For Emergency Contraception "Taken this a few times. If you're freaking out...STOP. It works EVERY TIME. Sooner the better though. But because I know it can be taken within 72 hours...I actually forgot to buy one time within 72 hours and it still worked. Took it 5 days afterwards and still did its job. Never had any symptoms except one time got slightly nauseous but it did not last long at all."

For Emergency Contraception "I decided to write a review because I went through a hell of a situation and was fortunately able to overcome it, so with that being said, I had unprotected sexual intercourse a day before my ovulation was due. I took the emergency contraception pill 5 hours later. I felt okay after the first 2 weeks of taking the pill, but I had nausea and fatigue. Because I didn't see a period after 2 weeks of taking the pill, I began panicking. I found these reviews, and somehow I felt calm because my situation related to so many women here, and they didn't end up pregnant. So I could possibly also not end up pregnant, till I decided to just focus on other things because something in me kept telling me that I wasn't pregnant. So after a really long wait (1 month and 2 weeks), my period arrived finally. I couldn't be happier. So to every girl going through an experience of the sort, just keep calm (especially if you took the pill within 24 hours), everything will be alright."

For Emergency Contraception "• 1/21 unprotected sex, no withdrawal, 1-2 a.m. (thanks, Wine) • Checked period tracking app. It was day 1 of my ‘fertile window’. Took Plan B 12 hrs later. • Cycle is irregular, so unsure when I was ovulating. • 1/27 spotting, sort of brownish red quickly changed to light pink. Not heavy enough for a tampon. Googled & thought this could be implantation bleeding. • Sporadic spotting continues for 8 days. • 1/29 INCREDIBLY sore breasts, very tired, aching and cramping in back and hips. • Most of those things are standard for my body with PMS (minus the spotting). • 2/5 Aunt Flo has come. Period is early. And heavy. Definitely no longer spotting. 2 weeks stressed, convinced myself I was pregnant and symptoms were coinciding with that. I took 4 pregnancy tests. I lost sleep. I read like, 40 pages of reviews on this website. (What a psycho) Don’t be like me. Trust this medicine and your body."

For Emergency Contraception "These reviews truly kept me from having a total meltdown, and I was so hopeful I’d be able to come back to write one of my own - and here I am! TRUST. THIS. PILL. and trust these reviews! I swear if I hadn't found this page and so many encouraging words, I would have continued to have a stress spiral and further delay my period. I had sex on 2/7, and the condom broke upon ejaculation. This was during my ovulation window, as my period was scheduled for 2/15, and we got a Plan B the next morning, about 7 hours later. For the past week, I’ve been a hormonal mess, gained a few pounds from stress eating, and had extremely tender breasts. I found these reviews about two days ago, and I swear the amount of reassurance + comfort they gave me alleviated the worst of my stress, and I got my period in full yesterday (2/16)! I’ve never been happier to have cramps and feel my uterus shed every time I stand up LOL. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE HERE!!!! And if you’re worried, I promise this should work!"

For Emergency Contraception "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."

For Emergency Contraception "I had sex on November 23, it wasn't until after we realized the condom had broken. I went to the pharmacy and managed to take Plan B about an hour and a half after sex. I realized after that I was about 3 days before ovulating, so I was at a 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, and 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."

For Emergency Contraception "First of all, THANK GOD!! I took the pill on September 7th, and my period was supposed to come on September 21st. I ended up being 22 days late for my period, my period just came today, Oct. 15. While I was waiting for my period, I experienced dull cramps near my pelvis area and lots of discharge. Nonetheless, it came, and I couldn’t be happier."

For Emergency Contraception "Ladies, do not panic! I had sex with my boyfriend 6 days before ovulation (4 weeks ago), and the condom slipped off and was inside me. He did not finish, and I took the Plan B pill hours later just in case because precum can be effective too. I had the symptoms and was nervous as ever reading reviews and all. My period arrived yesterday, yay!"

For Emergency Contraception "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."

For Emergency Contraception "I've promised myself to write a review of this pill too. I took Escapelle - generic brand. My period ended on the 5th of Dec '19 and had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on the 8th. I took a pill an hour later. He pulled out in time but I was paranoid. We had protected sex on the 11th. Around a week after taking the pill, I bled. I was worried it was implantation bleeding. It lasted 3 days but was light. I panicked. I waited for my period that should fall on the start of the month, I got nothing. I was constantly bloated and nauseous. I thought it would come on the 14th of Jan, a month after my 'short period' but it didn't. I couldn't focus and I cried a lot. My boyfriend was supportive. Although he was scared too, he promised he'd stay with me. It made things better. My breasts were sore and my nipples hurt for days. Until finally, on the 27th of Jan, I got my period! It was normal. My period was 26 days late. If you panicked like me, it's fine to worry. Everything will be fine. :D"

For Emergency Contraception "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 on 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 breasts, fatigue, and nausea. Even though 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 a negative test!! Best 50 dollars I’ve ever spent. Stop worrying, girl, and stop reading reviews! It’ll work. Give it time"

For Emergency Contraception "I know if you're reading this, it is because you want to get your period too, huh? Yes, obviously so. For me, I had unprotected sex 2 days after my ovulation day (according to my Flo app). I was so careless this time because I was depending on taking Plan B after, and I was so excited to try out plain sex, and I did, and took the pill 14 hours later. To my disappointment, I googled, and it said Plan B doesn't work after ovulation, and research has proven it. Honestly, I was so scared that I cried because I'm still a college student, and I live with my parents, so it was a total disaster. But all thanks to the comments I saw on this site, I tried to relax a bit, though it was hard. And today, I just got my period, it has come a little bit earlier, but at least I'm not pregnant."

For Emergency Contraception "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!"

For Emergency Contraception "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!!"

For Emergency Contraception "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!"

For Emergency Contraception "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"

For Emergency Contraception "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!"

For Emergency Contraception "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 that 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."

For Emergency Contraception "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 birth control immediately because, honestly, the pill makes you feel like you’re pregnant. Be safe and good luck :)!"

For Emergency Contraception "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."

For Emergency Contraception "Long story short, I had unprotected intercourse with someone I knew I did not want a kid by. He came inside of me one day into my fertile window, three 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, three 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 ten pounds over the weight limit, and I took it twelve hours after intercourse."

For Emergency Contraception "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, and 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 on November 1st, and 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. On November 2nd, I started feeling PMS symptoms and getting pinkish discharge like I was beginning my period, but nothing else. It 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."

For Emergency Contraception "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 my 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. I definitely would not put myself through that stress again, but I can definitely say this pill worked for me."

For Emergency Contraception "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 its thing. I ended 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 worst period I’ve had, but I’d rate a bad period over a baby for right now."

For Emergency Contraception "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 9 pm. 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 many 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!"
