took this pill on day 17 of my cycle, my cycles are usually irregular so I didn't know if I had ovulated or not. I took the pill 7 hours after the condom broke, the only initial side effect I had was nausea for a couple hours. The long term effects sucked for me- dizziness, pain on either side of my pelvic area, tender breasts, sore nipples, mood swings, the list goes on and on. I stressed a l ... Show Full Comment

I stressed a lot that I was pregnant for about a week, but on day 45 of my cycle I noticed some brown spotting in my underwear that turned into a full on period the next couple of days. Never been so happy to get a period in my life. THIS PILL WORKS!!! I promise!

My boyfriend and I had sex, condom broke and I took the pill within two hours. Went in to my first BC appointment a few weeks later and hey surprise you're pregnant! Unfortunately due to health issues I miscarried (doc said it was probably from how bad morning sickness got coupled with the stomach flu, couldn't eat for a week and a half).

I fell into that small percent of people it didn't work for I guess.

Initially, I experienced no side effects. Then, my period came 4-5 days early (no complaints there). HOWEVER, when my period did come, it was like I was being ripped apart. I mean serious, and I am the mother of a 2 year old so I remember pregnancy well. I took a hot bath and that helped, but the pain lasted the entire period (it did lessen). The blood was also bright red.

It worked, I didn't get pregnant but I think I would have rather gotten pregnant then gone through what I went through!! I should note that I don't normally take birth control so this may have messed with my hormones more than others! This was back in January. Most likely unrelated, but 3 days after the encounter I came down with the worst flu I had ever had. Had a quick flu test after 4 d ... Show Full Comment

I should note that I don't normally take birth control so this may have messed with my hormones more than others! This was back in January. Most likely unrelated, but 3 days after the encounter I came down with the worst flu I had ever had. Had a quick flu test after 4 days which came back negative but I had a 103 degree fever every day for those 4 days. My period came 2 weeks early, and then I got over my illness but exactly 3 weeks after the encounter (when my period would have normally come) I experienced 3 days of nausea, fatigue, night sweats and swollen glands. I was convinced I had HIV especially after the fever. My anxiety was through the roof. I finally felt normal after about a month but was too scared to get tested for HIV until just recently and luckily it came out negative. No more Plan B for me!

I am satisfied in the effectiveness of not being pregnant but my whole life went down hill from this point on. It created severe hormonal imbalance, rapid weight gain, Acne.
