For Emergency Contraception "My period is now 9 days and counting. I'm going to the doctor to figure out how to make this stop. Absolutely the worse pill I have ever taken. My period is not slowing down at all. This never happened with the Plan B pill. My partner is terrified something serious is wrong. I will never take this pill again!"

For Emergency Contraception "I took this medication about 45 minutes after having sex where the condom had ripped, my boyfriend had went to get plan b but we didn’t have enough money so he got take action instead. Once I took it I began looking at all these reviews and I was very nervous about how bad the symptoms where going to be. Today has been 6 days since I took the medicine, I didn’t have any of the terrible cramps or nausea other people had. I have also started my period two weeks earlier then normal. I was young and dumb and terrified but I’m glad I took the pill."

For Emergency Contraception "Do NOT take this brand! The night I took it I kept waking up in severe pain in my lower stomach that felt as bad as labor pain,the next day I started bleeding and it's been 2 weeks now and I have gone to see a Dr to learn more about it and this pill has progesterone in it which is making me feel SUPER cranky & on edge.dr said I'll probably bleed till my next period so no telling really how long the bleeding will continue for. I've used a different brand before(don't remember the name) but it wasn't as bad as this."

For Emergency Contraception "I'm in my early 20s with no birth control and have regular periods. I took this pill about 70 days ago and had my period a week after and bleed AGAIN a week after for a 1 day. I haven't had my period since and its been 48 days today since my last period. I took a pregnancy test last week and it came out negative. But today I feel so nauseous and shakey and I have hot flashes."

For Emergency Contraception "Long term effects for 2 months I used this pill in April’ every month I’m spotting when my period is usually always 5 days long combine with cramps I’ve been so bloated for 2 months with bad back pain weeks I was so tired couldn’t stay awake this month I’m much better I guess I’m trying to see people experience from the pill. If you've fallen pregnant from this pill what were your symptoms before finding out you were pregnant or how was your symptoms even after taking it. I don’t think I should be having side effects this long. Also I have frequent urination a lot. This is month 2 and still spotting. According to my calendar I’m late"

For Emergency Contraception "YALL DON'T LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS!!! I kid you not I have taken every brand of emergency contraceptive on the market and have never had a problem, they have always worked. The name and price difference means absolutely nothing if you look at the ingredients they are the EXACT same in every single one of them! If you use it PROPERLY then it will work, keep in mind if you have already ovulated there is not much this can do for you but if you use it in the right window it WILL work. Read the fine print people there are things that can cancel it out! All of the reviews saying it doesn’t work and they got pregnant, clearly are only a few out of heaps. The only side effects I’ve ever experienced are extreme mood swings but that’s the same as any birth control"

For Emergency Contraception "My boyfriend and I had sex the night before ovulation. The condom broke. REALLY poor timing. I went and took an ovulation test the next day and it lit up positive immediately. I took the pill and then had cramping for a week and had intense mood swings. But I got my period perfectly on time. The pill does work even if you’re ovulating!! Everything’s going to be okay sis!"

For Emergency Contraception "So I have normal 28 day periods that last for 5 days and I use the period tracker app. I had sex on July 9th and took take action within 24 hrs then had sex again on July 22nd. On the ninth he said he thinks a little came inside me but on the 22nd he came all the way in me. I had had my period on July 18th it only lasted for 3 days so I was like what’s going on. It is now August 20th and period tracker said my period was supposed to come on 15th and I haven’t had my period yet. I was having fatigue, soreness of nipples and mood swings. I took like 3 pregnancy test that all say negative. So I am going to PCP to do blood test to check for pregnancy."

For Emergency Contraception "On March 20th, I had unprotected sex and it felt like he came in me. Just to be safe, I took a pill (my second time with an emergency contraception). I experienced slightly heavy cramps and tender breasts, and I started to panic because these are side effects I rarely get even during my period. My period was supposed to come on the 23rd but nothing. on the 26th I got brown discharge and the next day I got my period. It has been slightly heavier than usual but better than being pregnant. This pill did slightly throw off my hormones and I got more side effects than when I used Julie, but overall it works! don’t panic it will come! just stay off the internet, it just makes you overthink."

For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex (the condom broke)and my boyfriend came all the way inside me. It was also during my fertile window.... a couple days before ovulation. I took a take action pill 1 hour after the incident. My last period was January 7-12 2019. It is now February 7, and my period is 4 days late. I don’t have any side effects from the pill. I’m taking a pregnancy test after 7 days of my period being late but hopefully I get it before then."

For Emergency Contraception "So I had sex Sept 25th and when I looked on my period tracker it was my last day of my fertile window. I rushed to Walgreens and got TakeAction and took it 2 and a half hours after the incident and after I had ate. I didn’t have any symptoms at all during the first week except like sharp pains in my stomach here and there. Then the second week I started to notice my nipples and breasts where sore I was getting happy because I thought it was a sign of my period coming. Ever since then I’ve been researching and looking at reviews and I’m scared that it didn’t work. My period was suppose to come October 8th and that’s today. And I still haven’t seen any blood"

For Emergency Contraception "ok so ..... Let me just start this off by saying I have used plan b before and it did not mess me up anywhere close to as badly as this pill did. I took Take Action a few weekends ago after a condom mishap with my boyfriend; everything was perfectly fine until a few days ago when I started to get incredibly nauseous and my boobs felt like they were being ripped off of my chest. My nipples have been so sore that I could barely sleep in a tshirt, and it hurt to even have the shower water hit them. Iwas thoroughly convinced that I was pregnant, as I’ve taken emergency contraception before and have never once experienced something like this. I got my period earlier today, so it worked in that aspect, but everything else I felt and the mood changes/panic I went through was not worth it. Just spend the extra $10 and get plan b."

For Emergency Contraception "me and my boyfriend had sex and we used Trojan ultra thin and the condom broke once so we put another one on and I told him to pull out just in case and he didn’t but things get heated sometimes so we both took responsibility and purchased the pill. I’ve been on a diet lately However this pill makes me want to eat all the time so if this happens to you don’t be alarmed (It maybe stress) so don’t stress out. I also didn’t think the pill was working because of the lack of symptoms however I started to get lower back soreness I took the pill 5 to 6 days ago I just took the pregnancy test and it came out negative. When the freak accident happened I came straight to the reviews and wished I had got plan b but this pill has saved my life so my advice is don’t stress and let the pill do it’s work."

For Emergency Contraception "Took this pill after my boyfriend forgot to pull out. Went to get Plan B and Walgreens said they weren't getting much Plan B due to covid. This has the same exact medication as Plan B in it, sometimes I hear both plan b and take action can cause your periods to come late mine was 2 days late but no pregnancy. It's like 5 to 10 dollars cheaper has the exact same medication in it and works just as good. Never will I waste my money on plan b again! I know plan b's ratings are higher but that's only because take action is new."

For Emergency Contraception "I’m pretty sure it works but the side effects are horrible. I had ended my period and had sex like the very next night. He finished inside me annnnnnnd I took the pill like 36 hours later. Then I got my period AGAIN like two days later . I am still on my period tho ! It went from very heavy to I thought it was over then it turned brown and now is back to regular flow and red again . So I have been on my period for like 2 1/2 weeks now !"

For Emergency Contraception "My personal experience. Short and to the point : I was suppose to get my period 12/17/118. I had unprotected sex 12/14-12/16. Took take Action on 12/16 for precaution measures.Had severe cramps. Started my cycle today 12/22/18 five days late. I was terribly worried. We must stay safe. Hope all is well for you !"

For Emergency Contraception "Took Take Action May 14th 26 hours after unprotected sex, just missed my period. Naturally I took a pregnancy test which was positive, so then I took 3 more... all positive... my sore breast, bloating and tiredness are obviously a sign of what the pill didn’t protect against. "

For Emergency Contraception "The condom ripped so I took this just to be safe. I had a period the week before this happened. 5 days after I took the pill I had bleeding as if it was another period which lasted 5 days (which I hope it was actually my period) not really any other side effects. But now it’s the 27th day since that one ended and I’m a little concerned. I’ve taken 3 tests and they all came out negative. Praying for a period right now. Just go buy another pill. This stress wasn’t worth it"

For Emergency Contraception "I took this emergency contraceptive because I was with a friend drinking and well we got down to business and he pulled out and we did it the next morning as well which was unusually short but he pulled out, I wanted to be extra safe because it was 2 days before my ovulation, but I was blessed with no cramps or extreme mood swings and my period came a.few days earlier and was on track with the 28 day cycle"

For Emergency Contraception "I usually never write reviews but I felt the need to with this one. I have been freaking out for the past month. I had sex the day after my period ended and the condom broke and he had came inside me, I went to the store a few hours after and they were sold out of plan B so I had to resort to Take Action- never again will I be doing this, I will drive around the whole day in search of the brand name pill because take action is in no way worth it. I have had breast tenderness, nausea, cramping, headaches, spotting- basically every symptom that also aligns with pregnancy. I finally just now 45 days later got my period. I just wanted to let all of you know that take action is in absolutely no way worth the stress & pain you have to go through. I have never experienced this with the regular plan B pill. Yes it worked, But the pain is in no way worth it. If you are experiencing any of this I just wanted to let all of you know it’s going to be okay !!"

For Emergency Contraception "I took Take Action emergency pill the next day after having unprotected sex - even though he didn’t finish inside me but just in case. I felt just fine for 2 days but 3rd day I felt dizzy all day long thinking something is really wrong with my body and felt horrible whole day. Felt absolutely fine for a whole week but then after 10 days I started feeling terrible again, woke up nauseous and dizzy whole day had to even take medicine for it . Got so scared thinking I might be pregnant but took pregnancy test and it was negative. Then again after 2 days I took another pregnancy test it still came out negative. I finally started my periods after 2 days delay . So don’t worry guys this pill does work it worked fine on me but I just felt terrible with its side effects!"

For Emergency Contraception "I promised I would write a review to hopefully calm some women freaking out like I did. Trust me, this pill works if taken within 72 hours. I took it twice in one week during my fertile window and during ovulation. The first incident I took it after 30 hours, and the second incident 30 min after and I am not pregnant. I experienced cramping after taking the pills and my period came a few days earlier with no horrible side effects (in fact I had no cramping on my period surprisingly, it was one of the happiest periods I’ve had). Now I am back on birth control, as this is not a form of contraception. However it does work, so please breathe and relax. God Bless xo"

For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex 10/9, I checked my app and realized I was in my fertile window and 3 days away from my most fertile day. The next day I bought the pill and took it immediately, I also bought ovulation strips. I used the ovulation test on 10/12, it was positive. 10/15 I began experiencing breast tenderness, and spotting; this came and went for 4 days. I also noticed I was extremely emotional and fatigued, I really felt pregnant. I was expecting my period 10/26. It is now the 29th, no sign of a period and the pregnancy test I took last week was negative. Still not sure if the pill worked, I will say I’ve never experienced symptoms like this with Plan B or birth control pills. Obviously if I do end up being pregnant it could be the cause of the symptoms mentioned but personally, I’d advise you ladies to either spend the extra money on Plan B or talk to your doctor about the pills you can get a prescription for as emergency contraception."

For Emergency Contraception "Told myself I'd write a review. Had unprotected sex on the 12th second day into my fertile window, took take action 12 hours after. Had the worst symptoms for two weeks. Like I could have bet 1000$ that I was pregnant. I was super nauseous and my boobs hurt so bad. I started my period two days later. And I'm 5'5 and 200lb. I only took one pill. So it worked, however the side effects were awful. Hopefully they go away. I'm sure some were stress induced, but it worked."
