For Emergency Contraception "So I read the reviews before I took this and I was very hesitant to take it but unfortunately Walmart was out of Plan B and this was the only option. The app I use to track my cycle is very accurate and I just so happened to be ovulating so I really wasn’t in a position to be picky about what I take. I waited over 24 hours to take it so I was kind of nervous it would not work but I got my period! It was four days early and my cycle is usually VERY heavy but it has actually not been too terrible to deal with. I had NONE of the symptoms that other people complained about. I did take this with food, I’m not sure if that made a difference. All in all, I would say my experience with this was 10/10"

For Emergency Contraception "I pre cumd a small amount inside of me when I lost my virginity with a small condom that broke inside of me. He finished outside of me luckily using the pull out method. Freaking out after his mom was nice enough to give me this pill. I spotted blood after a few days and it lasted for week. My last period was March 16th, I lost my virginity March 23rd, my ovulation wasn't due until a few days, my next period is not due till April 16th. My period never came. My side effects included, cloudy pee with white flakes, green poop, sore boobs and frequent urination. It is April 30th and I've finally gotten mine, that is around two weeks after my period was supposed to happen."

For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex, so i went and bought the Take Action Pill, I took it about 12-13 hours later. I was worried because I was a little over the weight limit, I was freaking out because some people were saying bad things about it. Now we had sex Sep. 2nd, didn’t get my period until Oct. 12 , other reviews I read got there period way sooner then I did and that’s what made me scared. I started to overthink that I may be pregnant, the fatigue/symptoms of this pill are very gnarly so please take that into consideration. I think my experience was wacky because I am a lot younger . Just remember “ the pill does mess with your cycle quite a bit so don’t stress too much, it will only drive you insane, this pill does do the job its supposed to. Don’t make the same mistake I have, USE PROTECTION!!" I hope this helped a lot of the younger women ease their minds a bit."

For Emergency Contraception "Condom broke and I found it out only when we finished. It was right after the last day of my period. I got Take Action emergency pill the next evening. In a week period came again. No any side effects, just normal cramps that I always have before my cycle. I can assume that it worked. Hope it was helpful to any one reading and worrying"

For Emergency Contraception "I had protected sex right after my period ended. Of course I got paranoid because I’m not on birth control, so I bought the take action pill. About a week later had a period, and haven’t stopped bleeding since. It’s spotty so it’s gone and comes back. It’s day 16 and now I’m still bleeding. No bad symptoms but I would really love to not have to wear a liner for 3 weeks straight. Very annoying"

For Emergency Contraception "Now, if you are like me, you're probably reading these comments and freaking out about the side effects. Hopefully this will help calm some of your nerves. So on September 30th I ended up having a drunken hook up with a guy I didn't know that resulted in me not remembering whether or not we used a condom (good job me). Anyways, you can imagine my stress right? Ended up buying this pill because wal-mart was all out of plan b and taking it about 18 hours later. I was SO nervous about it not working and about the side effects but I can honestly say that I didn't really experience anything outside of the usual pms symptoms (little bit of cramping, sore boobs etc.). Not bad at all! Had a little bit of spotting in the days leading up to my period but overall it came today right on time. Not pregnant!!! So don't worry ladies, this pill works and it isn't as bad as it may seem online. Don't worry, you will be fine!"

For Emergency Contraception "Okay, so we had it right during my ovulation window (12/08), he said he pulled out and was sure nothing happened, but of course, I was still paranoid, I come from a Hispanic family so this would really devastate my parents. After some heavily done research, I bought this pill at Walmart, I was a bit skeptical but I prayed and still took it. I took this pill about 28 hours later, I felt the side effects slightly (12/09). I expected my period throughout the 1 week expecting frame. It did not come. I started panicking, i was extremely scared. There were no words to explain how stressed i was. Luckily, about a week and 1 day of taking the pill(12/17), I noticed spotting, which can either signify a pregnancy or my period about to start. Next day Bam! My period came very heavy. Even though it came about a week early from my actual date.Unfortunately, it came with many cramps which I had to deal with. I learned my lesson from this scare :)"

For Emergency Contraception "I had sex on November 29, the condom broke. I went and bought this pill and I’ll never do it again. My period had just ended and I had sex. When I got this pill I took it the same day, a couple hours after. That week I had some red discharge for a couple days and then it completely stopped. My period was suppose to start a couple days before Xmas but still hasn’t came. Just took 2 pregnancy tests and both were NEGATIVE. Hoping my body recovers and goes back to normal in a couple weeks. Will update you guys on here. I was stressing out. It gotten some relief after taking both tests and seeing it was negative."

For Emergency Contraception "I've used it twice. First time was easy and got period a bit late but was still a success. However this second time was different. I had unprotected sex on May 28, took pill 45 min after and my period was due two weeks from that day. No crazy side effects. Fast forward end of June and I still had no sign of period. I was extremely worried and my prayer mode was on. July approached and my period was 3 weeks late! Still too scared to take a test because I was scared. But on July 3 I saw sign of period. Much different than my regular period though. Was very dark red almost brown all 5 days. No period symptoms (headache, acne, bloating, cramps, mood swings) and it was a lighter flow. To be on the safe side of things I decided to finally take the test and I fortunately received a negative result. If you’re reading through these reviews right now, relax. Stress caused mine to be extremely late. So once I calmed down i finally got it! I definitely do think this pill works."

For Emergency Contraception "DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL!!! My boyfriend had used it in the past with another woman and said it was fine but I’m used to plan b so I had doubts. We got the take action and I took it two days after having sex. I had VERY SEVERE CRAMPS in my pelvic area and lower back I FELT SO EXHAUSTED AND MY EMOTIONS WERE OFF THE WALL. I started bleeding the 3rd day after I took the pill and it is THE WORST PERIOD OF MY LIFE!!! I usually use regulars for a few days maybe 1 or 2 supers and a lite tampon at the end but I’ve NEVER bled through super plus tampons within 1-2 hours. Changing panties every 3 hours doubling up SUPER PLUS TAMPONS AND A SUPER PLUS PAD. I’ll wear the super plus pad at night by the morning it has overflowed. I’ve been bleeding like this for 10 DAYS and it’s the worst I’ve ever felt in my life. I’m still having severe pains and bad mood swings I even bust out in tears at random times. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL! The effect it has on your body is TERRIBLE!"

For Emergency Contraception "Ladies, listen up! I promised myself if this worked, I would leave a review and here we are. I came off birth control 3 months ago. My fiancé and I had unprotected sex and he came inside me. The next day about 20 hours later I took The generic form of plan B (take action). We had sex on the 17th and I was due to get my period around the 19th. I have a 21 day cycle so I know I wasn’t ovulating at the time of intercourse. A week went by, I was due to get it on the 26th and I started panicking. I had brown discharge for a day and a half. Of course I started googling (bad idea) because brown discharge can be a sign of implantation. I started cramping and my kidneys hurt and I finally just got my period. Your period can be over a week due. This works as long as you take it within the first 5 days. Don’t freak yourself out and try to relax. The waiting process is scary."

For Emergency Contraception "My bf came in me on December 15th I immediately went to Walgreens to get a plan B but they were out. So I got a take action pill instead. I took it around an hour after we had sex. My period was suppose to come on January the 12th but it didn’t. So I assumed the pill was going to cause me to be a few days late just like a Plan B would but nooo. This pill stressed me out!!!!! I was scared to take a pregnancy test because I didn’t want to know the answer but days kept on going by without my period but still I just waited it out. Then my period came on!…..BUT IT WAS 11 DAYS LATE! My periods are regular so I’ve never been so scared. It works but depending on your body you have to give it time. I also started my birth control the same day I took the take action pill. I also weigh over 230lbs and it worked for me. I hope this helps!"

For Emergency Contraception "Update: (I did a review on the 2020-01-18) So last time I said I took the pill after my boyfriend came in me, and I got my period early; same amount of blood, but ever since I didn’t get my period again for about a month. But after a month, I finally got my period! No bad cramps, no heavy flow. The only symptoms I really got from this pill were: late period and tender breast. I do recommend this pill if you just can’t afford Plan B! Take care ladies, for those stressing after taking the pill just relax. Goodluck!"

For Emergency Contraception "I had my cycle from September 4-8. I then had protected sex from September 14-16. During the 15th, the ejaculation had leaked out of the condom and we weren’t sure if any got on/in me. We went to Walmart within the first 3 hours after sex and got a take action pill, it was cheaper than the plan B. I took the pill right after with food. The first week or so, I was bloated/gassy. Then about a 1.5 weeks after taking the pill, my right nipple was so sore. I don’t know if that’s from taking the pill or if I somehow scratched my nipple and irritated it. That lasted for a few days. My cycle came on September 29th after having protected sex again. It’s lighter than normal and earlier than expected, but it’s here. I hope this helps someone. Believe in the pill. Stress will give you all sorts of pregnancy symptoms because you’re paranoid about being pregnant."

For Emergency Contraception "I just wanted to come on here and share my experience because reading these reviews really helped ease my anxiety! I had unprotected sex in the very early morning on Nov 1st 2021, and I took Take Action 26 hours later. I was 2 days away from my ovulation day and I was so so worried. About 2 weeks after taking the pill, I started spotting and it lasted for 3 days and my mind automatically went to implantation bleeding BUT a common side effect is spotting a week/two later. My boobs were so sensitive and I was experiencing back pain and some cramping. My expected period date was 11/18 and I'm just getting it today 11/22 (it started light in the am but it got heavy towards the pm) ladies you will be okay!! Try not to stress, you might experience some side effects and your period might be late but just breathe and let your body adjust to all the hormones! You’ll be okay :)"

For Emergency Contraception "I took this pill about 10 hours after I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend...and it DID NOT make me nausea or fatigue! The only thing that did happened was I had a few spots of blood and my period was just a little heavier, but the month after that my period was back to normal! I definitely recommend this pill! No worries"

For Emergency Contraception "I had my period on September 19th. My boyfriend and I had been drinking and had unprotected sex on the 30th. Right around the start of my ovulation, so I got the Take Action. I normally take My Way if this type of situation occurs because my insurance covers it but at the time I was still hungover and didn't call my dr to send in the prescription. So anyway I bought Take Action 16 hours after the incident. I started spotting on October 8th which freaked me out because my period wasn't due until the 16th. I have been bleeding/spotting since. I have taken 5 pregnancy test over the course of the week and all have been negative. Even went to planned parenthood for a test. They said this is a side effect of the take action. I still feel unsure due to all this spotting. My breast were sore and I had lots of gas all of sudden for over a week. I never had any issues with My Way or plan B in the past. Seeing all these other reviews make me feel better but still slightly concerned."

For Emergency Contraception "So I had a terrible one night stand. Took this October 1st during my ovulation period, one day after the incident. My period was expected to come on the 17th and didn’t arrive til the 26th. It was nine days late. I didn’t have any of the side effects some people are talking about. I’m not pregnant and that’s most important."

For Emergency Contraception "So I hate to have to say this but I’ve had to take this more than once due to condom mishaps ... but so far it has done its job, I usually grab this pill within the first couple hours, however once I grabbed it three days later due to money issues and it still worked. In addition I used this on my ovulation day and it worked! I always get my period 5 days after taking it as well, no matter when my period is scheduled to arrive. The side effects are very gnarly though, no exaggeration the cramps are beyond painful and the nausea and fatigue really kick in. But you’ll be okay, promise ladies just be patient ."

For Emergency Contraception "I took Take Action on Oct. 15th, 2 days after my boyfriend came in me. I was super stressed out not only because I wasn’t able to take it as quick as I wanted, but also because I was taking the “off brand” version of Plan B. The next week and a half after taking it, I felt so nauseous, I slept a lot, I had cravings, and I had my mind made up that I was pregnant lmaoo. 2 weeks go by from Oct. 15th, and I’m not that nauseous anymore but now my breast are so tender, usually right before my period this happens. Again, I was like yup, pregnant, gotta be. But then the next day, Oct. 27th, I got my period. Man was that a relief. The color was lighter than usual, but the amount of blood was the same, so I knew for sure it was an actual period. This works ladies, please do not stress yourself out. I was crying and overthinking for over 2 weeks, and it was terrible. All I can say is make better choices and ask about regular birth control (that’s what I’m doing!)"

For Emergency Contraception "Okay so I had unprotected sex the day after my period. I started panicking three days later and bought take action since there wasn’t any Plan B. I ended up seeing the scary reviews and not taking it that day but after a pregnancy dream I took it the next day on day 4. Needles to say I had no MAJOR symptoms. Just some headaches a bitttt of dizziness (which could’ve been caused by my anxiety) and I was super anxious because I was scared I was pregnant. Well 6 days later I started CRAMPING and then later I was bleeding and I bled for like a day and a half- 2 days. I’m almost certain it worked! I’ll keep you guys updated though !!"

For Emergency Contraception "Sooo... I’ve taken emergency contraceptives before. And have never had any issues. I purchased/took Take Action in February and it’s not the middle of April, and I STILL do not have my period. I am 46 days late. Every time my period is suppose to come, I have all the symptoms with no actual period. I’ve take. 6 pregnancy tests, and even tested at the doctor. All negative. When I took the pill, it did make me feel nauseous, and crampy. But waiting for my period has been very frustrating. And I’ve been working extremely tired. I would seriously consider all these reviews before purchasing this product. Years ago, I’ve taken Plan B and never had any of these side effects. I would put my money towards that vs Take Action. I’m glad I’m not pregnant, but it has completely messed up my hormones."

For Emergency Contraception "I never write reviews, but I said I would for this specific brand of emergency contraception. I figured why not save an extra $15 and get this brand. I will not do that again. I took this pill April 14th. One week later on April 21st I had what I thought was another period, 3 weeks early. I felt extremely fatigue and cramping. When the bleeding stopped I felt ok again. Fast forward a week or two, I just knew I was pregnant. I was having vivid dreams, sleeping a lot, intense cramping, breast changes, and just majority of early pregnancy symptoms. My second period after taking this came exactly a month after on May 21st. I am grateful to not be pregnant, but the side effects on this specific brand are horrible. I have taken other brands and none of them were this bad."

For Emergency Contraception "I'm writing to hopefully calm some nerves. 2 days after I ended my period, I had protected sex with my partner. While we were careful (he did not ejaculate inside me), we noticed the condom broke. I became frantic and decided to take emergency contraception (Take Action) just to be sure. I took the pill approximately 18 hours after sex. Within the first few days, I had the normal symptoms: spotting, nausea, etc. Within the next few weeks, I began to experience all the symptoms of pregnancy! Mood swings, frequent urinination, breast tenderness and extreme vaginal wetness! I was freaking out! There was absolutely NO sign of my period. I took 3 pregnancy tests, all negative. My period ended up being 6 weeks late. It was unnerving!"

For Emergency Contraception "I took Take Action 30 mins after condom failure. I was in my fertility window. Four days later I started bleeding for the next 5 days. I've had sore boobs since taking the pill and still do. I got my period on time. This pill does work!"
