke once after he finished, and then the next day he decided not to wear one. So girls, just give it some time to let the medicine do it’s thing. I landed up feeling some really bad PMS symptoms though, I felt dizzy, hot flashes, fatigued, tired even if you did absolutely nothing, and some mild cramps. I experienced no breakthrough bleeding, or any spotting. My period came only 1 day later than it should have. But while writing this on my period, I am super tired, have a headache, and I’m cramping in the front and on my lower back. This is the worse period I’ve had but I’d rated a bad period than a baby for right now."

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "I had unprotected sex without realizing it was the day that I was ovulating and took the pill within 17 hours. I experienced horrible stomach cramps, nausea, and lower back pain but no period for 8 days and started to get really worried! I was convinced I was pregnant and kept looking at forums for information on pregnancy symptoms and implantation bleeding. Luckily on the 9th day, I was very relieved to see I had started my period, and I was having sleepless nights for nothing. It's an excruciatingly long wait, but it's worth it so just hang in there. It definitely works, it may just take a while!"

Take Action (levonorgestrel) "Please do not be discouraged ladies! Take Action worked for me. I took it within 36 hours with a full bottle of water. I was nauseous for about two days and other than that I was fine. No other side effects. My period came about a week early. My current weight is 203 pounds. I know this drug is not 100% effective but there is a HUGE possibility that it will work. #BeBlessed"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "Promised myself I would come back on here to ease the minds of many as this was the only site that eased mine. Had totally unprotected sex on January 31st 2022 my husband fully came in me. I am not on any form of birth control. Checked my Flo app and was completely in my ovulation timeframe. Confirmed with white stretchy cervical mucus I was as fertile as I could be. Took Plan B less than 12 hours after and researched and panicked for the next 2 weeks. Stay off google it will make you SICK with worry. Took 2 negative pregnancy test on 2/11 and 2/15 and just started my period this morning 2/17/22. Stay off other sites and trust these real stories. And yes I had every “pregnancy symptom” in the book. Tender breast, nausea, slight cramping. The hormones from the pill can cause these symptoms too. Hope this calms someone down!"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "I took Plan B exactly 36 hours afterwards. I was ovulating when everything went down, and I was so scared that I had waited too long to take Plan B. After 9 painfully long (but symptom-free) days, I got my period. Much heavier than usual, but no complaints from me! My advice to all who were as stressed as me: wait it out. Eat healthy, exercise to jumpstart your period, and try your best to stay calm!"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "So me & a friend got really drunk & we ended up having sex, which I only have flashbacks of. He doesn't remember anything, so I chose to tell him we didn't do it because I didn't want him to know he was the one who took my virginity. So I took the pill about 40 hours after, I was extremely scared!! Only thinking the worst. Then 7 long days later, I got my period!!! I had really bad cramping. I wanted to share my story because a lot of yours helped me calm my nerves! Xoxo"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "So my boyfriend and I had sex on Monday and Wednesday, and both days he came in me. I was in my ovulation week, and Wednesday was my ovulation day. I took a Plan B on Wednesday like an hour later, and I went on Google and started PANICKING because it said that Plan B doesn't work during your ovulation week. I came on here and read all the reviews, and it calmed me a bit. A week before my period, I was getting cramps and thought they were implantation cramps. But I got my period the day I was meant to get it. The Plan B works; you just have to trust it, plus you never actually know the day of your ovulation. STOP GOOGLING THINGS, it will only make everything way worse. GOOD LUCK, GUYS!"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "THIS WILL WORK. DO NOT STRESS. I cannot say that enough. I have taken Plan B twice. Both times I took it because the condom broke (without us realizing) and my boyfriend came inside me. Also, both times were during the portion of my cycle when I was pretty fertile. My advice: take it as soon as possible! I always took the pill within 3 hours after the condom broke (24hr pharmacies rock lol). However, many of my friends have taken it a day or two after and they have all been fine too. But save yourself the extra stress and just take it as soon as possible! :) Ignore the negative posts. The people saying it hasn't worked are probably lying pro-life wackos or people who took it like 5 days after the incident. You'll be fine!!"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "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."

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "Long story short had unprotected intercourse with someone I knew I did not want a kid by, he came inside of me 1 day into my fertile window 3 days before ovulation I was scared out of my mind and the plan B symptoms didn’t help achy boobs and headaches happy to say though 3 days late I have my period so don’t worry it works just read the reviews to keep you calm and stay away from google I’m also about 10 pounds over the weight limit and I took it 12 hours after intercourse"

Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel) "I promised I'd write a review since these comforted me. If you're looking for a sign it will be okay, this is it. I drank too much with my ex & well we didn't use protection. He finished inside me. I took the pill within an hour. I was drinking so I didn't notice nausea but did have it the next day. I expected my period Nov 1st & I'm very regular. I was late! I've never used a period tracker before but when I found out about the ovulating clause, I started doing all sorts of calculations. I was on my fertile week, the day of or before ovulating. Nov 2nd, I started feeling PMS symptoms & getting pinkish discharge like I was beginning my period but nothing else.I t was like this for DAYS. I was convinced I was pregnant. The day I usually finish, my period CAME! Heavy! Don't worry if you're late give yourself a week. STOP GOOGLING STUFF! Get rest. The internet will convince you a runny nose means you're pregnant. All you can do is wait, it's the worst, but it's working just give it time."
