For Emergency Contraception "This product overall did its purpose, which is prevention of pregnancy. I did have bleeding about 6 days after I took the pill. Cramping that was not normal, and my 28-day cycle was off, I ended up 4 days late. Those were the worst 4 days of my life, by the way. But overall, I'm not pregnant, so I'm happy. But of course, the best thing you can do is practice safe sex, use condoms and birth control, and let this be a last resort."

For Emergency Contraception "I had sex Saturday after my period finished. The first condom broke, and he said he had come a little on it. So the next day, which was Sunday, I bought the contraceptive and took it. A few days later, on Thursday, I started spotting reddish brown, and the next day, which is today, Friday, I started bleeding heavily, like it was my period. Which is weird because I had just finished my period 6 days ago. By the way, I'm 18 going on 19. Is it normal?"

For Emergency Contraception "So I had unprotected sex about a week ago. The same day I was very worried and took Next Choice. I was very worried the whole time. The next day I woke up and I had all the symptoms that were on the package. I was nauseous, dizzy, and felt weak. About 3 days later I realized some bleeding. I was still unsure if I was prego or not. Today the bleeding was more severe. I did some more research and read that if there is bleeding then you are not prego. So I do recommend Next Choice even though the side effects can be a bother, but you don't end up prego, so that's good."

For Emergency Contraception "Four days after my period ended, I decided to have intercourse for the first time. As my luck would have it, I hadn't taken my birth control in 5 days due to my prescription running out, and the condom broke. Three hours later found me at my local Farm Fresh asking for Plan B (they gave me Next Choice instead). I took it and freaked out for six days. On the seventh day, I got my period again. The bleeding was really heavy, and the cramps were terrible, but I was ecstatic. Oh, and I weigh 178. It worked wonderfully. Best $40 I've ever spent."

For Emergency Contraception "Had unprotected sex the day after my period ended. Took Next Choice One Dose about 2.5 days later. Experienced a little nausea the next day and fatigue. Five days after I took Next Choice, I started heavy bleeding for a day and light spotting for a few more. I am currently 2 days late for my period, but I took a test, and it was negative. Fingers crossed that I'm just going to get my period late."
