For Emergency Contraception "This works! It is the exact same medication and dosage as Plan B. I had unprotected sex (condom slipped off) on day 13 of my regular 28 day cycle. Took the Take Action pill within an hour of the incident and like clockwork my period appeared on day 28 as normal. Symptoms included mood swings, dizziness, severe cramping, and a much heavier period than normal. Negative pregnancy test result."

For Emergency Contraception "I want to be as detailed as possible here if it can help. We had a condom mishap and I took this about 6ish hours afterward. This was 2 days after my ‘fertile window’ according to my period tracker. Other reviews terrified me, and I’m was prepared for the worst, side effect wise. The day after taking the pill, I found that I was feeling very weak and extremely hungry, but that’s all. About seven days later, I got my period. Day one brought with it probably the worst cramps I’ve experienced, but I don’t know if I can blame the pill for that. It was easily remedied with the seat warmer in my car and some ibuprofen. I was nervous about purchasing an off brand (Plan B was out), but I recommend this!"

For Emergency Contraception "I had a random hookup with a guy, brought condoms to be safe. It wasn’t until after he came inside of me I realized he had broke the condom on purpose. So of course I leave pissed off and go to the nearest Walmart, didn’t have enough for plan b so I bought this. It worked, didn’t get pregnant, made me spot. But downside is this completely mucked up my hormones. I haven’t had a period for almost a YEAR. Night sweats, acne (never had acne prior) I still have no sign of a period."

For Emergency Contraception "Just got my period on the date that I normally would, so the pill didn’t mess with my cycle at all. I took the pill no more than 10 hours after “the accident” no side effects nothing! So the pill worked for me and I was even ovulating at that time so don’t worry ladies you should be fine :)"

For Emergency Contraception "TAKE ACTION AND PLAN B IS THE TRUTH for me. Had unprotected sex with my fiancé on January 23rd around 12ish that morning and he finished inside me completely. Went to my local Kroger that morning 9 hours after it happened and got the take action because Plan B was all out and here it is 5 days later and Aunt Flo is currently paying me a visit! I was stressed and depressed thinking I was pregnant because of how long it was before i took it! No side effects at all!! Just be patient ladies!!"

For Emergency Contraception "I had sex three days ago and I just had my baby 7 months ago, my husband said he had already came in me a little, so he went full blown sploosh in there. So I got take action from walgreens and took it a few hours after yesterday, I started spotting and now I'm full on bleeding. I guess it worked. No side effects for me tho. which is cool. I read that if your ovulating it will not work, and if you over 163 lbs it may work but I'm 194 lbs and it worked perfectly."

For Emergency Contraception "After having unprotected sex for the first time I literally just knew I was it was a big mistake. It was such a stupid mistake. I was near ovulation. The guy said he pulled out and then went back in for a second round about 5 minutes later. He came twice in under 10 minutes. I made him buy me this pill. I took it about 2 hours after the whole “situation” and I’m over the normal weight limit it calls for, but it still worked. The side effects were horrible for me. Immediately I felt tired after taking it. Then my legs started hurting really bad. Cramps and nausea everyday for about a month after taking it. It was definitely a rough time for me. Wasted money on pregnancy tests too. Practice safe sex, it’s not worth all that."

For Emergency Contraception "I took this pill immediately after the deed. My husband did finish in me sorry to say . I took it about 30 mins after this occurred . It was 9 days until my expected period, about 2 days after I took this pill I felt light cramping , which was on and off for few days . My period did not come on the expected day but I started spotting two days after I missed my period. The spotting lasted about a day and half . Then My period came right after !!! I was so happy !!! I was only 4 days late on my period ! So I’m assuming this pill actually works ! I was extremely worried and stressed about being pregnant so I’m unsure if the pill delayed my period or if it was stress but taking it close to the time of your period can cause it to be delayed !! Just take this pill straight away !!! Don’t take it a day after or 2-5 the longer you wait the less effective it is ! Take it ASAP because it really does work !!"

For Emergency Contraception "A guy and I had sex it was the first day of my fertile window, no condom....he did not finish in me.....but I was still scared! I went on with the day, the next morning I got up and went to Walmart and got the VCF gel (spermicidal gel Nonoxynol 9 Gel) insert, but I still didn’t feel okay with just that! So I went to Walgreens later that day and got Take Action! About 6 days later I was terribly nauseous. The next morning I woke up and my period had started. It wasn't like a normal period - very dark blood and not very much bright red. It lasted for 4-5 days. I took the pill on the 21 of July and it is now the 7 of August and I’m still having brownish discharge when I wipe! It is soo confusing I have taken several tests and all come back negative.....but I guess we will just wait the process out!"

For Emergency Contraception "Hubby didnt pull out in time so the next morning he went and picked it up. I'm breast feeding my 10 month old as well. With in 2 days time we both had thrush (kinda a fungal yeast infection). His mouth was covered in those white patches and my nipples ached horribly. I also had headaches. And I'm bleeding its been like a week since I've taken the pill. It's been like 2 weeks since my last period. I would not recommend this for nursing moms. Bad bad bad idea! But none the less. I'm not pregnant which is freaking great news cuz I don't need #6"

Took it and 2 weeks later I was late.. took a pregnancy test and it was POSITIVE! our last kiddo will be 11 by the time this one is born. We did NOT want to start over. "

For Emergency Contraception "I had a crazy night and had unprotected sex ! I freaked out and decided to take this pill (first time I tried it ) I took it maybe 12 hours after. I didn't have any of the side effects until maybe 1 week later and had some spotting and that is pretty much it. I've taken 3 pregnancy test all of them were Negative! This thing was a life savor because I wasn’t ready to have another child ! TAKE IT !!!! IT REALLY DOES WORK !!!!!"

For Emergency Contraception "Update to past post talking about having side effects three weeks after. Yeah hi, I’m still having them. Took that pill Jan 29 it’s April 26. Almost three months and I’m still occasionally getting light cramps, SUPER bloated, and my nipples are sore. Pretty sure I’m not pregnant however. Went to a pregnancy center in my town, their test also said negative. Try not to panic too much if the side effects last a while, cause they sure have with me. If you are worried I would recommend seeing a doctor, as that is what I’m going to do if these don’t stop soon. :) I will keep you up dated on what they say if I go."

For Emergency Contraception "We had a condom break so I took this within 12 hours. I wasn’t sure if I was near ovulation because my cycles are between 32-40 days. I had no immediate symptoms but I started a “period” 1.5 weeks later (1.5 weeks earlier than my “expected” period) which started off as brown discharge and turned into heavy bleeding with clots and mild cramps. I was bleeding through a pad an hour and it really scared me. Then it subsided into what seemed like a normal period and ended after 5-6 days, so I assumed it just made my period come early. I began to notice symptoms, continuing on for 1 month including bloating, headaches and extreme fatigue. I took 4 negative home pregnancy tests and both urine/blood tests came back negative at the doctor 4 weeks after we had sex so I am NOT Pregnant! I still don’t get why this medication has given me symptoms for such a long time after - the fatigue has to be the worst. I’ll take it over a baby though and hope it goes away by my next period!"

For Emergency Contraception "It’s been 2 months and no period!!!! I have nausea, cramping breast tenderness I know I’m not pregnant but why did it mess with my period so much. It’s exhausting just to keep waiting for it I am so annoyed!!! I will never try this again !"

For Emergency Contraception "I do not recommend this at all! I had unprotected sex. And within 12 hours I took the take action pill because the pharmacy was out of plan b and I had terrible cramps and my breasts were so tender and sore. And my back pain was terrible for two weeks! And my period was a week and a half late!! I finally took a pregnancy test to calm my nerves and what do you know... I’m PREGNANT! I’ve only had to taken this type of precaution twice before. And I always took plan B and I sure am sorry I settled for the take action be it definitely did not live up to the name."

For Emergency Contraception "Hey girls stop stressing!!!! I had unprotected sex on January 9th 2 days before my predicted ovulation. He came inside of me so I went to get a plan b/take action. They were sold out everywhere I looked so I went again the next day and got a Take Action. I took it 27 hours after the unprotected sex. A week later I experienced bleeding (heavier than spotting) for 2 days then it went away. That’s really the only side effect that I experienced. And then after that my period came at the expected time. So don’t worry and stop googling(like me) it’ll just stress you more."

For Emergency Contraception "I purchased this because the store was out of Plan B. I figured they were much all the same anyway. I was wrong. I’ve never had any real bad symptoms with Plan B. However, with take action I feel so awful. I have every damn symptom. I took it on Monday, and on Wednesday I couldn’t move due to the pain I was in. Hopefully all the pain is worth it and I won’t b pregnant but as of now, these symptoms are terrible ;("

For Emergency Contraception "I had unprotected sex 8/16-8/17/2019, on the 17th my boyfriend completely finished inside of me. It was late at night and were stressing as we were laying there afterwards seeing as it was right on my ovulation day. We ended up going to buy Take Action just due to the $10 difference. I took it within an hour of the mishap. I was fine for 5 days then my boobs began to hurt and I started to bleed 6 days after taking the pill. I have now been bleeding for 12 days; the blood not being normal. It is dark in color, almost black, as well as clumping and clotting. The bleeding is also not a flow it is barely here, to the point I think it’s done then I go to wipe and there is a streak of pink/red/brown. My period wasn’t due for two weeks so the beginning of September. At the beginning of the bleeding I had HORRIBLE CRAMPING, almost to the point of not being able to walk. I will never take another pill from this company again. I still am unsure if it even worked due to the light bleeding."

For Emergency Contraception "I'm writing this to help people be less worrisome. I've taken this pill twice and both times were in my ovulation window (2-3 days before I ovulated) and it worked. The first time I took it on the third day and the second time to took it within 2-3 hours. It DOES work. I got no symptoms each time and my period was really heavy with slightly bad cramps but I'm not pregnant so yea! I would recommend if you don't have enough money but if you do I would recommend actual Plan B just to be safe."

For Emergency Contraception "I was on the ring for about 11 months decided to get off. 2 weeks later the condom got stuck in me unknowingly and cum got inside of me. I’m pretty sure it was very close to ovulation. So, I took this pill about 2 hours later. Got my period 3 days earlier than expected."

For Emergency Contraception "I've taken the Take Action once before and it worked, I got my period 2 days before the due date (last day of period was April 6th). Two days after my period I had unprotected sex again (please don't be like me, always use protection!) On April 8. I had bleeding/spotting on April 12 did a pregnancy test on the 12, 26 and 29 and it came out negative. Now it is April 3 and I am 2 days late, I am praying so hopefully it works. I feel bad with nausea, headaches back pain, sore nipples and white spots on nipples. This pill makes you feel like rubbish! I will give you guys an update"

For Emergency Contraception "I took Take Action on July 10, less than an hour after the incident. I don't know if it worked as it's only been a few days, but so far, my side effects have been flu-like symptoms such as fever, headaches, runny and stuffy nose, congestion, body aches, and fatigue. I do not have the flu. This is the first time I've ever taken any kind of contraceptive pill. My period had just ended two days prior to when I had sex so I will not find out until around August 5 if my period is late or not. I have irregular periods so I may not know until much after. Hopefully this worked because the symptoms of sickness and a child is not worth the incident. This was the first time I've ever had unprotected sex and I'm not ready for a child in my life right now."
