"My Way worked for me as emergency contraception. To help other users decide if this is right for them, here is some information about my situation: I regularly take B.C. pills Ortho-Novum 1/35. This month, I messed up the first week of my pack. I missed Tuesday, had unprotected sex on Wednesday, but then missed Thursday too. (I made up the missed pills according to pack instructions.) Technically, that was two missed pills in the first week following my period, so I took My Way on Friday afternoon because there was a risk for pregnancy. I continued the rest of the pack normally. I did not experience any side effects, unlike with Plan B One Step. My period came one day late during the placebo pills (week 4 of the pack). I am 24, 4'11" and under 90 lbs."

"If you’re reading these reviews, you’re probably just as nervous as I was. As you’ve heard before, everyone reacts to emergency contraceptives differently, but I do have to say that I had NO problems with this pill. I took the pill approximately 42 hours after unprotected sex. I was very worried because I read the reviews and was hoping I wouldn’t end up pregnant. It WORKS! I had zero side effects. I recommend this pill. Lastly, do not worry!"

"Sharing my experience with this drug. This was my first time, and I took it last Dec 10, had some bleeding 7 days later - not sure if it was a period, but I think it's just bleeding from the pill since it was not as long as my regular period. I took a pregnancy test a week after that, and came out negative. I was supposed to get my period on the 27th, but it didn’t come. 4 weeks later, I still don’t have my period. Because of the stress, I’ve been taking weekly pregnancy tests which were all negative results. I didn't get the worst symptoms, but I did notice my breasts got swollen, my stomach was bloated, and slight cramps. Thankfully, yesterday (Jan 23, 11 p.m.), I got my period! I waited until today to make sure if it's my period and not just bleeding. The flow is very different and even the color of blood. So yeah, I do recommend, but if you are sexually active, highly recommended to have a birth control plan. For anyone reading this, hopefully, you'll be fine!"

"The most stressful time of my life. I wish I found this page early on to help me cope. So, a month ago, I had unprotected sex and a few hours after that, I took the My Way pill for the first time. Long story short, I started spotting 7 days before my periods (which has never happened before), 7 days during my periods (just spotting instead of periods), and 7 days during my ovulation cycle (which has never happened before either). After a week of no blood, I got another week of 5 days of spotting, and on the 6th day, my periods finally started, and I’ve never been this relieved in my life. So, I was literally not one day, not one week, but one month late on my periods. I took so many pregnancy tests, and all of them turned out to be negative every single time while having every single pregnancy symptom I read about. Morning sickness, sensitivity to smell, hunger, cravings, tiredness, sore breasts, mood swings, back pain… you name it, I had it all. What crazy side effects."

"This is our story with the My Way pill. You are probably looking for a review that is worth reading, right? Don't worry, I tell you that my girlfriend and I had unprotected sex due to the condom breaking, and I finished inside her. It was before her ovulation phase, since sperm can live 5 days inside. I was so scared, I was nowhere near being a father. I'm only 19, going to college. The next day, we bought the My Way pill since it was cheaper before the 24-hour window. It was a month of hellish waiting for her period, but I trusted the pill. In her month, she showed no signs, no spotting, no dizziness, and no common side effects that My Way users might experience. After a month, we got scared because her period did not come on the exact date she was told to by our app. She was delayed for 4 days and experienced a heavy flow. It was a hellish month, but trust the pill. Research its symptoms and effectiveness. I recommend keeping track of your ovulation phase too, to help prevent pregnancy. TRUST THE PILL! Try not to stress!"

"I got my period just recently and had sex with my boyfriend. Unfortunately, the condom broke and happened to get inside me. I'm only 20 years old and can't afford to have a baby. My boyfriend and I searched online and found a place that was selling the morning-after pill. In the country I live in, these kinds of drugs are very rare to find, so I was glad I found one. I took the pill three hours after having been with my boyfriend. Before taking these pills, we had done some research on how it works, and I also found a review that made me not feel stressed out about taking this. Five days after taking the pill, I got plenty of symptoms that were similar to having my period, then in the morning, I got my period. My period was earlier, I actually just finished my period recently around 7 days ago. On the second day, my period was heavier, but I wouldn't be surprised since this is one of the things that could happen."

"I took My Way 7 days ago. I had a week of anger and tears, my breasts swelled and didn’t fit in my bras. Breasts went down yesterday, I felt calmer. But tonight they're painful and swollen again. I’ve been pregnant before, and I remember vividly noticing breast changes, but I doubt in the 1st week. It nearly always throws off your expected period, so expect that. It does NOT cause miscarriage from “chemicals.” It contains a very high dose of hormones, 1.5 mg, this is a major side effect. Please read up on it and track your cycle!"

"I'm 39 and my last period was on 12/14/16. My cycle is usually 27 days and always on time. Had unprotected sex once this month on the 17th day of my cycle, which shows 2 days after ovulation (Dec 30th 5 AM). He pulled out. Wasn't sure about taking a MAP but took the 'My Way' pill anyway on Jan 2nd (a little over 72 hrs) for my own sanity. I've been crampy, clear discharge with white strings (sorry, TMI), gassy, felt slight nausea. EP was yesterday 1/10, so I'm 1 day late. I plan on testing on 1/13. I will post results. I read that it could be up to 48-56 days before I see a period with negative tests. Paranoid."

"I had spontaneous unprotected sex with my child's father. I took the pill less than 20 hours after sex and found that I was spotting about a week later, and my breasts were swollen. I never spot and never for just a day, so I knew I was pregnant because of the experience with my daughter. I waited 2-3 more weeks and no period. I'm currently not pregnant because I took dong quai and vitamin C."

"I took the My Way pills right away after unprotected sex. My boyfriend finished inside. Later that, I was checking my calendar, it was my ovulation week. I am so worried right now. I hope it will work. I'm not ready to be a parent. I still have to wait two more weeks to get tested."

"This is my first time using the My Way pill. I weigh 175 lbs, though, so I'm not sure if it will work. I will do an update in two weeks when I take a pregnancy test."

"I took My Way immediately after unprotected sex. It did not work. I still got pregnant. Apparently, it doesn't work if you're ovulating."

"I took the pill after 13 hours of act. Even after 10 days of my due date, I've not gotten my periods. I tested today, which came out negative. Could I be pregnant?"

"I used My Way because it was much cheaper than paying $50 for the other brand. I can live my life peacefully because most emergency contraceptives are really expensive."

"I took My Way contraceptive pill 7 hours after the event. I was a bit worried when I read most of the comments. It makes me worried a lot, you just have to take it before the 48 hours."
