For Emergency Contraception "My husband and I had unprotected sex and noticed we messed up. We already have 3 kids and struggling so I took My Way. It did its job I ended up not getting pregnant but the side effects were not worth it. It's been 6 months since I've used it and still having 2 periods a month and painful ovulation. Both symptoms I have never experienced before using the pill. I'd rather have been pregnant than constantly in pain all month long."

For Emergency Contraception "Took My Way 6 hours after having unprotected sex. He actually came inside me with no condom on. My period was 5 days late. No pain before period came or after taking the pill. Cramps are more intense than usual during period but other than that, no side effects. This pill works."

For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex and took this about 3 hours afterwards. I was so scared for so long! I had about two days of light bleeding a week before my period was supposed to come. I was afraid it was implantation bleeding! But it wasn't! Hallelujah!!! The pill definitely mucked up my cycles for a while. My next period didn't come for two months. Anyway, if you are freaking out about the possibility of being pregnant, take a breath. I know how scary it is. It is absolutely terrifying. But this pill works! You are going to be ok!"

For Emergency Contraception "I took my way exactly 6 hours after unprotected intercourse. Didn't have sex after that. And yet I still got pregnant. I've taken it before on a separate occasion over a day after intercourse and it worked. So I was completely shocked it failed even after taking it so soon"

"Ladies, if you're reading this and worried the pill won't work, relax and try not to stress because it does. And thank you to everyone who posted their experiences, reading them helped me not stress. My boyfriend and I had protected sex on Saturday and the condom broke at some point that I'm not sure of. I took this 6 hours later. I experienced light cramping and then got my period a few days early. I was also fertile when the incident occurred so I was extra nervous. If you take the pill as soon as possible and before 72 hours, then you will be okay!"

For Emergency Contraception "*Ladies this is a real experience. I had unprotected sex around the time I was ovulating. So the chances of me getting pregnant was pretty high. I took the pill 24 hours later with my dinner and I was worried it wouldn't work. At first I didn't get any symptoms then a couple days to a week go by and I started to experience early pregnancy like symptoms. Today, I got my my period on time so relax it works . "

For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex and took MY WAY within an hour afterwards. I got my period a whole week early. (6 days after taking the pill) Cramps were bad but they always are. Here it is a month afterwards and I didn’t start my period for this month. I am now 8 days late of my period for this month. Not sure if the pill worked for sure. I keep taking pregnancy test and they keep saying negative. So I'm just confused at this point. HELP !"

For Emergency Contraception "All I can say is relax ladies! It has over a 95% success rate. I had unprotected sex while I was ovulating and took the pill about 10 hours later. No side effects whatsoever for almost 2 weeks (Mind you I'm well above the "weight limit" for the pill). Then, my boobs started hurting so bad I couldn't bare it. I even had some spotting which freaked me out! It really messes with you, but in the end, I got my period! The longest 3 weeks, but it worked!"

For Emergency Contraception "I rarely leave reviews but some woman out there is reading this who is nervous and curious so here’s my story: I Took My Way ONE day after the “slip up” (NOT EVEN 48hrs) however it was also one day before ovulation for me. I was super nervous reading reviews of other women who said it delayed their cycles, hoping that’ll be my story too, nope!! IT DID NOT WORK!!! My period never came and my pregnancy test came back positive!! This was my first time ever taking this generic brand of Plan B but it was the only one my pharmacy had. I’m not sure if it’s because I was so close to my ovulation date but it definitely did not work!"

For Emergency Contraception "I normally don’t write on these forums but I have to share my experience. I had unprotected sex 5 days before my period came and I took it minutes after the incident. I’m currently 5’4 and 143lbs. I was nervous because it was my first time taking My Way. Close to my period I kept getting period symptoms like headache, acne, fuller and tender breast etc 1 day past, 2 day, 3 day. At this point I was freaking out. I just decided to forget about it and face reality whatever happens happens. Guess what? FIVE DAYS LATER AND ITS FINALLY HERE. Once you follow the instructions don’t be worried. Even though it’s cheap it definitely works no need to freak out. As far as symptoms after the drugs I didn’t have any"

For Emergency Contraception "So I took My Way after my husband and I had unprotected sex. I did wait one day to take it, but the guidelines state within 36 hours is the most effective. Well I'm now 5 weeks pregnant. Ugh. I know everything will work out and this baby will be a blessing, but come on! I know we had sex during my peak ovulation period and so the pill may not have worked bc apparently it only is effective if you're ovulating, which is probably something that should be mentioned on the box."

For Emergency Contraception "Ladies calm down!! It will be ok!! I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on February 17. The next day within the 24 hour period I got my way. I had very bad back pains and abdominal pains. That last a few days. The next day I took my way I had some spotting. I was expecting my period on February 25 but I didn't get it until today! I was so stressed out I even took a test. Ladies, your period may be late. It's normal. Don't worry. You'll be ok!! Such a weight off of my shoulders."

For Emergency Contraception "I have used the My Way emergency pill a few times now after having unprotected sex. This time I used it just as I would have used it in the past but this time my period was 8 days late. I was afraid to take a pregnancy test so I looked at some reviews before taking the test. I read that a few women experienced late periods while others wrote about how the pill had failed to protect them from pregnancy. Well my new experience is the same as those women whom the pill had failed. I am pregnant after taking the pill only hours after having unprotected sex. Although this pill has worked for me in the past, it has not worked now. Just wanted to share my unbelievable experience. It’s shocking and a lesson learned for real. Condoms are the better option."

For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex two days after my period ended. I took the plan b within 12 hours. Two days later I started bleeding lightly and it lasted 3-4 days. I didn't think this was a normal period so I still expected to get mine at the normal time. I didn't come. I freaked out. I was one week late and decided to take a pregnancy test. Negative! That same night I started my period. Maybe the light bleeding was the plan b working and it reset my cycle because 28 days after that I got my period. I'm now on birth control. No kiddos for me thank you very much. Thanks plan b!!"

For Emergency Contraception "my story starts out the same as many, but I was having sex with my boyfriend and somehow the condom slipped off (and actually got stuck inside me ew) and I'm not on birth control. my boyfriend did not cum inside me but precrum is a real thing and there was no way I was taking any risks, both of us being 18 and definitely not ready for a kid. so we went to the drug store and got the generic brand and I ended up taking it about two hours after. no dramatic symptoms really, just some headaches, fatigue, bloating and breaking out. when I was took My Way I was due for my period for another two weeks and believe me those were the most nerve wracking two weeks of my life. but this morning I FINALLY got my long awaited period and I feel so relieved"

For Emergency Contraception "I took My Way emergency contraceptive this morning b.c I had unprotected sex early Thursday morning (at like 3-4am) I’m happy to say I didn’t feel anything like I didn’t even take it but I will be back when I get my period to share with y’all this drug actually works like. I’m hoping cause I’m already a single mom of 2 Irish twins with no support and I don’t need anymore children atm. So fingers crossed lady’s I will be back to update!"

For Emergency Contraception "I read reviews after taking this medication and it made me want to throw it up immediately, but not everyone is the same and I obviously needed it if I took it...a little less than 24 hour later and I'm having tightness in my chest and SEVERE abdominal cramping."

For Emergency Contraception "My boyfriend and I had sex on my fertile week but he did not finish inside me. I took this pill as precaution 48 hours after that. I'm not pregnant so that's a good thing. Delayed my period for 3 days , that freaked me out for a bit. Also got intense PMS symptoms - intense back pain and mood swings during the first 2 days of period. Ovulation was a bit uncomfortable- the first time I could actually feel it. Other than that it worked well. Will start on birth control so that I don't have to experience the horrible mood swings anymore"

For Emergency Contraception "The first couple of weeks was terrible, I was very emotional and had frequent abdominal pains. I was also scared that I could be pregnant, but don't freak out. The contraceptive pill does work, just immediately take it after unprotected sex and you should be okay."

For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex twice within a couple of days from each other. I nearly maxed out the recommended 3 day window before I took My Way. Within a couple of weeks I received what would have been my period however it wasnt a full out period. I had a heavy flow for 2 days and it was nearly gone after that. I thought it had worked but lately I've been nervously awaiting my next period to come. Still questioning the pills effectiveness I decided to go ahead and take a pregnancy test. Turns out I won't be a mother after all! My experience with Plan B and My Way were totally different. Between the two I had a more nerve wrecking experience this time around. Next time, save yourself the headache and wrap it up. Remember, it is not birth control."

For Emergency Contraception "I weigh about 180 pounds so it's always a hit or miss situation with the emergency pill. I've used the generic Plan B (Take Action, I believe was its name) before and that worked. I've taken My Way before and it worked, but this time was different. My partner and I were using a condom, but had broke and he had precummed into me. We slept together a few days before my period was supposed to come. I wasn't worried until the day my period was supposed to come, had passed. I was freaking out of course (even though I wasn't ovulating), but I still had about 12 hours to take the pill. I was ready to beat the clock. I went to the pharmacy and got the pill. Took it with about 11 hours to spare. 6 days later, I got my period. IT WORKS!"

For Emergency Contraception "I had spontaneous unprotected sex with my child's father. I took the pill less than 20 hrs 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. Waited 2-3 more weeks and no period. I'm currently not pregnant because I took dong quai and vitamin c."

For Emergency Contraception "I took this weighing 145 lbs and 5'6". Took My Way, not expiring till 2017, within three hours of sex. I read that over 165lbs it becomes less effective but apparently 145lbs is in the less effective range too, I am now 8 weeks pregnant. Beware."

For Emergency Contraception "Had period July 9-14, unprotected sex on the 25th (supposed to be ovulating). Bought the pill and took it within 3 hours. Didn't notice any symptoms Anyway supposed to get my period August 8 but it never came I was freaking out bc I had spotting and pain on my right side. Bf convinced me to be patient and wait, 10 days later I got my period with the worst cramps ever! Will take a test soon just to be extra sure but I'm glad this worked when I had my doubts & expecially during ovulation"
