Is This Normal?
I took the morning after pills 2 weeks ago and since then having stomach discomfort, pain and backache every now and then. A week ago, I had my menstrual. Unfortunately still having the same discomfort and pain after 4 days. Is what I am going through normal?

I’ve been having the same problem. I took the morning after pill within 72 hours. Right now it’s been 9 days and I still have abdominal pain and occational back ache. I’ve been reading trying to figure out what wrong and so far my symyoms are matched with ectopic pregnancy. I’m not 100% sure but you should read up on that. I’m still not sure if this is normal and I would really appriciate any comments on this. I’m really worried.
About four days ago I took the morning after pill and have been experiencing the same discomforts. My back is very sore on the left side and I also have abdominal pain. I am not sure whether this is normal and have recently made an appointment with my gynocologist. It comforts me to know that other women are having similar symptoms and these uncomfortable side-effects may be normal.
I took the morning after pill 4 days ago and i am still suffering from abdominal pain i feel pressure on my abdomen giving me an urge to pass urine. I also have noticed some vaginal spotting ( little bit of blood). I don’t know if this is normal and how long it should go on for, everyone i know has never experienced these symptonms.
took one step. 6 weeks ago. I have been bleeding ever since and also passed what I think are big blood clots.
I’ve been having the same problems. I hoping at least it is just the pills. I’ve been having backaches, pain in my stomach, and also I can hardly touch my boobs becaue they hurt so bad.
took the morning after pill 6 days ago and am suffering from abdominal pain. Is this normal and how long it should go on? Also I can hardly touch my boobs becaue they hurt so bad. I have continued takin my birth control pill, hoping my period starts this week!
A week after taking the morning after pill (2 pills taken within 12 hours) I was fine, but after a week, I started menstruating, with bloating, discomfort, breast tenderness and lower back pain. It’s now the 12th day of bleeding, no clots, but enough blood to say I have a medium to heavy period each day.
i took the morning after pill 5 days ago was on my period the week before taking it have been bleeding for around 2 days discoloured blood sort of orangy coloured is this normal after taking this?
I took the morning after pill and my breasts shrunk and never grew back. Has anyone had this happen to them?
I took the morning after pill a little over 1 hr after unprotected sex and the next pill exactly 12 hours after. It has been 3 days and I have experienced nausea, vomiting, spotting, and extreme cramps… I know these symptoms are too early to be signs of pregnancy… I’m just hoping that they’re side effects of the pill…
after taking MAP for quite some time i am experiencing irregular period now & when i get a period it stays on for weeks along with cramps,nausea & bloating
i was planning on going to the dr tomorrow to get the pill, i had unprotected sex about 20 hours ago and my boyfriend for some reason is very worried about it this time, I am more worried too because he has never acted liek this before…but after reading all of this i dont think i want to take it…I am very sensitive to pain and cramps and sont know if i can take two weeks of a period..I just dont know what to do now…..
i took the mornin after pill on monday and its friday now and i have rely bad pains in my belly i cant sleep and am scared it could be ectopic pregnancy
I took Plan B about 10 days ago, and 4 days later, I have been having very bad cramping, backaches, and my breasts are very tender, they kind of hurt. I have been spotting, this dark brown-orange color since. After reading all of the previous comments, maybe these are just “normal” side effects?
I took the pill yesterday, and fully expect to suffer some of these symptoms. I always find taking the pill causes me to get period cramps, spotting, sore breasts and a really low depressed feeling for sometimes as much as two weeks. It isn’t usually too painful to cope with, it just feels like my regular period cramps only at the wrong time of the month. I guess if it hurts a lot you should talk to your doctor. I always get morning sickness when I take the pill as well – really frightening if you think you might be pregnant, but apparently also a side effect of the pill. Not a lot of women get these side effects, so the drug company doesn’t consider them ‘normal’ side effects. This happens to me every time I take the pill, so I guess it is ‘normal’ for me.
This month my period came a week early, im usually never early or late so i dont know why this happened it lasted a week! I took the Morning After Pill 29hours after unprotected sex with my partner since then ive been very sick, head aches stomach cramps and very heavy bleeding..i have took the Morning After Pill before and never had these symptoms..why is it so different this time???
I took the morning after pill 2 weeks ago.After coming home from a holiday I got I believe my period but it was dark very brown with light tummy cramps.Weird thing is I had my proper period on the 8th feb.So having 2 periods at the same month is weird right?? Slight tenderness in my breasts.Have taken the morning after pill before with no side effects.But what’s happening now??
I have taken the morning after pill twice now and my period is always late-not good when that is what you are waiting for, plus i get sore breasts, bloating and feel very emotional and depressed I’m pleased that this seems to be a normal reaction, the general advice from chemists seems to be that it will have no effect on your body or mood, i think this is very misleading especially as the symptoms experiences can be attributed to pregnancy
I took the morning after pill on sunday 2 hours after having sex with my boyfriend, we used a condom but the condom got stuck up there a little but I pulled it out straight away and everything was ok, but when I went to take the other pill I lost it, so I only took one pill. I am feeling a little sick today, and I am worried it is beacause I didn’t take the other pill. My boyfriend thinks I am just feeling sick becasue I got sick last time I took it. but yeah can anyone help me please??? thanks..
i took the morning after pill on friday night i had finished my period that thursday started bleeding on the monday and it started off light every now and again but now its heavy and feelslike a normal period i have no stomach cramps, i had did feel sick on saturday but was not actually sick…. is this whats supposed to happen is this just my period again because i took the pill….. its kinda scary because it feels wierd like not a normal period
please comment am i the only one is this supposed to happen)
I took the pill almost two weeks ago. it is feb. 16 and i was supposed to get mine on the feb.2, but i took the pill on that day and it never came. i was having sex with my boyfriend and after we did it, he went to pull out and the condom was still inside me, i pulled it out, but i was scared i got some in me, so i went and got the pill. My period does come about 3-4 weeks late normally, but it is scary to think of what could happen. i haven’t been sick and have only had a little discomfort in my lower area. Please comment. I don’t think i am pregnant, but there is always a chance.
hello i took the two pills 12 hours apart and since then i have not had backache or anything just wierd bleeding and yes zome blood clots type but mostly a wierd brown discharge. i don’t have time to go to the doctors unless it’s serious can anyone give me some ideas as to what it could be or why it is still happening after 2 weeks
I took the pill 4 days ago and my period ended 5 days before taking the EC pill.I am now experiencing abdominal pain that is unusal to cramps because I don’t normally get cramps during my period, and now started bleeding? From reading all these comments it appears to be normal? would it be possible i have aborded a fetus? according to the normal biological cycle I am considered safe of conceiving 5 days after my last period and taking the pill 10 hrs after having sex where the condom broke? please comment..i would appreciate some comfort.
I took the pill about 2 weeks ago and 6 days after i took the pill my period started and it was on the day that it should have. Well it’s been about 6 days after my period and my boobs still hurt and i just started to bleed a little again. Is this a sign i could be prgnant or is it because of the pills? I’m really scared, somebody please comment me back!
If you have considerable bleeding you are not pregnant. Your period may show up a week early or late and will be considerably worse. Another method you can resort to is having an IUD implanted by your doctor within 72 hours (I think). Trust me these methods are better than the alternatives. Hang in there!
I took the Morning After Pill and started my period a week later; my period lasted for 3 weeks! A month has passed and I am on my next period and it is going on the 7th day and I passed a big clot that looked like a damn miscarriage. I am very worried; I hope it all goes away soon. I also have fibroids, so I wasn’t sure if that was the problem. I am very grateful for all of the info shared by others because now I understand that all of my symptoms fit the criteria of the Morning After Pill side effects! Is there anyone who has started and finished with these same side effects! How long is this going to last??
I took the pill March 28th. 3 days after conception. It is now April 22. My side affects are really taking their toll! I felt dizziness and abdominal cramping the first coupld days. I felt hungrier than usual.. has anyone else experianced that?!? I got my period April 8th about 2 weeks after the pill. It was heavier than usual and lasted 8 days when the norm for me is no more than 5 days. My period comes any time during the month so looking out for it was hard and scary. So now i am experiancing a lot worse pains. for a week straight now i have been having Abdominal cramping,pains,dizziness,headaches,nausea,constipation, and lost in apatite. Its been almost a month now since i took the pill. Im very worried. Could i be pregnant any way? I will take a home pregnancy test this week. But i hope beyond the horrible side effects that it’s just the pill and nothing else.
I took the pill March 23rd after my boyfriend and I had sex when the condom broke during climax. Two weeks later I had severe cramping with a period which lasted twice as long as usual. I’m now experiencing headaches, dizziness, and nausea on a frequent basis. I have a similar incident as the previous comment. Is this perhaps only coincidence that we have experienced the same side effects?
I took the pill on wendsday april the 25th. But now im gettin worried becuase the side affects are bad. I get nausea and sometimes i get dizzy but the thing that is killing me is the stomach pains. I dont have lower stomach pains but just stomach pain. My period hasnt come but im expecting it in 2 weeks. I know im not pregnant but the side affects are horrible. its been 5 days allready. Hopefully it all goes away because i feel horrible!
took the morning after pill after condom broke and two days after started pain on left of my lower back, nausia and I have cramps like when you have your period lower back pain like you have just before your period starts Is this normal?
i took the after morning pill 3 days ago and i have been having horrible pains in my belly and back. i am felling really nausious and dizzy all the time, i feel really bad today and all the symptoms are getting worse. today i have even started getting the shakes, is this normal i ask the doc and they said no it’s probably a bug you caught. I’ve never felt this bad not even with the flu, someone please tell me what’s going on!! comment plz
I am planning on taking the pill today and these comments ^^ are making me really scared. Has anybody had a GOOD reaction with the pill?
I’ve taken the morning after pill about 3 times now and never had any reactions until this time. Now, I seem to be having a period only a week after my last one….is this nothing but a side effect? Am I right in thinking a considerable amount of blood means you are not pregnant??
I TOOK THE MORNING AFTER PILL 2 days after because he went to pull out and the condom was still inside me!!
I had my period a week later (2 weeks earlier than i was due) and had stomach cramps and back pains. i too feel unusually hungry all the time and i have started to have quite a bit of brown discharge and some blood 3 days after my period has stopped. Im only 17 and im bricking it because of the paranoia of pregnancy.
I took Plan B within 12 hours of what may have been unprotected sex, but darn that booze, I don’t know if we really did it or just messed around and he didn’t finish…alcohol is good at impairing THAT too.
Took pills 13 hours apart 11 days ago. Had some spotting, major emotional crises every day, major gas and appetite. And super tired.
Still going to the bathroom (#2) a lot, spotting has stopped. But now I’m waiting for the real period…any day now…tick tick tick. It would not be so bad if the guy was my boyfriend, but he’s not!
Took the Plan b pill 12 hours apart, 6 days ago. I have had lots of nausea, dizzy spells that are still persisting, I’m more hungry than usual too. I have had no bleeding yet. Just wondering how long the symptoms can last for…I feel awful
i took the morning after pill 6 days ago and since then i have been having alot of pain. ive also been experiancing, little lumps of blood, viginal discomfort, stomach aches and its very painful when i urinate.
i dont know if this is normal and the symptoms sound like chlamidia :s, but i know for a fact thats its not (luckily)
im really confused and dont know if its the pill thats cased this, or an infection, please comment back because im realyl worried

i had sex on my fertile day… he pulled out but i got paranoid, i took the morning after pill and 8 days after i took it ( a week early for my period) , i bled out and soaked up 2 pads no clots. then a week later after the bleeding, which was where im supposed to have my period, i bled out again. 2 pad with the same amount of blood and color red. I freaked out at the first bleeding. Ive been trying HPT’s but all are negative – 14,19,21,23,28,and33 DPO. i even had ultrasound on 24DPO, doc says my lining was thin and she didnt see any embryo. IM STILL PARANOID. can anybody please comment on this. Can I STILL be pregnant? the hardest part is to convince myself. i need help. bad– and FYI, hes not my bf so dont want to have a kid from him.
i took th mornin after pill 19 hours after our condom splt. now it is 5 days later, i am in loads of pain due to cramps and am bleeding a bit, i am really hungry but also feel incredibly sick and dizzy. my back has started aching too. im not too worried as my doctor told me i culd have an early period tho i had only just finished my last one (5 days previous), its more annoying than anythin, tho my emotions are going haywire

It took the second one twelved hours later. I felt mostly fine a little cramping..and a week later started my mentrual which i read was very normal. it lasted prob seven days itself. My ? is has ne one ended up having thier period come some what late after taking the pill and having that first menstrual? is this normal?

i took the morning after pill 5 weeks ago. i got my period 3 weeks later (1 week early) and it’s been 2 weeks now and i am still bleeding. i’m not really sure if it is even my period because it has been so light, it hasn’t peaked like it usually does where i will have a couple of heavy days towards the beginning. its just been a constant dribbling of blood. its making me worried because it’s been 14 days today and just when i think it’s going to stop, it doesn’t. has this happened to anyone else?
i took the single morning after pill a wk ago started to bleed today. started quite brown at first now its just like a period but 2wks early.had headaches all wk and felt very sick still getting cramps and backache hopefully wont last much longer.how long do you leave the bleeding before going to the doctors.
I had unprotected sex on Jun 9th 2007. I took the the 2nd pill on the 11th of the same month. Now, Its July 3rd, and the main side affects I still get is the tender breasts. but I am concerned that I have not received my menstrual cycle yet. I should’ve gotten it on June 25th. The ends of the month are usually my time of the month. Should I be concerned that I haven’t gotten my period? Or is this also a side effect?
I took the Morning After Pill four days ago and I haven’t experienced any vomiting, nausea, no bleeding or anything. Just some weird smell when I use the bathroom. I haven’t heard of anyone with this side effect and I can’t realize if its the pill working from all the chemicals or not… Ahh!!
im having some of the same problems as most of the other women on here i took the pill 2 days ago and im MISREABLE i feel the urge to pee all the time and it STINGS when i do , i went to a clinic for a pee test for stds and im waiting for the results
has anyone else expirenced this pain while urinating after taking the pill ??
I took the morning after pill 72 hours after unprotected sex. 9 days later i experienced itching(like frm a yeast infection) and then a blood like discharge. My breast are tender like my period is coming and i feel bloated..my legs/feet are soar/swollen. The discharge went away after 2-3 days…but my breast are still tender and my legs and feet are still feel a bit achey…Is this normal?
PS there are some good links to studies that have been done on (would you believe it) WIKIPEDIA
on side effects

hi i took the morning after pill on last week and my menstruation started 10days early this week.it is not associated with the severe stomach cramp which i generally have during my regular cycle and the blood release is really less, and instead of blood i’m passing blood clots.is it normal?
took the pill about 2 weeks before the period started an then it when it finally started it was really light then became extremely heavy as the days passed and hasnt stopped since…i eat like a pig though before i never used to eat and i am just scared I want this to be over
You ladies could really mess up your bodies like this with using that morning after pill all the time. If your going to be having intercourse like that then you should really get the birth control shot or tell your partner to strap up or get lost. But even those can break so get on the shot.
I took the pill 10hrs after intercourse. I had just came off my pierod. now im back on 2weeks later. Really heavy, bloated, bright red, and no cramps! I this normal? I feel like crap.
I took a morning after pill 3 days ago. I stared bleeding yesterday. And I am still having it.I am afraid of having cramps and back pain. I had monthly period last week ago and now I’m bleeding. It’s so scary
i had unprotected sex on tues. night. took the 1st pill friday morning and the last friday night (i was late taking it cause i didnt know it was OTC yet) but anyway, i started my period 3 days early.. i am having a very irregular period and stomach pain and bloating… my period is usually thicker, darker blood and usually has more clots in it and this time its like water and there alot of it.. for the last 4 days, ive been heavy heavy bleeding but its so thin and watery.. ive been worried something is wrong where i took it the 3rd day maybe it didnt work.. been feeling nausea too… not a good feeling.. its good to know im not the only one whos having trouble though.. dr gets in at 10am and im calling her then… good luck to everyone..
Well, ever since I have taken the orning after pill, I have been experiencing irregular periods. I mean, I had my period and a week later I had to take the morning after pill, and a week later, I started to bleed again. So I had my period, and two weeks later, I had it again, but I had no cramps or any pains that go with a period, so I am really confused. And this happen a couple of times. I mean when I bleed two weeks after having my period, it only lasted two days, then it happen again, a week later, for two day again. Now it is around the time when I am suppose to have my realy period and it has not come yet. So I am wondering fi that was considered my period.
hey well i took da moring after pill and my breast hurt and my stomach hurts is it normal i havent gotten my period is it normal!!
im 15 and i am having stomach cramps and i am having heat flashes, and i dont think this is normal, im really scared. and i hate how i am feeling someone give me some advice
same dsicomfort. abdominal pain and some blood stains happening roughly a week and a half after menstration. is it normal? who answers our questions? can one take pain killers?
i took the morning after pill about a month ago and my period came on time 2 weeks later it was normal maybe a little bit more painful and lasted the uusual four days.a week later i have had spotting it has been going on since Sunday its now Friday it is not enough to wear a pad and usually there when i go to the toilet. i have rung the pharmacies and they said that it is unusual for the morning after pill to do this. has anyone else had thes problems
I had protected sex with my bf but the condom unknowingly slipped off and he came inside. Took the pill the next day and experienced headaches and a fever. Its sunday now and i have a serious stomach ache. Im scared and to top it off my bf isnt in town for the weeknend. What can be done to minimise the side effects?
I am having back pain, horrible stomach pain. I took the pill about a week and a half ago… and I had a period about 2 and a half weeks ago… Well yesterday I couldn’t even stand up straight I was hurting so badly… I started what looks like a period again it is thick discolored blood… I am worried… can someone help!
I took the morning after pill a week ago and everything was fine until yesterday when I suddenly felt like I had a bladder infection, started bleeding (but only when I go to the bathroom) and passing what looks like pale clots. I also feel swollen and itchy. My poor body, I don’t ever want to have sex again. What’s going on?
I took the pills 8 weeks ago… I still haven’t started my period… I took a home pregnancy test & it came out negative. I went to the doctor and another test came out negative. I feel nauseated and have no clue if I’m pregnant. At this point, I’d rather be pregnant than have something else wrong.
After taking Levonelle, I experienced tiredness, morning sickness, breast tenderness, excessive salivation and my nipples secreted a kind of wierd waxy stuff. I asked a pharmacist if this was all normal, but he only knows what the companies tell him.
The company information about side effects is very vague and I believe this is for marketing purposes. If we knew how sick it would make us, we would be less likely to buy their over-priced products!
I’ve taken this pill once and I will never EVER taken it again. My body is SO screwed up!
I took the pill back in the end of March of 07. I had a very heavy period with lots of clotting a couple of weeks later that lasted 2 1/2 weeks. I didn’t have any nausea or back pain like that has been mentioned here though. The period lasted from end of April through Mothers Day weekend (which is in MAY). I did not have another period until September of 07 that lasted for almost 2 weeks of heavy bleeding and passing clots. It’s now the middle of January of 08 and still have not had a cycle since Sept. All of my tests I’ve taken (home and at the health clinic) have been negative for pregnancy. I need to get an appt with my gynecologist, but have any of you experienced LACK of periods as a side effect with this pill?
i took the MAP yesterday. so far i haven’t had any of these symptoms. i fear of them!!! my periods are always so jacked up anyways!! so i really don’t look forward to any of the cramping, clotting, vomitting, etc.. hope everyone that has commented bad side effects are ok.
Does anyone actually offer advice here or does one just post their problem and for the sake of it??
Well, here is mine – my girlfriend has been on the pill for the past year. She forgot to take her very last pill on time before the 7 day break period. She took the pill 15 hours after her regular time.
Unfortunately, she did not read the instructions properly and went straight onto her 7 day break. We had full intercourse on the Sunday and we felt it better to get the morning after pill which she took 6 hours later. It is now Tuesday and she is suffering from very bad lower right side abdominal and back pain. I hope to god she is not pregnant.
However, from reading all of the above comments, it looks like this is quite a regular side effect.
i geting so scared… no one is saying how long this bleeding will last… can someone tell me how long wil this last… this is my45th day of bledding after my normal period.. so anyone someone pls tell wen this will end… thanks…
Hey, i took the morning after pill 5 hours after un-protected sex two pills 12 hours apart. i had my period one week before taking the pill. And one week after taking the pill my period is back. I have sore cramps and weird discolouring of blood, I am a month early. I am really scared because my period has never been early. Please can anyone advise me?
comment number 30 i know what u mean i have the same thing idk what to do is this normal? has anyone told u im scared…
I TOOK MORNING AFTER PILL THE FOLLOWING DAY AND I HAD MY PERIOTS BUT AFTER THAT MY STOMUCH IS FULL OF GAS AND I HAV CRAMPS AND SOMETIMES I FEEL NOSIUS IS THIS NORMAL.
with regards to plan b based on clinical trials side effects experienced include nausea(23%), abdominal pain(18%), fatigue(17%), headache(17%), breast tenderness(10%), and menstrual changes. also states that possibility of menstrual pattern irregularity is increased with use of these pills. “If there is a delay in the onset of menses beyond 1 week, the possibility of pregnancy should be considered.” menstrual periods can also come a week earlier than expected. This is my summary of the context i read from the little paper that came with the pills. consult your doctor if you have any other concerns. hope this helps. all copyright credit goes to dura-med
addendum: webmd.com also suggests that common side effects(of plan B) such as abnormally long or heavy periods, bleeding not to related menstrual period, high blood sugar -to which all can occur to a severe extent- may be experienced. also, consider that what you are taking are synthetic forms of hormones, these things can cause an imbalance in your normal hormone levels. each experience is individualized so the effects abate at different rates. my advice is: if there is anything that causes you too much distress as to negatively affect your daily mental and physical functions, seek medical advice(doctor or advice nurse). abstinence is still the best form of prevention/safe sex. hope this helps.
Okay – I really need some advice and input at the moment.
Heres what happened:
On January 2nd 2008, i had my period. it lasted 5 days as normal. the bleeding was normal.
on February 1st (friday), it was day one of my next period. the first day of my cycle is always light, so my boyfriend and i had sex anyhow.
the condom came off, and he came inside me. we immediately went to the chemist and had the MAP within an hour of the sex. and then again 12 hours later.
now – whats concerning me is that it has been 4-5 days, and i should be bleeding heavily from my period: BUT – i havent bled at all!!! I had about 8 drops of blood on the first day, but then nothing at all after that!!
Whats happening to me?
has anyone ever experienced this?
i called the company that makes the pregnancy tests called “first response” and they told me that i had to wait 9 days after the sex, before i can test my self using the “in-stream” tests OR 14 days before i can use the “dip-it in a cup of pee” test, so to speak.
i know that testing myself this early is a waste of time – as apparently the egg doesnt get fertilised until 9-14 days after sex.
can anybody please help me? id like to know if anyone has experienced this.
i have only had very minor cramps.
Comment 67, i am 5 days late for my period, so im in the same boat as you!
is this normal?
i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on my 14th (peak) fertile day so i took plan b on the same day (and the 2nd pill 12 hours later). i wasn’t nauseated or fatigued but i had to sleep off a headache the next day and my breasts have been tender since.
it’s been 10 days since i got my period, which would normally last for only 4-5 days. i don’t get clots but it’s been a light/medium bleeding since saturday. i’ve recently gotten abdominal cramps.
can anyone please tell me when will the bleeding and cramps stop?
I taken the pill Jan 11,2008 and the 12th. The first few days was fine.. Even a few weeks later. I got my cycle but it was a few days late, now I am experiencing horrible stomach pains, tender breast and my menstrual is screwed up. I feel like I am having a miscarriage at times. Feels like something is pushing on my rectum. Gosh it hurts so bad. I took pain pills the pain goes away then it comes back. Its even hard for me to walk is anyone else experiencing this?
I TOOK THE PILL JANUARY 27, 2008 AFTER MY PARTNER INFORMED ME THAT THE CONDOM BUSTED. I THEN GOT MY PERIOD EXACTLY 6 DAYS AFTER THAT ON FEBRUARY 2, 2008.IT WENT OFF FEBRUARY 7, 2008 AND TODAY IS NOW FEBRUARY 10 AND IM BLEEDING AGAIN..BUT ITS VERY LIGHT..IM HAVING ABDOMINAL PAINS(REALLY SHARP PAINS) & VERY BAD BACK PAINS.IM ALWAYS REALLY HUNGRY SO I DONT THINK MY APETITE HAS CHANGED MUCH..IM IN A LOT OF PAIN & REALLY WORRIED.I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW LONG THIS WILL CONTINUE
I’m 13 my boobs are so small people make fun of me sometimes.. everyone in my grade has huge boobs or atleast bigger than mine. i have a sister in the 10th grade and her boobs are as big as mine. i really need some adive.. got any?
I took the morning after pill (plan b) about 6 days ago and now i am bleeding as if i am having my period again, but i just finished my period like 4 days before i took the pill. Could this mean that i am pregnant or is it just the way that the pill works?
somebody PLEASE respond fast =(
I took Lovell on Saturday 9th Feb night after an accident on Thurs 7th Feb afternoon. Since Sunday I have had light bleeding of a brown colour and the most horrendous cramps.. this has been going on for 5 days after taking the morning after pill. I was due for period, but sore boobs have gone, in replace I have dizziness, cramps, and tiredness all the time, how long does this last after taking the pill?
Here is my story
I had my last period on 25 January
On the 3rd February I had sex with my bf and the stupid condom slipped, he didn’t finish but is still was worried and next day I took a morning pill, and no side effects.
Then on 5th he had sex again and this time the condom broke. You see that I am unlucky. The same day within one hour I took another morning pill. And again no side effects right away. I know that this two pills must really mess up with my menstrual cycle. By the way I took levonorgestrel in a dose of 1.5 mg
I should start my period on 21st February. But on 14th I had some weird bleeding, today 15th I still have this bleeding. I don’t know if this I my period or it is the implantation bleeding. I hope it is my period, and that I am not pregnant.
But I see that many women and girls wrote here that they had bleeding, so I guess this is ok. I also my boobs hurt pretty badly for 5 days, I am tired and pretty sick, but I didn’t throw up yet. Anyway I am sill waiting some days and I will take a pregnancy test. I promise I will write again and tell you what happened.
to 82 it may be both nobody can be sure
you just have to wait a little bit and then to take a pregnency test. and you should wait around 12 days from the moment ure ovulation was supposed to take palce. and then if the test is positive u should consult a doctor
to 83 this dizziness, cramps, and tiredness can last a long time because the pill messed with ure menstrual cycle, and therefore messed with ure heath.
to 81 the fact that u have small boobs can be because it is genetic. as u said ure sister has small boobs too
to 80 as all girls here u should wait
as i said before this pills mess with our health and they chance us. but if u feel bad maybe u should see a doctor.
to 79 u seem to feel bad i would tottaly consult a doctor if i were u
to 78 nobody can really tell u
because many of us took the same pills but as u can see all have different side effects on each of us
to 76 as i said before ure menstrual cycle is messed up, you took the pills that have different hormones, and ure body wasn’t expecting them thats why ure periond ended
but you should wait and still take a pregnecy test in any case

So I had unprotected sex with my on and off again partner… We were basically just getting started, when he barely put it in, and then climaxed a moment later.. It all happened so quick.. I was just reaching for the condom. Anyway, I panicked all night, then ran to target about 12 hours later and took Plan b, as directed… It’s been an extremely rough week…I’ve experienced fatique, cramps daily, a head ache here and there, loss of appetite, chills, shakiness, anxiety, sharp abdominal pains, gas… Not a single bit of spotting, until today. It’s been 8 days, and I started my period… Thank GOD!!! All I can say is I’m pretty sure all is well.. But Plan B is definately hardcore stuff. Please ladies, let’s all be a little more careful next time. It’s going to be up to us to make sure of it! I’ve definately learned a lesson the hard way.
Hi all,
I had unprotected sex, and def came in me.
I had the next on a friday night, but my period came on the Sunday.
I went to get the morning after pill anyways to be sure,but the pharmicist says I should be fine without it as i was bleeding. Since then,iv been goin to toilet more,developed thrush and had an increase in appetite. Do u think I could be pregnant even though iv had a period.(my nxt one isnt due for a week)..
yes you may be pregnant
read this http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/pregnantperiod.html
thats what scares me too
it is not uncommon to find that many women do report getting what seem like regular periods during early pregnancy. The bleeding that pregnant women complain about though is not truly a menstrual period. It can be called as early pregnancy bleeding.

this is scary!!!
Another update…
I posted a statement a few weeks again.. Everything I experienced is not as bad. All my horrible pains are gone.. But my concern is the bleeding.. I stopped bleeding for a few days and boy was I lucky.. After a week went by, I started bleeding all over again and here comes the cramps and bloating and very bad gas.. I am so tired of this, if I knew this would have taken my ody through all these changes I would hve never consumed the pill.. I always had a regular menstrual, lasting for only 3-4 days and now bleeding for days and weeks at a time, makes me feel very disgusting and I have no control over it.. Can anyone please tell me how long have they been bleeding since consuming the pill…
I had unprotected w/my boyfriend on Feb. 3rd. Took Plan B. I was scheduled to get my period, 1 week later and I just spotted. The week after that, Feb 17th, I got my period. Every day of my period has been like the first day. Heavy, water like, and cramping. I usually only get my period for 4 days, but this is going on day 5. I wish it would just stop. But I guess this is better than being pregnant.
Hi all,
For those of you who took the morning after pill it prevents the release of the egg and planting in the uteras if you have already ovulated. Therefore 98-99% effective to not get pregnant. If you had an act of unprotected sex during any day of your cycle and then take the morning after pill only 2 out of 3 will get pregnant. It does not cause abortions and reduces the chance of getting pregnant. I have had received my period before and taken the morning pill, and taken pregnancy test when I thought I was still a chance of pregnancy to find a negative result. Later finding myself in the middle of a misscarriage. The best time to test for pregnancy is three weeks after the time you think you could have become pregnant and in the morning. HCG hormone is strongest then.
It’s always best to go to the doctor or talk to your doctor if you feel something is wrong.
Depending on the pills you take side effects are different for each woman. It depends on your hormone levels you already have that the pill can cause changes to your normalties. I just started taking birth control pills again and I have the same gassy issues but I have not started my period since. They just act different for each of us. My doctor says give it a month and if still have problems can change the dose amount.
I have taken the morning after pill and i was then sick about 1/2 an hour after will it still work and also i have being getting really bad stomach ache and headache and feeling sick is this normal.
I took the morning after pill two weeks ago tommorow. I didnt really have any side effects…my breasts were tender but not unbearable. I started my period this morning. What I am wondering is this I finnaly talked my mom into letting me get on the pill (im 17) and i went to the doc last week and got it. My doc said take it the first day of my period but i forgot to tell her i took the MAP… should I still start taking the birth control or wait until next month even though my body seems normal???
i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend late friday night early saturday morning, i took the MAP yesterday (monday) and woke up this morning bad tummy pains pains mostly in my lower back. feeling sick and tired. very worrid looking through all the comments. but also being having ymmuy pains before i became sexually action with my boyfriend. is there anything i can do to try and get on with day to day life with out being in too much discomfort? help me please.
I had unprotected sex last tuesday night and early wednesday morning. I took morning after pills after nine hours of intercourse. For the whole day i was tired and nausesous. After almost a week i still have stomach cramps, breast tenderness and loss off appetite
I had unprotected sex and took the MAP a few days before my period was due. I am now about a week late in my periods. I know that climax didn’t happen and I was not in my fertile phase. So chances are minute. But still the delay in menstruation is certainly a worry!!
I had unprotected sex last Sunday morning and then took the pill that afternoon. I was off my period that Saturday, but then started bleeding on Thursday. Now it feels like a normal period even though I just got off mine. I too have a loss in appetite and a little discomfort in my abdomin area. I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one experiencing this..so I guess this means this is common from taking that pill? What I dont understand is I took the pill 6 days ago and this is just now happening? I’m really scared too.
I would think that taking a pill that’s designed to terminate a possible pregnancy would of course be filled with side effects. If you’re that worried, take better precautions.

Hi girls.
I too took the MAP on the 1st day after UP Intercourse, 5 days later, I too started spotting, accompanied with headaches, feeling sick, pains, dizyness and breast tenderness. I know you do get side affects, but this evening I have been told that If you start to bleed within 5 days, then this infact could be inplantation bleed. and that a pg test should be carried out at the earliest opportunity, sorry to alarm you, but wanted to share my information

about 14 days ago i had PROTECTED sex with my boyfriend, but still used the day after pill because we both get very paranoid about pregnancy. i got my period a week after i took the pill but the period only lasted 2 days (which is weird to me, i think). the day after my period i started my first pack of yaz birth control pills and my boyfriend and i kind of fooled around and PREcum may have gotten on my vagina, but he for sure did not go inside at all. but 3 days after this happened i have been feeling pregnant. i have been having very bad low back pains, and pretty nauseous.. do any of you think i have anything to worry about, or am i just being paranoid? please answer, thank you guys. btw all ur posts are making me feel a lot better that im not the only one out there like this
I took the morning after pill last tuesday after the condom split on the sunday. THis morning (monday) i started to get really dark blood, with black clots in it! i was scared that i may still have been pregnant after taking the pill and had a miscarriage, thankfully i have read people’s comments on here and i am pretty sure that it’s just the pill thats making me bleed. I also have very bad abdominal pains that are alot different than normal period pains.
my bf and i had sex 2 weeks ago, well i know i’m kind a fertile that day, but he pulled out, so i didnt worry at first, but when i started to notice that my period as delayed, gosh.. i started to think i’m pregnant..i take Pt but it was negative, my friend says that its too early to use Pt. but when i started to surf the net reg. signs of pregnancy i started to freaked out, coz i felt all the signs..i even consult an OB but still too early she said.. and and after a week i got my period, the problem was though i’m having my period, i still feel the signs of pregnancy( back pain, sore breast,etc) i never felt this before whenever i had my period. i read the post above reg.ectopic pregnancy, i’m only 24 yrs old, and i dont know what to do. ls help.
I took the pill about 2 weeks ago and 4 days later noticed that I was feeling a bit more emotional than usual. There was a lot going on, including a death of a coworker, and some other stressful events… so I didnt think much of it.. then about a week ago I started feeling very nauseus… I got a bad sinus infection that I am now trying to get over… However, The nausea, mood swings, Dizziness, irritability, head-aches, and simply being incredibly emotional are still present symptoms. There was spotting 2 days ago, but nothing since. No tenderness and no real cramps or back pain. I have never been on birth control before, and am wondering how long the emotional side effects are going to last. Or “How long do the hormones stay in my body” rather. I am driving everyone crazy with my mood swings. Thanks
i had unprotected sex last night (prom night…stupid i know) and took plan b tonight….its only been a few hours but im just really scared of getting the symptoms u all have had
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex may 29 and I took the morning after pill 46 hours later. I noticed a couple of days later that I am having back pain and feels like pressure on my stomache (not lower adomen but actuall stomache like when I lay flat on my slomache it feels like I have a knot in the center almost like there somethin there)gas and very emotional. it is now may 6 and I started spotting 2 days ago but now I am bleeding really heavy and yesterday it was a wierd color. I am having really bad cramp now also but there’s another catch to my question…I had sex again on may 3rd(3days ago)and the condom busted this time and my period wasn’t due for another 1 week or so could I be pregnant since the condom busted 2-3 days after taking plan b? when should I wait to take a pregnancy test since it happened twice and im bleeding really heavy now? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!
i took the morning after pill about a week and half ago and i’ve had the most intense cramps of my life. I haven’t had any spotting or breast tenderness or any of the other syptoms, just horrible, horrible cramps. I don’t have a doctor and can’t afford to go to one. What do I do?
My period is 3 weeks late. I am 40 years old and my period is always every 28 to 29 days. I had unprotected sex on April 10th which was right after my period so should have been an infertile time but I took the morning after pill 12 hours later just the same.
A week later, ovulation time, I spotted for 2 days, different colour from a period.
This has never happened to me before, except when I was pregnant 13 years ago.
And now, I’m 3 weeks late for my period.
I’ve been feeling physicall tired a lot, a bit dizzy at times and now my breasts are a bit tender and feel a bit fuller.
I’ve take 3 home pregnancy tests, one each week, last one today. All negative.
Could I be pregnant and still getting negative results?
Or is all of this residual effects of the pill?
I really hope someone can shed some light on this for me.
Thanks.
I’ve ben having lots of symptoms (diarrhea, nausea, chills, shortness of breath, swollen eyes…) and also night sweats. Has anyone passed through this? It’s been almost 3 weeks since I took plan B. I’m worried about the night sweats (I had them twice), are they symptoms of the morning-pill?? what’s going on?? ***PLEASE, comment!!!!!
thisisgettingold, I feel absolutely the same things you do, too…
Is there anything that helps or prevents the symptoms of the morning after pill?? Any takers?
I am 39, I took the pills 12 hours after unprotected sex and no immediate bleeding like the pharmacist said there would be. I got my next period 2 days earlier than usual and have now been bleeding 19 days. Not a normal flow… it is an unusual brown/pink colour, chunky and clotty. Might use my brains a bit more next time…
i took the morning after pill like 4 hours after unprotected sex. it has been around 9 days and i have bleeding going on, but its not like my normal period, it is sort of lighter. is this normal? or am i pregnant?
I took the plan b 7 days ago 14 hours after unprotected sex and my period had just went off the day prior..but then spots really lightly for one day then went back off. Now it is on again and really heavy( no cramps, some lower back pain, and a slight headaches)…Is that normal? Is it a miscarriage…lots of clots? Really worried please comment.
I am a 25 year old female. I had sex with my bf during the week of May 4-10 we used condoms but the condom appeared to slid off a bit. I took the morning after pill just to be on the safe side. I got my period on May 15 and then on June 3 they were normal periods NOT spotting. Since then I have not gotten another period. For the past week I have had back aches, cramps, bloating, a little bit of nausea, swollen sore breasts. I have not had sex since the week of May that I mentioned earlier. I took some pregnancy tests recently to just be sure and they were negative. Should I be concerned since it has been 31 days since my last period. Could my body just be being effected from taking the morning after pill. I have been on birth control and I used to feel sick with similar symptoms as listed above before my period when i was on the birth control pill
Is it okay to take Plan B pill while you’re eating a meal? Would food interfere with the pill at all?
Yes,after having ipill on 4th June 08,I got my periods.Even after my periods, I get night sweat,breathing becomes fast and terrible anxiety sometimes.
Its all because of the hormone according to my doctor.
It might stay for 1-4 months.
My doctor said this pills contain heavy dose of hormones and it starts acting weird.
Next time I will rather take precaution than going through this again.
What I have come to know from my doctor is that these pills have terrible side effects depending on the person and age.
Nightsweat,stomachcramps,shortness of breath,palpitation,dizziness,nausea,
craving for food,weight gain and anxiety.
I got terrible anxiety and sleep disturbance and still I am undergoing the pain,I took the pills last month.It is a sick feeling.
This pills are steroid hormones and I can imagine the side effects.
I will never ever commit the mistake of taking the pills again.
Precaution is better than cure!!!!!
I had unprotected sex last Tuesday, the day after I finished my period. I took the Plan B pill the next day (for the 1st time ever). Just yesterday, 1 exact week after I finished my last period, I started my period again! Is this normal? From what I’m reading it seems like it throws your period off, but I didnt think I was going to get it back so soon.
It’s too bad that people read and post here after taking the morning after pill. If you haven’t already, don’t do it. For one thing, if you’re not ready for the possibility of having children — don’t have sex. There is no such thing as “safe sex” there is ALWAYS the possibility of becoming pregnant or contracting an STD, or STI.
If you get pregnant, the child is here. Accept that and have a baby. There not as terrible as some might lead you to believe.
Sometimes the morning after pill prevents rather than takes a life, but often what happens after taking the morning after pill is an early abortion. Abortion is murder of a human being, a person. An innocent child. (You are not supposed to murder did you miss that law?)
I took the morning after pill 3 days ago after having unprotected sex with someone who is not my regular partner, which was a huge mistake. I have experienced minor side effects, mostly I feel short of breath and a little sensitive in my abdomen. I had unprotected sex today with my regular partner (when he returned from a long trip) but I have just read on another website that this is not recommended. Can someone tell me what what happens if a woman has unprotected sex after taking the morning after pill..please. I am in a foreign country without a lot of information.
I’ve taken Plan B like six times within the past two months. My last period was during the end of May. I’ve taken two at home pregnancy tests and they both came out negative. I’ve gained a few lbs, I’m tired all the time, nauteous, and very very moody. These all sound like signs of pregnancy to me, but now I’m wondering if my cycle is just messed up from taking the emergency contraceptive too many times. The nurse practitioner assured me that there would be no problems with over usage.
I took the morning after pill 3 days after unprotected sex. My Boyfriend didnt bust in me but I also think i missed one of my birth control pills in that same week. I have been experiencing nausea for the past 5 days after I took both pills. I dont think I’m pregnant but the way I feel makes me think so.
So does anyone ever answer these questions? It looks like everyone is having similar symptoms, but no answers are ever posted!
I took Plan B on June 10th. Had my period twice that month. It is now July 28th, and I still haven’t gotten my period. I know I’m not pregnant because I have no symptoms of anything. But just to be sure I am taking a test this weekend. Anyway, the only weird thing is that I’ve been spotting dark brown, almost like old blood, for about a week now. I’m not sure if this is my period? Or what is going on? But I spoke to a girl who took Plan B 3 months ago and she still hasn’t gotten her period. SO, to sum it all up… I will never EVER take this again. It has been a horrible 2 months and being responsible with sex is SO worth it once you experience the anxiety this pill creates!
i took the pill yesterday and after 6 hours i was sick,is this normal???
I took the morning after pill on june 21 and got my period 1 week later. It is now August 2 and still no period is this normal?
i took Plan B about 4 days ago.. July 30. i had unprotected sex on July 28th. i haven’t had any side effects. no bleeding. no vomiting. no dizziness or nausea. so.. if that helps anyone. i’m kind of not worried about it either. i’m just waiting for anytime around Aug 17th to have my period.. the only thing i noticed is that it seems like i’m ovulating now.. which is a little early for me… is that normal?
well hi ladies i just took the plan b on july the 30 and today is aug 3 i started bleeding yesturday and since then i have had thee most painful and annoing lower back and abdominal pain also on my legs,thies, and i have experienced naucea and more sharp pains in my abdominal kind of like the ones you get on your 9th or 9 1/2 pregnancy month it is terrible by reading all of the comments i guess it is normal but it is definetly somthing that i will never take again oh by the way i had not got a period in the last 8 months because i nurce my 9 month old baby. i will never take this again.!!! ouch!!
124 – I can’t seriously believe how narrow minded your comment is. Well done for possibly scaring some 16 year old girl out of taking the morning after pill to prevent NOT abort a pregancy she is not ready to have. i suppose you think it’s better that a baby is bought into the world that is not wanted.
To everyone else, I’ve taken the morning after pill twice now after the condom had split. The syptoms most people are describing are pretty normal and are pretty horrible and your cycle may be messed up for a while, but trust me they do go away and you do get a normal cycle again. Of course if it’s worrying you or your symptoms have lasted a while I would speak to your doctor.
I was using contraception pills, but decided to have a break, because i went overseas. While being there, i didn’t finish the whole course of pills, stopped taking them approximately in the middle of the pack. My periods started earlier. Then i had an accident with my bfriend on 1st of August and next morning took a morning after pill… Today is 7th of August and my periods suppose to come, but instead for last 4 days i have the pains which feel like monthly pains, but there is no menstruation still…. I went to see the doctor, but she didn’t give any proper information, just said if periods won’t start take a pregnancy test. But i’m stressing out so much, and i want to know what is going on with my body!!
hey.. i’m also comment 132..
i was just wondering.. i haven’t had any of these side effects until Thursday august 7 exactly 8 days after i took the morning after pill.. on that day i started spotting or.. having a light period.. i’m not too sure. but today, august 10… 12 days after taking the morning after pill.. i couldn’t hold my breakfast down.. and i puked.. is it normal to have this side effect this late after taking the pill? my period shouldn’t actually be here until next sunday.. but it might be early…
it doesnt sound like i’m pregnant.. right?
please help.
I took Plan B pills 2 weeks ago. An hour later (after the second pill) I started experiencing nausea, a few hours later got a bad pain in my abdominal. In addition to all this, a day later I developed a headache. I felt so bad I didn’t feel like eating, however at night I was so hungry that I couldn’t stop eating. Got a back pain and bloody spotting 2 days later. I felt so miserable, I couldn’t concentrate on anything. I also felt very depressed. I was afraid all these symptoms would never go away. On day 10 I told my friend about the side effects I was experiencing. She shared with me something that in 3 days stopped all of them. It was an all-natural supplement which besides many benefits had a detoxifying effect. I went ahead and purchased more of it, even though I have been feeling well since. I bought it online maxgxl.com/yourhealth
Hey, i took m.a.p about 2 weeks ago and had my period a week after (which is a week early for me). the cycle was a bit longer than usual but i finished it about 3 days ago. Now ive got some spotting and period cramps which is annoying =(
Im pretty sure im not pregnant as i’ve allready had a period and looking at the other comments everyone has left it looks like this may be quite a normal. i just hope this spotting doesnt last too long.
I took the day after pill on the 26 and now its ben 3 weeks. I been having spotting bleeding. though I notice it only when I wipe. I am expected to have my next pireod on the 21 or 24. Is it normal for wipe little dots of blood?
Hey. After having very drunken sex with not a regular partner nearly 3 week ago, i took the emergency pill as soon as the chemist open the morning after. Since then about a week later i had what i thought was a period, but it was only light and lasted 2 days. After only jus finishing my period the day before the incident i thought this was rather strange. My next period is due on saturday, and i’ve been having servere stomache cramps since monday? I’m now beginning to stress as i don’t really understand the whole light period thing. Being only 16, it was one stupid silly mistake, which i regret. I’ve decided that if i don’t come on by the weekend then i’m going to take a pregnancy test anyway. I’ll keep u posted. If anybody’s had any of the similar symptons, please feel free to let me know. Thanx.
after having unprotected sex with a friend of mines (very silly of me)…i got the MAP 25hours later..i was told only about some nausea within 3hours of ingestion..nothing else..that evening i felt fine till about 1am(way passed the 3hour marker) i felt the urge to vomit and dizziness and a fever going hot to cold…having never taken the MAP before i just want to know its not something serious….its now 28hours after taken the pill and i still have the same symptoms but noticing my back is starting to hurt the constant need to pass urine but nothings being passed and im hungry but unable to eat at all….i noticed some of these symptoms seem to be a normal thing…but the rest is it just me being over worried and stressed or is this also a side effect…any help would be gratefully appreciated….thanks..x
i took the morning after pill 9 hrs after unprotected sex. and then a couple hours later got really bad dihorea. i was meant to take the next pill at 1 am 12 hrs later, my alarm didnt go off and i took it at 5 am. i have fatigue and vomiting and nausea..what does this mean?
I used to be on a regular form of birth control and use condoms as a backup method. But i stopped taking them about a year ago after having bad side effects from them. I have had PROTECTED sex with my boyfriend three times in the last month and becasue I have such a fear of getting pregnant decided to take the morning after pill each time. Now I am spotting and I just ended my last period a week ago. I am freaking out right now becasue I am scared that using them that much may cause serious long term medical problems. I am never taking this pill again becasue I am sooo scared of what it may do to you. Has anyone else taken it often regularly and experienced any problems??
I had sex on Aug. 8 (my fertile peak) and I don’t think he came in me but I dont want to take any chances. I took the pill on Aug. 15th (Didn’t think about this pill until I started freaking) I don’t know if it is going to work or not but I have taken the pill and my breast seem a bit tender but they also seem to have shrunk. My cycle is due to start on Aug. 23th. I haven’t had any of the symptoms anyone else seems to have and it has been 6 days. I have no idea what will happen. If anyone has been in this position, please let me know.
my first time taking the pill (Plan B) was about a month ago and i did not experience any of this side effects that ya ladies say to have.i got my period a week after and it was normal. im so thankful. but i think that the reason that some women have those severe side effects is because maybe ya take the pills as a routine birth control and it is for emergencies only, it says right there on the box, that you should not make it a routine to take the pill everytime your partner nuts inside you. also it clearly has the side effects printed on the back so it is just normal.
Ive taken the morning after pill within 48 its been a little over a week and im heavy bright bleeding, looks like blood clots as well, and sick to my stomach!
umm.. i took that pill 5 days ago 19 or 18 hours after the incident. my bf thinks i’m not since we used a spermicidal condom but it ripped. he didn’t come though and we did it 5 days after my period stopped. everything was fine after 3 days but then i got an immunization shot for tetanus. and now i’m worried that the shot would somehow coincide with the pill and make it not work. i’m so scared that i am pregnant now. now after 7 days, i’m bleeding. i’m not sure if it’s implantation bleeding. i’m so scared.. someone please help me.
I got my period normally in july and then the condom broke the day after my period ended…so i took the day after pill 2 days later….i then got my period from the pill a week later….liek usuall…so that all was fine…but now its been 27 days and i havent gotten my period again….Ive had sex inbetweeen but there havent been any problems…does it usually take long to get ur period after u take the pilll??

Ok here it goes;
I took a morning after pill some time in june, and I never had any symptoms from it, I had my period as normal about 2 weeks later. A week after my period, I started my period again… It was normal lasted 3 to 4 days as usual, how ever 2 days after my period was over, my boyfriend came in me!! PUNK! So I took another morning after pill, I know its not good to take them like that, but I had no other choice. Its been almost 2 months and I have not had my period??…. I have had some stomach pains that left me crying all night long, and lower back pain; i have taken 4 prego test and they came back negative….What do you suggest? Plz need advice?!??!!
My husband and I had a slight accident after a night out, and we have a 9 months old so we are not ready for baby # two yet…so I took the 72 hour pill july 20th I got my period a weeka nd a half later, it’s now September 15th and I have yet to get it again. I am still having lower back pain and lower abdomen pain occasionally…I have taken several preg. test and they were all negitive, I am hoping that this is normal and there is nothing wrong with me, if I am prego then great we will just deal with having onther baby…but I just hope its nothing serious..Help!
i took the morning after pill over a week ago… i was in the middle of my period when i took it and it had yet to stop… i’ve also been really moody and have noticed that there’s been blood clots… i don’t know if i should go to the doctor or not.
I took the morning after pill two weeks ago and got my period a week early but it was more like spotting not my normal period and only a little discomfort in my abdominal area (normally I have very heavy period with very uncomfortable abdominal pain). My period should have had come tomorrow…other than spotting for four days I have been constipated and a bit of breast sensitivity that does not get worst.
I took the map on the 18 of August (both pills within 12 hours) and then again on the 26 of august(took both pills together) and was bleeding after taking both times. I was supposed to get my period on or around sept. 9th….its now the 22nd and still havent got it. Did the pills delay my period?
My bf and i had unprotected sex on my period and HE went inside me. So i freaked out and i took plan b. Everybody elses story is really scary and i already took the first pill of plan b. Can anyone tell me if Iam going to have my period extra long because iam still on it. (iam on day 5 so will it end or continue??)
my menstrual cycle (which was perfect before the damn pill) is totally disturbed. i had periods after 4 days of taking the morning after pill. 2 days – then – just two drops the next month – that too, quite late. again, two drops – the month after that – again later than the previous month…the third month, now running – no periods! i have gone mad. done three preg tests – all negative! SOMEBODY HELP!
It seems to me that we have so many questions that no one is answering. I am experiencing the non stop bleeding and abdominal pain as well. I finally called the Plan B information line and they told me that wasn’t my period since I just had one a week and a half ago. They said all you can do is wait until you’re supposed to have your next period. Apparently the only way to know for sure if the drug was effective is if you get your next period.
I Finished my period last monday and the day after that i had sex with my boyfriend, the condom broke so we went and got the after pill the nxt morning and then 2 days after i took the pill i got my period again, all my friends said when then took the pill that didnt happen to them. there is no chance i could be pregnet, could there?
I am on the pill, i stopped taken it so that i would come on my period, and on wednesday i started taken it again. I then had sex that same night after taken just one pill. Two days later i was experiencing burning while urinating, the burning has wore off a little now although it is still a little uncomfortable, but now i am experiencing really bad pains in my right lower side, what could this mean? Please help
I just wanted to take some of the fear away for some people. I had no side effects at all from the morning after pill. I scared myself silly reading all these comments before I took it. I had a normal period, 3 days later than normal.
The doctors told me there is no normal reaction, some people get a heavy period straight after and some people dont, some people feel sick, others dont..
But going to a doctors, sexual health clinic or something really helped me answer those questions and to get tested for STD’s etc.
Took the Levonelle one step pill nearly two weeks ago. 2 hours later I had moderate cramps for a few hours and have had mild cramps and the occasional sharp pain nearly every day. Had breast tenderness for a few days and felt hungrier as well. Took it a couple of years ago and don’t remember having all these side effects, have been lucky though cos I haven’t felt sick off either of them. It’s comforting to know that it’s not just me experiencing side effects – the company that makes it is grossly misadvertising these.
my friend told me that you were only suppose to take one pill, but i was given two by my doctors, and it been 5 days and all day today and some of yesterday i have fell like throughing up but cant.
and i had read most of the comment above and out of all of them i only found one that has the common side affect as me, the thing that really scards me is that i havent experanced any bleeding of anykind, just sick to the stomic.
so can anyone please tell me if this is the normal side affect, becuae right now i really hope it is.
so if you do please email me on loveme_772@hotmail.com
gosh, reading all this really makes me want to not take that pill!!!
I took the 1st pill of the plan B and now 6 hours later I have been having pain while urinating and always feeling the need to go and worst of all there is blood in my urine. I am totally freaking out and i saw others had similar side effects and i just want to know how long this is going to last because i am going absolutly insane. Please HELP!
I took the morning after pill almost 3 weeks ago. About 4 days after taking it I had a small cycle with few cramp. Now it is the time that I really should be starting my cycle I feel bloated, I have pain in my upper abdomen, I fell sick at the stomach daily, I get terrible headaches, and I am way too emotional up and down with happiness and sadness. I am really starting to worry.
I TOOK THE MORNING AFTER PILL A MONTH AGO AND NOW THAT MY MENSTRATION HAS STARTED BACK I’V BEEN PASSING LARGE AMOUNTS OF BLOODY CLOTS IS THAT NORMAL?
I took levonelle about a month ago and since then have had 3 heavy periods? with painful cramps and blood clots. Never had any problems with my period before. Will never take this again.
My daughter took the morning after pill in Sept and had a period Oct1 to 5. Suddenly she started bleeding again Oct 17. She has always been very regular (almost always to the day). She bleed lightly for the fist day, stopped completely the next, and on the third day started bleeding so heavily she went through a pad and tampon every hour for about 12 hours. She was very pale and weak so called the doctor. Her gynogologist said this is normal side effects for the morning after pill and can last up to three months after taking it. He still is going to see her this week because she is still bleeding and passing nickel size clots on a regular basis.
FYI I was also took by the gynogolist the only was to know if your symptoms are from a early miscarrage (spontainous abortion) or etopic pregnacy is by a blood pregnacy test. (some health clinics will do this for free even for minors). She also has very black colored blood which I was told is also quite normal. I will let you all know if he is going to do a D & C to rid the clots or just have her douche occasionally and ride it out for months.
I took the morning after pill in the early part of october, i took the two pills at the same time. A week after my period came,about two days after my period was finished i had to take the morning after pill again…and i took the both pills at the same time…i had rough sex a few days after and now im bleeding which looks like my period again. I get very moody and feel fatigue at times. Whats wrong?
It’s nice to know that people are going through the same thing as me.
Ive taken the morning after pill (postinor-1) 2 hours after unprotected sex, and now 1 week later im experiencing bleeding.
This is the first day of the bleeding and its about 3 weeks off my regular cycle, and reading the previous comments, it doesnt sound like its going to stop, does this mean im pregant? My breasts are very sore.
Can i take a pregnancy test whilst im bleeding? I need some closeure.HELP!
CAN SOMEONE PLZZ HELP??? i took plan b on monday and on wednesday i started spotting sort of brown and red blood..a few times during the day it turns red n thick n bood clots come out as well but then it turns back to brown n barley anything there..im going crazy b/c idk wats goin on..it is now sunday and its still going on..i am supossed to start birth control the sunday after my pd..do i have my pd already???
I’m a little nervous cuz i took the pill exactly 24 hours after unprotected sex and the nurse told me to take both pills at the same time. I took them last nite and I had a few craps about an hour after and since that I haven’t had any other pain or discomfort. I do pee like every hour and its not yellow its clear like water.
But I’m nervous, does this mean that the pills aren’t working? Usually the EC pills cause discomfort and pain but I’m not getting any!
i took the pill 2 days ago and had some stomach pain and my boobs hurt a little but ive felt really upset and tired and depressed and have had no determination to do anything. I cant stop crying as well. Did anyone else have this problem?
I also took morning after pill, three days ago. I had no vomiting problems, but today I have some pain and pressure in my stomach… After I read all these comments I am scared!!! I shouldn’t take the pill. I think it is better having a baby, than massing up the body, the hormones! I am now waiting for some troubles like upper ones… hopping they will never come!
I haven’t read any comment form the girls who had commented one year ago, to tell us what happened to them, did they got better…
I found this on internet:
Levonorgestrel emergency contraceptive side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Call your doctor at once if you have severe pain in your lower stomach or side. This could be a sign of a tubal pregnancy (a pregnancy that implants in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus). A tubal pregnancy is a medical emergency.
Less serious side effects may include:
*
nausea, diarrhea, or stomach pain;
*
breast pain or tenderness;
*
dizziness, tired feeling;
*
breast pain or tenderness;
*
changes in your menstrual periods; or
*
headache.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Tell your doctor about any unusual or bothersome side effect.
I took the morning after pill like 3 weeks ago and i never experineced nothing like what i have read in the other comments but a month ago was the last time i got my period and i was suppose to get my period 2 days ago and its not here yet so im starting to worry that maybe the pill didnt work or something and i took it like 12 hours after the little accident i had…

I took the day after pill 3 days after conception…. august 17 and i’m 10 weeks pregnant. I felt like I was going to have a miscarrage I spotted a small amount but not alot. When I didnt start my period the next week I knew something was up. I went to the doctor and he told me I was pregnant. I guess that was gods way of telling me i’m ready.
I had sex with my now ex boyfriend on 26/27 Sept. We used condoms but because i dont trust them on their own, took Levonelle MAP on 28th. Felt ok and started what I thought was my period on 12 Oct. But it was very light, as i only need a pantyliner but neally black in colour and usually my period is very very heavy. Now for the past week or so I have been feeling nauseous, today was especially bad and my breast are tender. Ive taken 3 preg tests but they have been negative. I am still bleeding till this day, so that is for over a month now. I’m really worried that I am pregnant as I am feeling so rough. Has anyone experienced symptoms like these and not been pregnant.
I took the MAP the day after I had sex. This was the last weekend of october. I took both pills at the same time. I felt sick a few hours later but it passed. only a few days later i woke up and felt like hell. I through up for like 6 or so hours straight like i had the flu or something but it to passed..a few days ago i had this OVERWHELMING pain in my back..almost like the back labor i had with my son..but again it to passed…I am supposed to start my period next week..my boobs tender but not unbearable…I took 2 pregnancy tests and both negative but i dont fell like i am going to start my period like i usually do. has anyone else felt like this?? I also noticed nobody ever answers these things…if you have been through this before..help us women out PLEASE!!!
IT IS SAID IF YOU TAKE THOSE PILLS WITH A FULL STOMACH IT REDUCES THE CHANCES OF AN UPSET STOMACH…i will be on here again to let everyone know what goes on in the next week….thanks for listenin..lol
I took the pill Nov 10, 27 hrs after having unprotected sex. After taking the first pill I begun to have symptoms of a unrinary tract infection, and a yeast infection. Then 6 days later my cycle started for the second time this month. I am having a breast reduction surgery thursday, will this affect my pending procedure?
I took the morning after pill exactly 48 hours after having uprotected sex. Exactly one week later I my cycle came with these huge blood clots and very heavy bleeding. then I started having extreme stomach pains the worst I have ever experience. Diarreah and I became very nauseated and vomiting, now a new symptom has arrived a very bad headache. This pill has some horrible side effects and I will never take it again. Do anyone know how long these symptoms will last.
i have heard the symptoms could last up to 3 months…i haven’t got my period yet..not supposed to for a few more days..but i hope i wont have nothin like that..i cant believe just because we dont want to get pregnant..we slip up once..they make a pill that mess you up something firece…its horrible
unfortunately i have had to take the morning pill several times over the years as i can’t seem to be able to take normal contraception. i normally wouldn’t post anything like this but after reading all the bad affects people have, i must report that mine have always been rather mild, no problems. however this time my breasts are very sore & much bigger after taking the pills two weeks ago. i hope its not pregnancy as i had a normal period around the normal time. anyway will take a test tomorrow.
WELL HAPPY TO REPORT EVEN THOUGH RIGHT AFTER I TOOK M.A.P. I DID HAVE SOME MILD SYMPTOMS BUT NOTHING HORRIBLE…I STARTED MY PERIOD THE DAY I WAS SUPPOSED TO..SO SOME PEOPLE DONT GET HORRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS…IM GLAD I HAD THIS BLOG THINGY TO SAY SOMETHING ONE…BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY..I WILL NOT TAKE THE M.A.P EVER AGAIN!!!!!

I must say, i have taken the MAP probably 2 times previously and the only symptom I have experienced in the past is probably having 2 periods in one month. I have not experienced any pain, or sickness/nausea, headaches etc. But this time is definately different. I am still experiencing nausea which to me seems like morning sickness. I went to the doctors today and they took blood from me. I should get my results on Monday. How unlucky can a person be to use condoms and the MAP and still get pregnant.
I took the morning after pill this morning, and I’ve experienced slight minor discomfort in my back (very slight) and slight discomfort in my stomach too. I’m starting to wonder if the side effects are psychological, because after reading certain things you feel certain things. One thing that has been different is that I have been going to urinate a lot more than normal, I’m hoping these effects will just pass, or at least that they are psychological.

I took Plan B for the 4th time in about 7 years. The first time, I either got sick from the first pill or was scared to get sick from the second and got pregnant! I’ve taken it a couple other times just to be on the safe side. In Sept. I honestly felt like I had morning sickness the morning after sex which lasted the 3 days until I took the pill…I haven’t felt that way, well, since I was pregnant! I had a strong feeling I would become pregnant and didn’t want to take it but my partner wanted me to so I did. I took it just about at the 72 hr mark…not sure if I made it or not. Once I took it, the “morning sickness” feelings went away. However, when I’ve taken Plan B before, I never cramped, clotted, spotted and always got my period on time. This last time nothing happened until a week later (btw…we had sex 2-3 days after I ended my period). I started having a weird color bleeding or spotting (very light, no pad). I woke up one morning with a tiny red blob in my panties. Another day I had a long dark black “string”. I continued to have weird color “spotting” and the people at Plan B had no answers. I started my period about 4 days early. Apparently my cycle got screwed up and I got pregnant the next month a week before my “Plan B” cycle period was due (well, we had sex a week before then). I got a faint line at 9 days post sex and positives at 12 days. I believe the pregnancy was meant to be (both times) but i am now going through a miscarriage and the things I’ve seen resemble what I experienced after taking Plan B but on a larger scale. I now believe either I miscarried naturally REALLY early or Plan B had something to do with it (I tend to think the latter). I think there must be some point (maybe just as the fertilized egg is implanting) that Plan B will cause an early miscarriage. I’m suffering massively, but mainly from my actual, confirmed pregnancy because I don’t know when I or if I will get the chance to become pregnant again and I was soooooo ready to become pregnant again that I had sensed it about a month prior to Plan B. I will say that after Plan B, I was sad as though I’d lost my baby and I’d never had those feelings before from taking those pills. Just as I felt I was going to get pregnant and that I’d lost a baby, this time I strongly believe I was to have a boy- I had NO morning sickness but had cramping…which I’ve never had with prior pregnancy or even with periods. Anyway, I’ve always felt that there is just NO WAY you would know if you were to get pregnant or not so I never understood the controversy with the Plan B pill but I do now think it can cause early miscarriage in SOME situations. Good luck.
i took the MAP last wed. no symptoms started to show until monday. im bleeding..i guess its my period and im havin pains in my stomach. how long will this pain last?????? someone answer!!
Hi everyone. i have been reading the comments and i wuld also like to know how long the side effects of the emergency contraceptive pill last.i took it 5 weeks ago and still feel really pooly. my doctor says this is normal but how long will it last? i have all the classic pregnancy symptoms but urine and blood tests are negative and i have been bleeding and clotting. i just want it all to stop, i have even been lactating milk from my nipples. anyone had these symptoms and how long did it last?
Please take a pregnancy test. I was on birth control for five years and used condoms all the time. I was extremely adamant about not getting pregnant. I took the morning after pill the day after my boyfriends condom broke and experienced many of the same symptoms you women are all having. Turns out the morning after pill did not work. My period was late and I took a pregnancy test to find out I was 2 months pregnant.
i took the morningafter pill .it did prevent me from not getting pregnent but i had so many back pain,& my vigina was hurting
yeah i took the morning after pill about 2 weeks ago and i got my period three days ago. i read the side effects of the MAP so i was expecting and irregular period but i have been experiencing alot of abdominal pain..not cramps but a sharp pain .. alot of bloating. nauseous back pain .. im worried it might be ectopic pregnancy
I TOOK THE DAY AFTER PILL A LAST WEDNESDAY AND NOW ITS A WEEK LATER AND I HAVEN GOTTEN MY PERIOD N I’VE BEEN CRAMPIN, DIZZINES, NAUSEA, AND SOME BACK PAIN. I DONT KNOW WHAT WHATS WRONG WITHE ME? CAN U HELP?
i took the morning after pill on Nov 28th about 7 hours after unprotected sex with my boyfriend. The following morning the 2nd pill was due, minutes after taking it we had unprotected sex again (dumb.. i’m so dumb!) and then again the next morning. (this will NEVER happen again!) After realizing that the pill wouldnt protect from future acts, i freaked out and went and blew another $40 on another set of pills. This time I took both at the same time, about 11 hours after sex. So this is a total of 2 sets of pills within 3 days…
I assumed I would get nausious, maybe bleed a little.. nope. I didnt have any side effects at all. To me that meant it wasnt working and obviously i’ve been freaking out since.
Thank God this morning i got my period, 2 days before it was due! i wonder if i even needed to take that second set of pills.. or the first ones even. But since it was a week after my period, everything I read said that was my ‘prime baby makin’ time so obviously i felt the need to take the pills.
I dont believe i was ovulating when we had unprotected sex, but i do know i was close because about 4 days later i could feel the pinching in my left side from ovulation (that i’ve become so familiar with in my 22 years).
Anyway, although it was almost $100 and a scary wait, i’m so glad i took those pills. i’m not ready to be a mother. I’m starting my birth control pills as soon as my period is over and i’m never letting my boyfriend have sex with me without a condom again!
be safe ladies! this has seriously scared sense into me.
yea abortion usually has thes effects. you shouldnt play GOD. i pray the Lord will heal you all.
I also took the morning after pill a few hours after unprotected sex… got my period a week early and it’s now been a month and am still bleeding. It’s not as heavy as a period but still very annoying, i get back pain, my breasts are very sore and sometimes feel sick. This is the first time that I have taken this pill and i’m never ever taking it again… I have been to the doctor’s so many times and they have put me on birth control pills to try and make the bleeding stop after a blood test confirmed i was not pregnant however it’s still going! Girls i thought i was the only one going through this, i feel your pain and i wish that there was something we can do just to make the bleeding and cramps etc stop now! Hopefully my bleeding stops as I am getting very depressed about it and hope you all will be okay soon too …
OMG!! you all are freaking me out!! I have M.A.P right here beside me, and im wondering if i should really take them. I had UP sex this morning and got this pills tonight. I don’t know man!! I dont know if im ready to go through all that pain! But when I think Of it…its either having a baby that will last a life time or going through severe pain for a month or so. Im 18. I cant have a baby now I just CANT!! Im just afraid of waking up tomorrow and feeling like crap. Like..its almost christmas!! Do i really wanna go through it NOW?? I’ll keep u all updated, I think im still gonna take them. At 2:30 i’ll do it!! its final! But really, You all are scaring the hell outta me
So I took the M.A.P around 4 this morning. I know I said I’d do it at 2:30 but I was still too scared. Now it’s 11:50am. I feel fine. I think im feeling discomfort in my tummy but nothing dreadfully painful at the moment. One thing I noticed so far is that im super tired. Im at work right now and I can barely keep my eyes open, luckily being tired has no pain invovled. Im still worried though, I have to take the other set at 4pm….what if then is when the pain will really start?! My plan is to drink Ginger Ale and eat crackers, I heard that helps the the nausea. Wish me Luck! I’ll update you after 4!
OMG guys! I’m totally freaked out after reading this! This afternoon (like less than 3 hours ago) I had unprotected sex and my BF got all freaked out and INSISTED that I get a MAP, which he’s NEVER done after ejaculating! I was terrified ’cause about 3 years ago I took one and bleed heavily for 14 days! It’s almost Christmas and I don’t want to go through THAT again! But at the same time, I also don’t want to ahve a BABY right now! So like you, Danielle, I’m going to take that pill! It’s right here beside me! And the most frustrating thing is no one is responding to the dozens of “Is this normal” questions. I guess the anxiety, bleeding, back pain, and general FREAKED OUT mode is normal – they should print THAT on the label!
Hi everyone. I was never able to use hormonal methods of birth control because a) I am anal about what goes into my body and b) just thinking about all the unnecessary hormones circulating through my blood stream. My husband and i have relied quite happily on condoms since we began seeing each other. However, an accident with the condom forced me to the plan B since i am absolutely not ready to be pregnant. As much as i hate it, this was my second time taking the pill. The first time i took it, it was after i had already ovulated for the month and i had ABSOLUTELY NO SIDE EFFECTS. no nausea, no unexpected bleeding. nothing. my period came and went on time. The second time i took the pills ( a week ago) its a different story. It was before i ovulated for the month and needless to say, i unexpectedly started bleeding 5 days after taking the pills. The bleeding is not bad in the sense that its not painful or too heavy, but it IS taking a big emotional toll on me. I feel a constant fatigue and completely alien to my original active self. I have a weird constant discomfort in my lower abdomen and back like ALL the time. I feel severe mood swings. Extremely happy one moment and extremely depressed the next. Its been 3 days since my “unexpected/fake” period started and i feel SO miserable like i have never felt before. But anyway, whats happened has happened. I keep telling myself that my body is strong and it will heal itself. I have been trying to do everything i can in desperation and hopes of getting this whole pill BS over with. I meditate and try to think as positive as i can. I have been trying to eat right (lots of “organic” veggies and fruits). Lots of water and fluids (in hopes of peeing the nasty hormones out) and relying on herbal medications. I found this Asian menstrual support formula that is meant for women experiencing hormonal imbalance due to contraceptives. Will it work? i have no idea but i am just trying to have faith. I looked up on some home remedies to get rid of hormonal imbalance and here’s one- boil coriander seeds in about half liter water and strain the seeds of, drink the water while its still warm (this stuff tastes really REALLY horrible). And finally, i have been praying and promising myself- NEVER AGAIN will i take this pill!… hope this helps and i am a comforted to see that there are other women going through the same thing and i aint alone.
Peace
Miriam
i am worried because i took the after pill a day after i had sex without protection. a week later i notced spotting and it was only for one day why did this happen? please help!!!
Erm…. so… I have taken the morning after pill 12 hours apart and about 4 days after I started to have heavy bleeding. I’ve had slight cramps… and slight back discomfort. I’m just curious to know how long it will last, because I took mine on the 7th day of my menstrual cycle which is about when the uterus lining in building back up and ovulation is about to begin. So does it last a certain time depending on when you took the pill in your menstrual cycle? I know everyone is just saying their symptoms.. but does anyone actually say what’s going on or how long it will last? Because as far as I’ve read.. it has ranged from 2 days to 6 weeks, and that’s a pretty dramatic gap. I’m just hoping this doesn’t last longer than 2 weeks because it is very disturbing. I’ve also been really emotional, crying for the smallest things and not very hungry when I usually am a vacuum cleaner. I hope this goes away sooon, and I can safely say I will never take this darn pill again.
I smoke alot of weed could that affect the morning after pill?
i took plan B an hour after having unprotected sex. and then the second pill 12 hours later.
i haven’t had any vomiting, stomach pains, back pains, none of that.
I just got my period again..The last day of my period was the same day i took the plan b pills.
did it work?!
Answers—-First of all levonelle 1.5mg (for UK) and planB (USA) are very strong progestorone ways to prevent fertilisation. I know I have taken about 7 in 2 years.
If you take the emergancy contraception twice in a cycle it disturbs your period. I had to take it twice this month and had a light period, I’m hoping it is to do with the amount of hormones is in my blood as I had unprotected sex again (3rd time) but started this bleed the night after so figured it’s my messed up period. Hoping it is this as I didn’t take the emergancy contraception for the 3rd time as the pharamacit said I cannot get fertilised as started period. It’s now past the 72 hour window and I’m worried this bleed might have just been spotting from the side effects of levonelle (never had any spotting b4), if it is a side effect then I am not covered for the 3rd instance of unprotected sex. Done a preg test for the previous instances and neg.
Also just to let you know if you have unproteceted sex and then start your period say a day later, you can still get preg. I spoke to a nurse on NHS Direct today (UK service) who said I didn’t need the morning after pill because I just went back on my contraceptive tablet yest (came off it in april) and this will prevent ovulation for januaray’s period so the sperm from sat night (now been in my body for 3 days) cannot fertilise a new egg. THE WARNING if I had not started the reg pill yest then the sperm could fertilise a new egg. So if you have sex then start your period soon, you could still get preg.
Only reason I’m worried even though I spoke to a nurse is this is a really light bleed. It’s only been 2 days but it looks like it’s over and the only reason health advisers have advised me not to go for levonelle is that I’m on a period and now taking the daily pill to stop ovulation. What if they are wrong and this is just spotting.
Sorry it’s a bit long but hope some of the answers help.
I took the morning after pill about 6 hours after having sex, which was about a week before my period should have started. Doctor said my period shouldn’t be disrupted but it hasn’t started yet, I’m about 3 days late and I’m usually regular. Should I be worried?! When I took it before, I got a period within a couple of days…
I took the levongestrel plan b pill 2 days after having unprotected sex. this was december 23rd. I had been getting really sleepy and tired since and just now janruary 2nd, I had to go to the restroom to urine and bood came out. I don’t think its my menstrual period but we’ll see in a few days. however, I am getting adbominal pain.
I’m 16 and I had unprotected sex with my bf about 4 days ago i think on Friday Jan. 2. I took the pill at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, then the second pill 12 hours later at 4:00 a.m. and I haven’t had any side effects from the pill so far. My research says that women will have syntoms from the pill, but I don’t have any. Is this okay? I’ve never taken the pill before.
Why should anyone be surprised that an extremely powerful dose of cancer causing steroids that cause chemical abortions affect your body the way so many women are describing ?
Well, I’m afraid that I know all too well why. And it’s NOT your fault!
My gf took these pills as a result of extreme coercion and didn’t really know what she was taking until she was barfing her brains out and bleeding to the extreme.
The lies of the Barr Pharmaceutical and their the well paid distributors and media won’t tell you the truth.
well i took the pill on the 16th of december n im now pregnant so really i dnt think it works at best of times, not tryin to scare anyone, as i did have tender breasts and back pains so think ur all better off to do a test if ur still feeling that way xx
Here my story, I took the plan B pills in march 2008 spotted for two days (no big deal).A month later in april i got really sick like bad sinus somthing and had started what i thought was my monthly cycle, but about a week early, the bleeding was very heavy, i was changing every half an hour to an hour or if i didnt i soaked my clothes (which had happend a couple of times) even through out the night i would wake up soaked.A few days into the bleeding i started vomiting off in on , i couldent eat, i couldent drink. I was very sick, and had never been sick like this before,EVER! i couldent do anything (i thought i was on my death bed)And thats bad when i have two small children at home that depend on me to take care of them, and i couldent.on the 8th day of bleeding and vomiting and not eating or drinking. i went to the ER. the docter did nothing about the bleeding ,he gave me an iv for dehydration and something for nusia,told me i had cought a bug and sent me home.(B.S.) got home and was still the same,nothing had changed, next day went back to ER saw a diffrent doc. who did a great amount of testing, again was hooked up to iv,givin med. for nusia (which was the strongest they have, it is for those w/cancer to help w/ radiation treatment.)told i might need a blood transfusion due to the amount of blood i lost.the doc had been in touch w/my obgyn and they had put me on birth control pills to stop the bleeding,did work.anyway i was sick for a month due to that plan B.i had taken it one other time and had no problems,but for some reason this time was almost death. heres the thing, we all might think these are normal side effects of plan B, but let me tell you, there is nothing normal about this, as far as i am concerned it should be taken off the market. i am now stuck with all kinds of med. bills and dont have ins. this really sucks. and still to this day i get very dizzy felling around that time of month , for about two weeks.it seems as though i will never be the same again.if you are thinking of taking the plan B, BEWARE!
my period was on 22nd dec and we had unsafe intercourse on 3rd January. on that day after 2 hrs of the same I had one i-pill.
Now I am tendering pain on my leftside of stomach . Can you please tell me am I positive or what I have to do.
please tell me
galUK,
Sperm can live and be waiting to jump on your egg 8 days after sex. Your pharmacists was talking about implantation – not conception. He is playing fast and loose with language and medical ethics.
Hi all. I took the morning after pill and got pregnant last year in August. I subsequently had a miscarriage at 10wks. I would use the morning after pill as a LAST resort as for me it ended in an suprise pregnancy, then a miscarriage which has been agony to deal with. I wish you all the best! Rach
i have one fibroid and the gynecologist has give me the pill for 21 days only.. does anyone knowes if i can get straight after that pregnant when is top the pill after 21 days?
i had sex with someone and when we were done he had texted me several of times to please take an after pill or something. i wa really confused and dudnt know why but i took it. i was spotting that night and couple ofg days later. ive been having backpains and my breast have been very sensitive. i gets pains as if they were cramps but they last for hours! ive also been getting headaches, ive been getting really tired fast and i dont feel like eating sometimes. i cant handle the pain, pills dont work for any of the pain. i dont know whats going on but im freaked out and in pain.
hie all.I also have most of these discomforts.I took the MAP on 23 nov 2008 and the second dose 12 hours later.my period started 6 days later and lasted for 6 days,normal flow.about 2 weeks later i had these terrible abdominal and lower back pains.then i felt gas and i belch even when i am hungry,i yawn frequently a sign of fatigue. i also suspect that i have constipation.i tested myself twice for pregnancy and the result was negative.I think these pills should be taken off the market.
I took the pill a little over a month ago and I am still yet to start my period. They say the morning after pill can cause early peiords and also delay periods. I’m very concerned at this point. As of now I’m about a week and a half late. Anyone else have this problem
i took the morning after pill a month and a few days ago,no pains,i still have no period,
would like to know your view on this.thank you
hey i had sex for the first time a couple of weeks ago,im 18 years old and in the past 2 weeks ive had sex with 6 different guys… anyway im new to all this morning after pill..
but a few nites ago me and a random had unprotected sex and as he was about to blow his load, he tried to pull out but i was on the verge of havin a big orgasim, so i told him not to take his penis out, so he blew all the way inside of me, waw, it was a big turn on but now i regret it, i took the morning after pill just now, and im scared.. ive got another one to take in 12 hours.. so should i be worried of getting pregnant or it will be alrite?? i really dont want to get pregnant, so my bf doesnt find out that i cheated on him (yes i do have a bf, who didnt know that i was a virgin).. should i have unprotected sex with my bf, so if i fall pregnant ill tell him its his?? i just dont wanna loose him.. he is perfect(sxc as, the best personality ever, so honest, so loyal, and treats me like a princess) but i dont kno wat got over me, and made me cheat on him
I took the MAP about a week ago after having unprotected sex 20 hrs prior. My symptoms were some of the common ones listed on the label…back aches, strange spotting, headache, cramping….all of these side affects I pretty much anticipated, but what really has frightened me is how it impacted my moods and my over all feeling of self worth. I have experienced depression before at some moderate levels, but this was an extreme low for the last week…it is beginning to fade, but also made me feel afraid, angry, lost…some pretty extreme feelings that I had never experienced. My suggestion would be to NOT take it!!!! there is obviously some chemical reaction with the strong hormonal dose in the pills and the natural hormones in your body…..
I took plan B and now im dead.
I have taken plan B about six times probably. I always felt sick when I took it and sometimes had to go to the bathroom more than usual w/ loose bowel movements. Most of the time my period came within a week after taking the pills irregardless of when my last cycle was. It also was usually darker brownish or black. I took one back in December , I was a few days late but not prego. I took one last week and started bleeding today and it is black. I have abdominal cramping and pain in my legs. For everyone who has or is having these symptoms I highly doubt it is a miscarriage, I have had one before and the pain is different. But if you have been bleeding for longer than your normal period or are having very severe symptoms just go see a doctor and if you don’t have insurance they have to take you in the emergency room. Personally I think these pills are bad stuff. Hopefully in the future we will all be smart and safe enough to no have to use them again but like most of you I would rather have a little pain than become prego for whatever reason each of us has. Hope this helped you guys a little bit.
i had the morning after pill nearly 2 weeks ago after the day before i had unprotected sex. I keep gettin backpains.. and belly pains occasionally. think there just side effects.
took map pill three fridays ago couple of days after last period (thought cindom had split night before)was ok until week later started bleeding thought period had come early still bleeding 13 days later and as heavy as first day very red and runny. went to gp today said its quite common.game me some tranexamic acid tablets to stop the bleeding. fingers crossed.also have back pain no energy and fatigue
i was away on a trip and forgot to take my birthcontrol pill on friday… it completely slipped my mind. i took it at my normal time saturday and still didnt realize that i was a day behind on my pills. had unprotected sex that night ( saturday). today when i went to take my birth control i realized that i was a day behind. tomorrow i am going to get plan b at my local pharmacy and crossing my fingers that it works!!! also, that my symptoms will be mild because these all sound so painful
Yeah, me too after taking postinor2 i feel like going toilet all the time. and a little giddyness.
im scare to get pregnant, and is it if the menses come i’ll be safe(im not pregnant)?
i took the morning after pill 2 days ago. im not having any pain, but i feel really moody. i usually get sensitive befor my period starts, but this is weird, i feel so disconected and kinda out of it. im real happy, then to tears over nothing, its odd. i wonder if ita from all the hormones let into my body at once… eww
I took levonelle one step. I morning sickness the next day, had breast tenderness for weeks, bled for about two weeks, and for the next 4 cycles had breakthrough bleeding and very strange periods-wierd clotting, sort of dry brown blood for the first few days of the period and then it would come in properly-but painfully and heavily. For the last 4 months I’ve had longer periods than normal. But the good news is, the pill worked, and I am finally back to normal. I think the scariest part of taking this pill is that you don’t have many people to talk to about it, and you don’t know if the changes are normal. The drug company makes it sound like taking this pill is no big deal and that dramatic side effects are unlikely to happen. Well, they ARE likely to happen, but they won’t kill you, they will just be annoying, and rest assured that your body WILL return to normal again.
I took the morning after pill a few days ago.
I started bleeding yesterday. It’s really heavy and fills up my pad almost instantly. I don’t know what to do. My period had just finished the day before I took the pill… I wasnt irresponsible or anything. The condom broke. I’ve just turned 18, just started at University… I’m terrified of being pregnant… But can anyone tell me how long this bleeding will last? It’s my 18th party on Saturday and I don’t think I can celebrate with all this blood!!! How long will it last?
After viewing everyones comments OMG…im terrified, as I am easily prone to pain, and don’t take it well. The hormones in the pill are ridiculously strong. Im confused whether to take it or not and its been12 hrs since.
i had sexual intercourse in setrmber with m boyfriend and i ok the morning after pill the day after i go a period a week after that and the after another month again but but i didnt et it for 5 months afte should i be worried?
i had sex march 18 and took the morning after pill march 21 am i safe? i took it 72 hours after the day i had sex..so should i be worried?
hi I’m jj iv been etopic once… an i am so damn scared now coz i think i am having the same syntoms of it… if ever i am etopic any one cud possibly help me financially? i know its weird really i am too afraid of this… i know the result if it cant be operated or taken it off to ur tube…
I took the pill in february on th 14th. The next week or so I had a period but it was onlyn two and a half days long. My periods are usually 5 to 7 days. My period this month was the same length (2 and a half days long). Can anyone tell me for certain if that is a result of the pill or am I possibly pregnant? But, then again, I have PID and recently discovered that if you have that, you’re not even supposed to take the pill. I’m confused…
after having my girlfriend take the pill and experiencing with her the stress it gives, i found these posts kind of helpfull, like other people felt the same,a nd what happened to her wasnt unusual. me and my girlfriend had unprotected sex once, i gave her the pill the day after, we had sex 2 days before her period was supposed to come. after taking the pill, she menstruated heavily for 10 days, during this time, her body temperature was also elevated and she had large mood swings. she took a preganacy test 25 days after and it came out negative. her period is about 5 days late so far.
i found this forum very usefull, so i decided to record what happened here, hopefully somebody will record all this one day and use it for research! ill keep posting, and for all of you out there, *i think im the only guy thats posted here so far?* gd luck!
took the morning after pill less than 12 hours after having unprotected sex on wed night, it’s now monday. had just started my period right before i had sex, and i cannot find any material to say if that would affect the way the pill worked? my period would have normally finished by now, but i’m not suprised it hasn’t. but its really heavy and i’m experience abdominal pain i wouldn’t normally get. getting a little worried…
I took Plan B on March 15th (day 16 of my cycle); started my period on the 20th (about 10 days early); bled for five days, was fine for three days, and then began spotting red on the 28 which lasted for three days. My breasts are increasingly tender and feel swollen. Am I still experiencing side effects from Plan B? I’ve taken it before and have been fine. Incidentally, I also got a sinus infection a few days after taking Plan B — I read somewhere that that can be a side effect, as well.
I took the pill less then a month ago and have been having lower abdominal cramps when I stand, my breast are swollen and tender, bloatness and tiredness. I took a pregnancy test and it came out positive. I took 3 more to make sure and they were all positive. Any ideas?
hey ladies,
i’ve been reading through all these posts and i realised that no one ever gets any answers on here.
well i’ll write my experience from the morning after pill..
i took the morning after pill nearly a month ago now after having unprotected sex with my boyfriend. he didn’t come and it was only for a matter of seconds but i was worried so i decided to take it, 2 days after unprotected sex. i didn’t have many symptoms in the first week except for tiredness and a really low depressing feeling. 5 days after taking the pill, i experienced a really heavy bleeding which lasted a few days. since then i developed a backache which has now gone, headache, really slight stomach cramps and vaginal discharge. it has now been a month since and i feel better. i get a headache occasionally but i think that’s due to stress over this whole thing. and as for the vaginal discharge, the pill plays around with your hormone levels so things are bound to be different for a little while. heavy bleeding a few days or a week after taking the pill is usually expected too. took 3 pregnancy tests and they’ve all been negative. all i can say is don’t worry ladies. from my experience, these things are all side effects of the pill. i know it’s hard but just wait it out.
also, i think the the ’side effects’ in the booklet are extremely misleading. they don’t mention half the symptoms that, i think, are really common from what all the women on here are saying. that’s why we all get so worried because we don’t know what’s going on. but all the smyptoms seem normal and quite common, don’t worry.
I took the morning after pill over three weeks ago which was one day after having unprotected sex. I had a period that was extremely light but have had spotting after having intercourse since. Not to mention my breasts hurted for days and frequent urge to urinate. Didn’t have any signs of depression but find that I get fatigued very easily. I have also developed a cyst on the outside of my vaginal area. I have decided that it would be best for me to go to see a doctor now that I see that one can have an eptopic pregnancy. I definately would not recommend this pill to anyone with a history of ovarian cysts.
Well i honestly have not had side effects. I have had to take it 3 seperate times, each time no problems. I DO HAVE A QUESTION though, as you know you have to take them exactly 12 hours apart. What if you took them 24 hours apart, i forgot to set my alarm to remind to take it, and i ended up taking it almost 24 hours later. Would one go and buy another packet???????
I Had sex on the 6th of march the day after my period was over, unprotected, the next day i got the pill, and i wasnt sick or anything… but now im late by like a day and im stressing too much… help!
ITS BEEN 35 DAYS SINCE MY LAST PERIOD and it’s kind of worrying now. My breasts feel tender, my stomach feelz like it’s being punched and poked at and my vagina just recently started hurting like it usually does when I’m about to have my period the only DIFFERENCE IS, THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 3 DAYS NOW.(very unusual and unfamiliar). I already took 2 preggy tests and they all came out negative….now do I have to push this monthly expected liquid out or what? cuz it’s really gettin to me now that it’s been 2 FREAKING MONTHS!
I took the 72 hour pill a few weeks ago, since then I’ve had real discomfort in my vagina, theres a lot of discharge and it sort of stings. I wasnt sure if this was because if the Levonelle One Step or because I might actally have and STI. I think its kind of obvious now though.
In most cases, with the whole period not coming for a few months, that is expected. Especially if you’ve taken pregnancy tests which have come out negative, they are 99% accurate. Don’t worry, i’ve heard about women who have not recieved their periods for 5 months after taking it! It just messes things up a little down there.
i took the morning after pill 6 days ago, i started bleeding yesterday but am not due for another 2 weeks, iv taken it 3 times in the past and have never had any side effects before, i am very worried and angry that i wasn’t told about any of these side affects and i will NEVER be taking it again!
I had unprotected sex April 2nd, and started bleeding on April 9th and it lasted for just about 2 days. And today I am having the worse stomach pains ever and my boobs hurt really bad. And does anyone know if I will get my period still at the normal time (which is around the 16th for me)? Or is it always 2-3 weeks after taking the pill? This is a scary situation..never taking it again
that’s normal to bleed around a week after unprotected sex if you’ve taken the MAP. normally it’s heavy too. i remember taking the pill, i was so worried it was awful. i’m fine now but the paranoia of pregnancy still scares me
hey guys,had sex on 5th april,3days prio to ma periods and took the PB two days latter and i have been experiencing,back pains,bloating and stomach upset since then and 4days later spotting which scares much cause i am not sure its ma normal menstration.somebody help me get this clear if am pregnat or not,plssssssss guys,.
I thought about taking this but now im afraid because all of the comments say the same thing.. pain and bleeding..
So after reading all the complaints about this PB pill, I feel more assured that I am not pregnant. I took it on the 6th of April and started getting side effects of pregnancy that Thursday. So today I was totally worried about being pregnant. After reading through all the blogs and comparing your symptoms with mine, I feel much more at ease. thanks for all posting your issues and concern…you have totally put my mind at ease! GOOD LUCK TO ALL of YOU!
i took the morning after pill about just over a month ago now. i bled quite heavily around 5 days after taking it and have been paranoid about pregnancy ever since! until yesterday, i got my period a month and a few days after taking the pill. please don’t worry ladies, aslong as you’ve taken it within 72 hours i’m pretty sure you’ll all be fine. the pill can make you feel pregnant when you’re not, i know how you all feel. best of luck to you all!
OK, I FINALLY GOT MY PERIOD AND IM NOW SURE IMNOT PREGNANT AND IM VERY HAPPY I’M NOT TOO…ESPECIALLY AFTER ALL THAT WORRYING AND ALL THE SYMPTOMS…ANYWAY GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL. STOP HUMPING OK?
i took planb like two months ago and i still havent had my period and havent felt right ever since.. it really sucks.
MiCaela-
I took the pill on the 27th, spotted a couple of days later. To date, no period….have taken three pregnancy tests because I am freaking out…all came back negative. I hope my body goes back to norman soon…I am never taking these pills again. Two weeks ago I had to go to the emergency room because out of nowhere I developed a Bartholyn’s cyst on the side of my vagina. Couldn’t sit or walk for two days….they cut it open and drained it in the emergency room. Why don’t men have to worry about this crap??!!!!
Thank you to all the bloggers because this site really helps me
.
For all of my sisters out there who have taken this pill or are thinking about taking it, my suggestion is as follows; if you have a Planned Parenthood Clinic where you live, go there, ask about their morning after pill. I remember taking it two years ago and not having any of the problems I or any of you have experienced.
My concern is a follows the brochure that comes with Plan B pills is not very helpful or informative to the questions we all have. IF you are all these blogs, it seems like most of us have had the same side effects, fears and irregular periods afterwards. I don’t want to be some company’s guinea pig! As I said before, I don’t know when I am going to get my period. But I saw a show where a woman who took the morning after pill was pregnant…..didn’t know until she started having contractions, even though she took two pregnancy tests which came out as negative. My next advice is as follows, for those of us who don’t get our period for more than 4 weeks…go to a clinic and take their pregnancy test….explain the situation….usually before an abortion they will do an ultrasound to see how far along you are….this will let you know that you are definately pregnant and that you need to decide whether to keep it or not.
Good luck to all my female sisters….keep blogging….we can support each other!
Previous last two blogs-
Yesterday the FDA approved giving Plan B pills to 17 year olds without a prescription. To any parents of a 17 year old or any 17 year olds planning on taking this, please do not take this pill. The side effects of this pill are horrible, read the beginning of these blogs. This pill stays in your system for a long time causing all sort of abnormal side effects not listed on the flyer. No young woman should have to go through what all of us have had to go through.
Do not take this pill! I don’t think enough research has been done on the long term effects.
If you all are so scared of becoming pregnant and this pill not working. Instead of taking the pill to prevent the fertilized egg from attaching itself…..Here’s a concept…DON’T HAVE INTERCOURSE.
I took the morning after pill a week ago and was warned I might suffer side-effects such as drowsiness and spotting. The only side-effect I had was a drowsiness which lasted 2 days and then yesterday I started having abdominal cramp and spotting. Is this normal so long after taking the morning-after pill?
ive took the pill the week before my period and started feeling all the same pains after my period went off.And usually my period is on for five days and now its been on for bout two and half weeks.My boyfriend researched it too so were pretty sure im not pregnant as well. But its slowly clearing up and my period will be back to normal and of course we decided to stop humping so much because its really scary taking this pill
Hi, i took the levonelle one step after ovulating… will it still work? someone please answer as i am going madly insane…can’t afford an abortion!!!!!
Just my 2 cents. For all those who are having issues, with the pills and what not. Why not stop having sex unless you want to to become pregnant. It is completely irresponsible what you are doing. You are destroying yourself!! I care for you all. Please make it stop.
Frankly you all should be seeking professional assistance your life (and that of a possible baby) are too precious to just look for ‘online help’….
God bless you all.
It’s an ABORTION pill! Of course you will have these symptoms; your body is going through a spontaneous abortion. You are killing a life.
If you don’t want the symptoms, don’t take it.
Better yet, don’t have sex, which is meant for procreation, until you are married.
Shalom.
It really kills me to see other people telling others what they should and should not be doing with their bodies. I think it is BEING responsible of ALL these woman to prevent a pregnancy they are not prepared for. Keep the preaching to yourself! Those times were long gone with Roe vs. Wade. These posts are here for woman who are trying to support each other and not getting into each others personal/cultural/religion beliefs!!!!
I would rather have a woman take the morning after pill than to have a baby that she is going to mistreat, possibly even kill due to not wanting it or postpartum depression. Have you ever heard of child abuse????
Having sex is NOT the problem…these women are obviously being responsible and saying “I’m not ready to have children”….that is BEING responsible!!!!
Those sisters who are thinking or have taken the morning after pill. Don’t wait to go see a doctor….get answers to your questions….and all will be okay. We will CONTINUE to support each other despite the fanatics who think they are better than everyone else!!!!!
POST 264, 268, 269
Stay out of other women’s lives! Roe vs. Wade!!!! Live your own life and stay out of everyone else’s. You are in the wrong blogging section….I am sure there are other religious blogs you could be on.
A woman has a right to her OWN body!!!!! Deal with it!!!
To Kelly, Tanya and Katie… How Dare you post your medieval, religious CRAP!!! Not having sex with my man is not even an option! It brings major happyness to my life, and the lives of most other NORMAL woman!
Secondly, Its not an Abortion pill, it’s a precaution pill, we don’t know if our egg got fertilised, we just don’t want it too!!! Were killing a couple of cells not a life you fools! Wow when you guys get your period must be like committing murder.
Save it for Church on sunday and go Judge yourself!!!
THANK YOU comment 272!!!
The morning after pill is large dose of birth control, is that considered killing as well? The woman taking these pills are taking them to avoid getting a surgical abortion or to avoid taking the abortion pill. HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!!!! If depriving yourself of sexual activity works for you great…you are on the wrong site.
Here is to having freedom over our own bodies!!!!!
it was my first time of having sex and i did bleed, and then the next day it stopped and the day after that i started getting like this orange red colour in my underwear im worried about what is it can you help?.
For Nicolle-
First question, did you guys use a condom? I hope you did. If it was your first time having intercourse it is normal to bleed a little. Keep your eye on the spotting,if it goes on for more than three days go to the doctor.
Second question, have you taken Plan B? How old are you? Hopefully your spotting will stop and you will be okay. If you are going to have intercourse…my advice to you is protect yourself by using condoms. No guy in this world is worth an STD. And no guy is going to tell you whether he has one or not….SO it is up to you to protect yourself.
If you have more questions, just blog…this site has been very helfpful to me.
yes im sorry to say this but im 17 and i had sex with my bf may 2nd. he got me morning after pills. and i took one today may 4th.and i hate to say this to but i was sucking his you kno what and i puked. i puked an hour after i took the morning after pill..and so ppl said it is okay for me to take the other one and i did

so yeah… and i cant let my mom kno… so HELP ME PLZZZ
Post 271,
Roe vs. Wade is the lie Satan wants you to believe dear friend.
There is no such thing as “having the right” to kill somebody. That idea is a figment of your own imagination as well as a sin. Are you really advocating the idea of having a society which allows for the private conviction of murder? Think about it for a minute. It so seems that those who most militantly and religiously call for the inclusion of laws that will give women the right to conduct ‘private mass-murder in her own body’ would be the first ones to denounce a society that allows people to openly and freely perpetrate crimes in the court of their mind. This worldview has serious moral, legal and philosophical problems.
To our dear blogger from Post 272,
To employ add-hominem arguments as a means to obfuscate the intent and value of someone else’s input and free-speech is needless and childish. What you address as ‘medieval and religious’ is actually moral and human judgement which is part of the fabric of every human being. Your conscience bears witness to it -we all have one. Second, you must not confuse ‘happiness’ with sexual pleasure. Thirdly, any 10 year-old with a basic understanding of biology knows that any cell is a living organism. That’s is scientifically speaking, not religiously. If it weren’t already a human being with completely different DNA structure and human genetics, women wouldn’t feel persuaded to take a pill. Leave it alone and it will become beautiful creature according to God’s image just like youself. You know, that’s why we love this county and its laws because we treat with another with respect and love. Thus, when someone says ‘A women has the right to her own body’ we must immediately ask the following question: Is the woman’s body the only body under consideration?’. It’s really basic, whose rights are more important, your right to have the baby or the baby’s right to live? Both of them are equally important.
I am only speaking in defense of those infants at this present moment don’t have an advocate to represent them. That little one that we want to simply identify and dismiss as a ‘couple of cells’ could be the next president of the United States of America!. That baby once he grows up could someday save your own life!!
Proverbs 31:8-9
“Open your mouth for the mute,
For the rights of all the unfortunate.
Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And defend the rights of the afflicted and needy.”
The wonderful news is that God can forgive of all our sins. Even sins of this kind. Jesus’ death on the cross as well as a contrite and repentant heart can reunite any women in this forum who have committed the sin of abortion with their babies in heaven. It’s a promise that God TODAY WILL make to you and most importantly fulfill! They are safe in the arms of God but He will by no means ignore and let sin unpunished. That’s why He have up His own to atone for our sins. Please read the Bible and repent from your sins. God has forgiven terrible sins in my life and I am sure he will do the same for you. Love and I hope you girls get better in this difficult situation.

Hmmmm there seems to be some confusion here over what the morning after pill actually does. The reason women bleed after taking it is nothing to do with abortion or killing anything, its simply because they’ve taken a large dose of hormone. It basically urges the body to shed the lining of the womb (the same as a period), while also preventing the release of an egg (same as the contraceptive pill). If a woman was already pregnant and took the morning after pill, it would have no effect on the life created – this is why there is a totally different ABORTION pill for this situation. If you’re going to judge on the grounds of religion then at least learn the truth of what it does before inflicting your ill-advised beliefs on people who did not ask for your opinion.
Back to the purpose of this blog…..
The morning after pill. This pill is used to prevent the possibility of an unplanned pregnancy. It prevents fertilization…despite of the stupidity from some bloggers….it does not kill a baby. It is a large dose of oral contraceptives. The side effects vary from woman to woman. But if you follow the instructions and monitor yourself afterwards..you will be okay.
I guess this country which grants us freedom must be condemmed to hell for allowing the marketing of the morning after pill.

Next time a parent caught in the middle of a custody battle kills their children…I will keep your beliefs in mind.
Next time a child is physically or sexually abused….I will keep your advice in mind.
Next time I have to provide for the 4 or 5 children some welfare mother forces me to provide for….I will remember your advice.
Next time I see a news segment about how children are sold into sexual slavery….I will keep your advice in mind.
So from those of us who are being responsible….MIND YOUR OWN F—ING BUSINESS.
LETS NOT FORGET ALL THOSE INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN SLAUGHTERED IN THE NAME OF RELIGION!!!! HYPOCRITES!!!!
I love my partner and I enjoy having sex with him. After all, I am a human with feelings and emotions. I consider myself responsible for my life and actions. Do not want or need advice from the people whose beliefs at some point or another have slaughtered other innocent people for their beliefs.
I have taken the morning after pill twice and the abortion pill twice. Why? Because only I know whether I want to have children or not. I am glad these options are available to women.
I was just thinking about taking the morning after pill, but after reading this post, i really don’t want to take it now.
i took the morning after pill. my period came 3 days early… it was just like a normal period and went … now im not ovulating in this next cycle.. is this normal?
Did you know there are only 12-24 hours a month you can get pregnant? Learn you body! Also if a man will risk getting you pregnant out of wedlock, maybe even a sexually transmitted disease, he doesn’t love you. He wantss to use your body for his own selfish pleasure. Women deserve better than that!!!!!
After i took the morn after pill i got really dry for ahile is that normal?
I have taken Plan B before and have only experienced minor side effects such as fatigue. I recently took the pill again and am now having more severe symptoms such as nausea, cramping, bloating and fatigue. These symptoms have lasted for about a week and a half. I know i’m not pregnant but these are the worst side effects pertaining to this pill that I have had.
I took the Plan B pills for the first time, I experience severe bloating, nausea, cramping like my stomach was just turning… Finally exactly 1 week later I guess I started my period, was just brown with pieces of like tissue lasted only few hours and that was it…wondering if everything is OK!!!??
PLEASE HELP ME GUYS, I CAN’T FIND AN ANSWER ANYWHERE!! . . . . I took levonelle one step in the middle of march a week after my period. . My period came a week later (2 weeks early) and only lasted 3 days. . 4 weeks after that period i came on normally again i was only on for 3 days though. Now i’m waiting for my 2nd proper period an am 5 days late. Its now the middle of may could i be pregnant as i have no symptoms of period or pregnancy apart from slight tender breasts but no changes in nipples? PLZ HELP
Hiya! i suffered with pains for about 3 months afterwards, and period pains have been alot worse since then and its now a year since i took it
Just so you all know, the Plan B pill is the abortion pill, just in a nice handy package. Any doctor will tell you this.
It will make you feel terrible no matter what. It is to ensure you did not get pregnant; even though I have heard of some women ending up pregnant anyway.
You will bleed and have discomfort for awhile and if you did actually conceive, it will be worse. If you’re bleeding with as much pain as stated here, I suggest you go to your OB/GYN to be checked to make sure it is not worse than you think.
I did not and nor will I, use that pill. It’s too harmful. Good luck to all of you that did.
i had unprotected sex on the 16,17 and 18 of april.. i took the morning after pill on the 20th..but i put it under my tongue and drank some water, then the tablet started to dissolve and a little went down my throat and the remainders i spat it out, then 5days later i startd to spot, then the secon day i bled and the next but it wasn’t alot and my period wasn’t due till the 3rd of may which has not come yet and lately iv been having serious belly cramps, headaches, feeling nausea, and nipple feeling sore
Okay girls. When take this pill follow the instructions as they are in the package. Do not go out and have unprotected sex again. This only adds to the confusion.
I took the pill on Feb. 27….bled 4 days later….light brown and only for two days. I felt crappy physically….sore breasts, cramps, backache, fatigue. I did not have a period for two and a half months. I took 4 pregnancy tests to make certain that I wasn’t pregnant. Was careful to use protection if I had intercourse.
Now, we are all going to experience different symptoms….some which the manufaturer won’t list. But if you follow the instructions the way they are written…all this other crap will pass. You can always turn to this blog for support. But this pill will create weird changes in your body for a while.
I had taken the morning after pill about a week ago and i started feeling some abdominal pain 4 days after but then after a week i started bleeding and havnt stopped since. Sometimes it goes for a straight couple of days and other times it is off an on.
so i took the morning after pill about 2 weeks ago and when i first took it about 4 days after i started having abdominal pain. Then about a week after i started bleeding. Sometimes it is straight for a couple of days and other times it is off an on. I have also been experencing lower back pain. Should i be going to see my doctor about this or is it just like symptoms that will eventually go away? Please help i am starting to get worried.
I am REALLY SCARED,I have taken the morning after pill WAY too many times…No one ever told me about side effects,i was popping them like smarties because my husband refused to use protection.I have probably taken more than 20….my periods are irregular ALL the time,I get hot flushes constantly and nausea…and now my husband and i are wanting to have a baby but i fear that i cant!The last time i went to the chemist they told me that if u take it too often u might not be able to have kids.I AM DEVISTATED…I dont know if i can have children now!Im too scared to go to the docter to find out just incase its bad news…..what shud i do??can anyone help….does it make u sterile?
Hi Col, I am having the same problem as you. My husband and I use condoms because we have three kids and don’t want another(atleast not right now). The condom came off inside of me so we were worried enough that he got me Plan B. I took it about a week after my menstral only about 8 hours after the incident. I started my menstral again within 1 week which would have been 2 weeks early for my April period. Then in April I started again around the 15th but, keep in mind I haven’t had a really normal cycle in 2 years (since I have been off the ortho-tri-cycling pill) But, it is now May 21 st still no period in site. I always experience breast tenderness and severe bloating and mood changes with my period so I don’t know if I am pregnant unless I miss my period for a really long period of time or I start to become extremely nauseas. The morning after pill didn’t really give me any side effects besides the weird bleeding but, I am still concerned because I haven’t had my period for May yet. Just a little note to Alexandra the abortion pill and plan B are way different. Let me just say that Plan B is not an abortion pill which is why you can’t take it later that 36 hours after unprotected sex. All it does is prevent a fertlized egg from attaching to the uterus by making your uterus seem to alreading have an implanted egg in it hence the breast tenderness and nausea and bloating it makes your body think it is already pregnant so another egg can’t implant. The abortion pill actually makes you abort a fetus that is in the uterus hence the abortion part. An egg that is not implanted is NOT a fetus. So you might want to find another doctor if your doctor tells you any differenly. Hi to TJ as well I wanted to say to you that you need to wait atleast a year to become pregnant after taking any form of chemical birth control. (This is what the docors told me). I got off the DEPO SHOT when I was trying for my Third child with my husband. I was on DEPO for 3 years. We tried for well over a year before we finally gave up trying and I got pregnant. I don’t believe that you can’t have a child just give your body the chance to become “normal” without extra chemicals in it. Also, start taking a multi- vitamin (Prenatal Vitamin) and eat and drink really healthy foods. Cut out as much fat as possible and if you don’t already work out do start. Make your body as healthy as you can and I am sure you’ll get pregnant. Also, folic acid aids in making your uterus a really friendly place to be.
OK, so it’s apparent now that some people from the abortion/pharmaceutical industry have arrived here as a result of all the horror stories mentioned above to do some damage control and tell women more lies that got them into this mess to begin with. Remember, ladies, they are the ones pocketing the cash in exchange for your misery. Now they are here to tell you more lies about the first few weeks of human development and how your suffering should be kept quiet.
Google “progestin birth defects” and see for yourself the medical journal results that they are trying to hide. Notice too that they make no mention that these very powerful steroids cause breast cancer, cervical cancer, liver cancer, and heart disease.
I’m sorry for all the pain and suffering and not knowing what happened for all of you. That’s part of their marketing scheme – to play with language and pretend that life doesn’t begin at conception. These are the same people who will tell you later that you should have a surgical abortion if the chemical one fails. They don’t care about you or your child. that’s why they will do untold harm to both of you and lie about it.
Anyone in here thinking of taking it, I hope I warned you what those profiting from this crap will not. Read what happened to others and be forewarned. If you’ve already taken them, please see a doctor ASAP and don’t beat yourself up too bad over being lied to.
I want to say something to all you religious folk on here. First, I am not from a pharmaseutical (can’t even spell it right) company and I am glad my posting pissed you off because we do deserve the truth. Next, I believe in GOD I pray and I was baptised. I do not go to church nor do I believe in the STORIES in the bible. Let me make my point clear to all of you who say go to this website go here look at this. When a woman takes the Plan B there is no gurantee that it will work PERIOD. Those women whose infants had those birth defects are women who took that pill and it DID NOT stop the egg from implanting. It is Rare but, we are told of these facts and are also told that if PLAN B doesn’t work there is a chance that a pregnancy could result and that the baby could have birth defects! THEY TELL US! NO SECRET! That is how I have so much information about it because I did my homework on it before I felt it was right for me. Also, back to the religous part of this you say that you are belevers in GOD and yet you judge us! Isn’t that a sin! Or how about Capital punishment (EYE FOR AN EYE) so it’s okay to kill an adult? I thought murder was against religon. How about it if you tell all those children whom lost their mommy’s, Daddy’s, grandma’s etc.. in the 9/11 attacks that those people believed so strongly in their religion that it was ok that they murdered their family members. Oh and can you please explain to me how if GOD created ADAM & EVE and they had two sons Their one son goes away and comes back with a wife. Where the hell did she come from?! Seriously actually read the stories in the bible and see how many of them actually make sense. While your at it please explain to me why my Christian grandmother allowed my uncle her son to molest me repeatedly in her home and even walked in on it happeneing and then called me a lier I was 9-years-old how can a Christian do that huh! Explain to me why so many people all of a sudden find GOD after a tragedy not before! Explain to me how the KKK (Klu Klux Klan) can justify their racism by saying that the bible says that you can’t trust the yellow skin and that blacks aren’t like the rest! Please tell me how a man can get away with stabbing his 1-month old infant to death because he said GOD told him too and he had a long history of family involvement in church and he himself is a preecher! Also please explain to me how a beloved preecher can preech hate and intolerance (GAY, Abortion Etc..) then turn around and have sex with a man. Explain to me how so many priest are going to jail for molesting little boys. I don’t know who the hell you think you are but don’t come bible thumping in a place your not wanted. This is about women who are seeking out others in their situation for help not for holy rollers who think only their opinions count and the way they think is LAW.
Hi, Checked through the ALL the blogs for a simmilar information..so here we go..
I have a 14 mth little girl and me and her daddy are very happy, want loads of babies in the futre but had a little accident and the condom broke, i never went back on my pill after my daughter so comdoms are our only proctection. Had a little painc and was talking to my friend the next day and she said dnt get the mornign after pill just take 6 of your normal pills as apartently it works the same?? so being stupid and knowing how fertile i am i went home and took 5(felt really sick couldnt take the 6th one),
Day later felt really really sick then nothing was due my period 6 days after i had the accident so wait and it came 2 days early, started normal but i am now beeding litle you wouldnt belive and there are small stringy black clots on my tampax.
Just want to know the effects of what i have done and could i still be preganant if i did catch?x
Hi Becki,
It is the first I have ever heard that you can take that many birth control pills and get the same effect as Plan B. I do know that plan B is the same thing as regular birth control only in a much more potent form. Just for refrence you could still be pregnant even if you bleed. I know for a fact it has happened to me before even after taking my pill. I didn’t know I had missed my pill and the next morning when I went to take the one for that morning I realized I had forgotten the day before so I took both just like you are instructed to do by your doctor. I ended up not haveing my period and went to doc found out was pregnant. I ended up losing the baby maybe because of the birth control who knows. So yes you can still be pregnant go get a at home test! Right away because you could end up having really bad complications brcause of all the pills you took. I wish you well and have a great day.
Anna, I’m sorry you had a bad experience as a child, but I don’t think that gives you the right to be so bigoted and hateful of other people’s religions.
I never mentioned one word about religion in my post. I was talking only of the very real medical science that is that these pills are poison and do great harm to mother and child alike.
You lost your baby, but you’re still coming online to defend these kill pills?!? wow..
Who in heaven or on earth ever gave you or anyone the right to give an innocent child a lifetime of birth defects !!?
Ok first of you idiot (Bhutto)I do not have a biggoted point of view on religion it is simply my point of view secondly the pills didn’t kill the baby I was already taking birth control and there is no way for me to ever know what happened and don’t tell me your sorry for something you can’t understand ok. I’m not sorry! And I will continue to defend a womans right to choice. I don’t care what you or any other religous freak thinks about that ok! You are the Biggot with your extreme beliefs that women should honor their husbands and that women shouldn’t have the right to choose what happens with their own bodies how can you defend that!? Not to mention that it is ungodly to be gay in you world. Your just pissed because the points I brought up were true and how do you defend such extreme views. I am very open to different opions and I think it’s great that in the U.S. we have the freedom to be religous or not but, simply put you and all these other religous people are posting on a blog which is meant for women whom have taken these pills and are scared and need feed back from other women not for you to tell us our way is wrong. Screw you and your one sided closed minded bull crap ok! Thats what I am saying. I am actually on here to help other women and to get help from them because we know what we are each dealing with and it gives us comfort to know there are others out there.
Hi Ladies, I wish to say that I felt and cried for all who had experienced such horrible times after taking Plan B, I read these comments only a day after I took both pills and have been scarred ever since, and still am a bit. But, I must say that I did take the pills only 3 hrs. after unexpected sex when a condom did break. I can not carry since my hemmorage 20 years ago, I have a beautiful 20 year young daughter but almost didnt make it, and I did have a miscarriage 5 years ago so I had to do the resonsible thing and buy Plan B. I had stomacheand side pains the first few days after taking it and yes was extra tired, but my period did come on 3 days early which is common for me. Today is my first day and so far so good. I have a very sensitive system and was terrified. I do not know if this is a normal period yet, I am usually very heavy for 5 days or so. I will post back if all stays well. I was never on birth control and just turned 40 years of age. All I ask is that you all be careful, I do not have a sex life to speak of becasue I am so scarred of getting pregnant and I do know it is taking away a normal part of life, but even with inserts and a condom I worry so much until I get my period that I do not have sex at all. Maybe I will find a man that will love me wihtout penetration as I am a very affectionate person but cant afford this kinf of fear. My thoughts are with all of you. I will post again.
Anna, you clearly cannot respond to anything I said with anything other than more angry insults and lies – so for the sake of everyone else .. NONE of my posts mentions one word about religion – just the scientific, medical facts! Anna’s cruel version of partisan politics cannot make the first few weeks of human development magically vanish any more than all the pain and suffering written about here to women who have taken these very dangerous breast cancer and birth defects causing STEROIDS.
I DO have an unfortunate history with these as I was lied to also. Anna, I think it’s disgusting that even after you miscarried, and with all the suffering seen here – you still come on a forum like this to actually defend this crap.
Google “progestin birth defects” and see the scientific FACTS for yourself. I’ll ask again just in case you really care.. Who gave you or anyone the right to give an innocent child a lifetime of birth defects !!?
Please explain to all of us how women’s health is helped by breast cancer, heart disease, cervical cancer, premature births, liver cancer, miscarriage, or blood clots.
Bhutto, you clearly try to seem like you really know what your talking about but you don’t. These drugs don’t cause a woman to lose a fetus you really need to look beond your pretend world. Look at the real facts you can google that progestian birth defects and you are going to find many of those wbsites are set up by people who don’t believe that woman should use those methods to even become pregnant which brings you back to religion and that if you can’t get pregnant on your own then you shouldn’t take medications to help you. It is the same thing over and over again and I am sure if you look it up you’ll find some religous orginaization is behind it. Please stop telling women what to do with their bodies! I didn’t suffer when I had a miscarriage I didn’t want a baby so I was actually kinda relieved why do you assume I suffered? The baby wasn’t even big enough for me to have know it was there! Once again you make a judgment of someone elses emothional state based on how you feel you have no right to do that. This is what you needed to figure out you are a fake and your ideolgy is that of a religous person whether you admit it or not. Go away and quit lieing to these women whom are seeking out real help!
last week i was on my period then i fininshed on the thursday took the morning after pill the friday and sat afternoon i started to bleed ive neaver had this before it aws a little bit at first now its got more worse but i feel fine apart from that
It has been almost 3 weeks since I have taken the “Plan B” Pill. Two days after taking this so called emergency Contraceptive, I started to spot, and then the next day I began to bleed heavily. I have read the symptoms on the websites, so I figured that this was one of them. However, I am still bleeding!! It is now almost 3 weeks after taking the pill and I am still bleeding as if I am reliving my menstrual cycles days over and over back to back. Anyone have a clue?
Ok, So…it looks like this pill causes a CRAP load of bleeding. You may possibly bleed for MONTHS! Almost to a point to where you have lost so MUCH BLOOD that you might as well check in to the nearest hospital! I mean come on! I have been bleeding for over 3 weeks STRAIGHT! I feel so weak from loosing all this blood that I seriously think that I need to make a trip to the nearest GNC and pick up some freaking IRON PILLS! This pill is obviously not very healthy to take. The side effects after taking this pill seem to be more of a concern than the actual affect that it was meant to prevent. This just goes to show that things like this are not NORMAL, I would rather have a child and live with him/her for the rest of my life than BLEED consecutively for MONTHS STRAIGHT! PLAN B is no longer a PLAN for me. I need to go back to PLAN A!!!
this is my first and last time taking this pill. i’m having really bad abdominal pain. its so bad that i cant even sleep at night and extra strength tylenol doesnt work. id rather just go with plan c and just have the baby.
(Hi Col), I have posted here before I would really like to know if your period has started yet? If not and you need to talk or anything please come back onto this forum and give me your e-mail and we can chat privatly.
For everyone else on this forum can I say to you I believe in a womans right to choice 100% no question I don’t care who asks me we have the right to our bodies. I personally would not have a abortion unless I was in a situation where we were putting our other children in jeopardy! This was what my sitution was I thought we have three kids Oldest 14 years middle is 9 years and youngest is going to be 4 years in 6 days. My husband and I both work over full time (I have a home buisness) we were doing really good until our economy took a crapper! Now we are struggling to buy food each week. So when we had an accident when the condom slipped off I made the choice to get plen B. I had just ended my period the night it happened and within a few days I bled again (from the pills) it was just like a normal period. It ended around the 29th 30th of March. Then in April I had another period started on 16th lasted 5 days so ended 20th of April. (These are approx. dates because me period is never normal) So I came to this forum because I needed some support I was scared to death about missing. So I took prego. test negative results. So I looked up on internet about inducing periods I assumed that the pills made me miss. So I found a website called angry for a reason about induced periods or for women whom think they are in very early stages of unwanted pregnancy induced miscarriage. Anyway I knew I wasn’t prego from the test so I decided to give the herbal remedy a try and guess what today is the 30th of May and I have begun to spot. The remedy is only to be done for 3 days and today is the day I woke up and I had to end so day 4 and I have begun to bleed. So anyway I don’t recommend doing a home or herbal miscarriage but if you know you aren’t pregnant give that website a look over and maybe it’ll be right for you. The way I figure is it has to be better for you than all those pills those pharmaseutical companies are shoving down your throat Right!
I took the morning after pill 6 days ago. I am married and I already have 2 children but we are having problems so I thought I’d better not take any chances. Being a single mom of 2 kids would be hard enough. Anyway, I have had serious fatigue,DEPRESSION, and serious anger since I took it. I mean I’m in a rage at everyone and I’m not usually like that. I’m positive the fatigue, depression, and anger are side effects I’m just ready for them to go away. I didn’t even want to get out of bed yesterday
. But come on ladies -two weeks of moodiness or depression or discomfort is easier then 9 months – and then 18 years of a little one.
I just had sex with my girl and the condom riped and I was thinking about getting her the pills, but after reading this comments an scared that something could happen to her!!
Hi Its April again, well I had what hope was a normal period, I so paranoid I just want to get my next period to be sure. I do however have back pain that seems to be getting worse,and left side pain. I will never take Plan B again I am disapointed in myself that I had to, but again if it did prevent a pregnancy that I could not nor want to see through anyway with my history, then I am going to hope for the best and wait out these side effects. ladies again please be so careful, we only get one body and trust me its up to us to take care of it, no one else cares.
(BF) it is great you are worried about your girl. Tell her to take vitamin C. Tell her to take the 100% vitamin C not the stuff with ricoflavinoids in it. Viamin C can cause an egg not to implant as long as it is caught right away. She should take 500 mg tablets ever hour no more than 6000mg in a day (it is water solubale so you can’t take too much you pee it out. I have done this and either I never got pregnant to begin with or it prevented it. She needs to drinks tons of water I mean so many and if she has kidney problems then don’t because this could cause kidney stones (very rare)! She can look it up on the internet there are many great sites about it. All I know is i’ll never take Plan B again! I also pray I never have to be in the situation ever again!
Anna, you are a horrible excuse for a human being. Even with all that has happened to all these women – and all the suffering they can only admit annonymously – you STILL come on here and spread your lies to promote breast cancer, cervical cancer, birth defects, liver cancer, heart disease, stroke, depression, and any number of other adverse health effects of this poison. And, yes, it is a medical fact that life begins at conception. But you don’t care about women’s health, so why on earth would you care about children’s health? You will never make the scientific facts, or human rights, vanish.
You and your nazi medicine are just causing untold further misery for women and their children alike. What a ghoulish monster..

ladies i don’t think i’ll use the morning after pill again in my life. the side effects are horrible, too much pain, stress en depression. i rather stick to plan a condom or plan c having a gift (a baby)
they people who make these pills are liars, they don’t state that the side effect are the same as the pregnacy symptoms that why we tend to stress alot. it was my first en last time using these pills.
they say the effects last for about 2 to 3 days but they can last for about 2 to 3 weeks, why is that? let just stick to CONDOMS THAN TO DESTROY OUR LOVELY BODIES.
(bhutto) I am so tired of your personal attacks. Compairing me to a Nazi you don’t know me if you did you would know that my family fled Germany and Poland during Hitlars reign of terror they ven changed their last names to appear more “American”. Please ladies do look up progestin birth defects I did. First website that came up go see for yourself what it is about. What I seen was about women using this drug to get pregnant but, maybe I read the info wrong go see for yourself. Next one that came up was This too was about using these drugs to become pregnant. Next one This too was about using the drugs to become pregnant. Bhutto I think you are on the wrong blog all of these women are trying to prevent being pregnant. !DUH! Also, you seem angry at me for nothing my last post was telling someone to look up Viamin C to help his girlfriend from becoming pregnant instead of using Plan B. I think I was also clear that I will never use that crap again. What pisses you off is I can not want to use it again and tell people other alternatives instead of Plan B but still stand behind the fact that these women have the right to choose what to do with their bodies. You are incapable of doing this because your way of thinking is the only way and if you disagree with it then all of you are Nazi’s, do you need to take your meds! Or are you in denial of having a mental illness. Just wondering! Can’t really figure out why you would tell women to look at these websites that are about fertility problems when clearly they don’t have that issue. I agree that us women need to ban together and force these companies to tell us the whole truth but, I also still believe that these women still have the right to do what they want with their bodies and if you don’t like that then thats too damn bad you will never change it. Get over and quit personally attacking people you don’t know because when you assume things your only making an ass of u and me.
I have taken the morning after pill. No side effects immediately after; got my period as usual, but then one week later I got them again and it has now been 12 days of steady heavy flow. I hope it ends soon or I’ll need a transfusion
oh God…now I’m scared.I took this plan b pill 5 days ago.And now I started bleeding and it only has been 1 week after my last period ended.I don’t feel any kind of depression though, and I didn’t have any major pains anywhere.I’m 18 and started my “adult” life 2 month ago.But I’m really scared that I will continue bleeding for 3-4 weeks as other girls did…I feel like wanna go to a doctor to prevent any further horror.Anyone knows where can I have a free or really cheap appointment?I’m a student,and don’t have a job.I really REALLY don’t wanna involve anyone(like my mom,cause she’s not quite emotionally stable)…And did anyone bleed less that 3 weeks and than had normal periods?
It’s me again.I got a question.Does anyone know,can it change woman’s hormones forever? Can she become frigid?Or feel different forever?Or will it change so her partner will notice it(like have no pleasure with this woman)? I know that’s a weird question…but I’m concerned.I was really “unusual” in that sense…I don’t wanna change after taking this pill from hell(((
I took the pill 33 hours after I had unsafe sex.
4 hours later I was in the worst pain of my life. Come to find out. my dick shrank.
ladies i was also scared that I was maybe pregnant or there is something wrong with my body but it was just the side effect. The pain lasted for like 2 weeks (abdominal pain, chest pain, abdominal side pain, lower back pain, period pain, breast pain, running stomach) trust me the side effect are the same as the pregnancy symptoms.
MY ADVISE TO ALL OF YOU IS TOO STICK TO THE CONDOM COZ THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT IF YOU USE THE MORNING AFTER PILL TOO OFTEN, YOU MAY END UP HAVING A ECTOPIC PREGNANCY OR MAY NOT HAVE CHILDREN AT ALL. you’ll never know what the pill may do to you body, we all have different bodies. PLZ STICK TO THE CONDOM.
i love you all
Hi.I’m not scared that I’m pregnant or there is something wrong with me…I read all those stories and I know these are the side effects of the pill…I’m just scared that I’m gonna die…Can’t imagine how other ladies suffered 2-3 weeks of bleeding.I’m dying after 2 days.My nails turned purple-blue…I’m actually a little underweight.Life is leaving my body,that’s what I feel.I’m afraid that I will close my eyes to sleep or blink and won’t be able to open them again.I cought cold too,but it’s almost over.But I have a horrible cough and suffocating every 30 minutes.Now I rely on God,cause I failed myself at the time…If I won’t die I will never take this pill again.I don’t know if I have to go to a doctor.But without money and insurance it seems impossible anyway.I hope to be able to write here again tomorrow))
I never had any pain anywhere,which is weird.And now I don’t.It’s just a weakness that seems to grow…I wish I read those stories before I took the pill…
I usually take the levonelle morning after pill and I make sure I read the whole booklet that comes with the medication and the symptoms seem copeable but sometimes it is worse than they say.
The first two times I have taken levonelle i got two periods on the same month and spotting and the rest, but now when I take it I don’t get any side effects and it feels weird. I would also like to know how many emergency pills should be taken withen a year before any long term damages are done to the menstral cycle and fertility.
it up to you, if you want to continue using the pill. like i said before our bodies are not the same, maybe i’m weak but the only thing i know is that i will never use those pills again. in the booklet they say the side effect last for like 2 to 3 days, that not true, it 2 to 3 weeks.
i can’t seem to stop thinking about what the doctor told me, ectopic pregnancy en not having children in future. HELL NO i can’t that risk.
boyfriend and i had sex in mid april (around 4/20ish), condom came off, but he realized it before he ejaculate so no sperm was inside me. anyway, i took the plan b within 2-3 hours afterwards, followed the instruction with the 12 hours apart basis. got my period on may 2nd (which was time expected) but it was somewhat a little lighter than usual but no big differences. it ended within a week (which is also normal) but now its already the 9th of june and still no period!
im so stressed out that its slowly driving me insane!!!! 
i have taken 4 pregnancy tests (including one at the clinic) and they were all negative, staff at the clinic told me it can be the plan b that messed up my cycle since its quite common but still, im so stressed out, then she said stress is another issue which can delay a girl’s period, but god.. i cannot help it, anyone else out there feeling me?!!?! :’( i am getting sore breasts and headaches (which i normally get before period) but im still so freaked out kuz my cycles are normally on-time and regular. im assuming it is the plan b since ive read all those posts and noticed im not the only one whos going through this, it made me felt better but im still scared ****less. :’(
best luck to all of u girls who are going through the same issue, and i will never take the plan b again
its just nerve wrecking when u get irregular periods and bleeding.
i need some advice now, i dont know what wrong wit my body, hope to find some help please.. i have unprotective sex then took emergency pills after it, after 3-4 days i had some bleeding, and eversince have no period. it has been 6 weeks now. i tried one pregnancy test it shown negative.. im losing my patience here. wat should i do next?
Hello.I heard of a place Planned Parenthood?I was told that they can help for free or really cheap.Has anyone ever heard of it?Or went there?
Please answer if you know anything.
Hello Ace,
yes ive heard of PlanParenthood and ive been seeing them for years now, they do offer little to no charge birth control options, as well as abortions, plan b, etc. they are professional staffs and will be there every step of the way when it comes to birth controls. visit their website for more informations and locate a office nearest u.
hi 123, god i am experiencing the same situation, read my previous comment plz. omg, idk what to do next, i have taken 5 pregnancy tests now (took one this morning when i woke up kuz i read some facts about the morning urine contains the most hormone) it was negative but im still so stressed out about it since my period has always been normal from month to month, i am now exactly one week late.
(got my last period on may 2nd) someone plz give us some advices!! as for now, all i can think of is… we just gotta wait it out. 
it sucks kuz thats all i think about all day, im so bummed out.
hey 123, let me know if u wanna chat in private about our issue. =/
Hey Jenn
dont worry too much, i was first like you, stress out soo much but its true, stress will delay your period. Start to relax and think positively. try to think that your cycle has paused and now u start to ovulate again, meaning period will come. Lately, i have symptoms of getting period again. i hope i get my period soon, and you too.. RELAX ok?
Has anyone ever taken the MAP after a missed period instead of at least 72 hours after intercourse?
hi 123,
thank u so much for ur support and comfort, i greatly appreciated it! i am just in so much stress right now, i can barely eat anything kuz my mind is constantly wondering and being pranoid just sucks so bad.
again.. i went to a different clinic just now and took another pregnancy test and nope, negative once again, the nurse was so comforting, she kept reassuring me that i am not pregnant and stating facts about the tests should of picked up if i am pregnant because it has been around 6 weeks ever since the condom failed. omfg! i am going insane but imma try to calm down, u too okay? i know it will come and i know ur period will come too! im so glad im not the only one thats going through this. it has to be the plan b and i will not take it again. =/
I took the day after pill and I am now 2 months late for my period and really scared..i took about 10 pregnant tests and some of them where different tests but they all said I’m NOT PREGNANT. i don’t know y my period isn’t coming then. I thought maybe the pill and stressing just delayed my period so after my 1st period didn’t come I just wanted to wait and thought well maybe it will come late if not it will definitely come next month. But I should have gotten it already and I’m freaking out!! my appointment is 2morrow to see what is going on and this has to be the scariest thing i went through not only am I young but my mom just found out my sis was with her 3rd child and will probably kill me if I was to be pregnant..Anyway i would love to hear feedbacks so plz reply..Thanks pregnant
let me start off by apologizing to all of you women who are on here for support, after using the morning after pill, for all the stupid pointless bickering that is of no use to you in SUPPORTING you through your hard times and serious questions. I’M SORRY!
i myself took the morning after pill back in early April. like most of us i had and accident with the condom. to be honest i didn’t have any side effects immediately after taking it. at least non that were noticeable. BUT, when May came around i was a week and a half late with my period. i wasn’t really worried about it i tend to have faith in medications. however after my normal period ended about five days later i continued to have discharge. large brown clots that i knew was old blood. i was like “ok, a side effect” i was fine until i realized that two week had gone by and i still had the discharge sometimes heavy sometimes light. i am now on my 25 day of discharge and one month since the first day of my period. i asked my doctor about it and gave all the details to him. he said it was an unusual side effect but nevertheless a side effect of the high levels of hormones pumped into me by the MAP. the discharge was just old blood and tissue build up form my uterus wall which is what is normally discharged during your period. I’m am now starting to worry because he told me if it didn’t clear up by the end of my next period (sometime next week) that one of the ways to stop it was to open up my cervix and scrape it all off of my uterus wall. I’m scared because of some of the comments I’m reading on here talking about having the side effects for months, I’m thinking about possibly going through with it and possibly getting scaring. if anyone has gone through something similar i would like some input. BTW I’m not thinking about having children until I’m in my thirty’s I’m currently 23.
Ok, I have to comment on the women who are lecturing others on here. I am pro-life and I am a Christian. What ever beliefs others may have is up to them. May God judge them, I can not. The best way to show others, in my beliefs, is to show by example. Lecturing is not the right way. What I do feel is that there is much confusion on the difference between these types of pills. “PLAN B” is birth control…end of story. It is the very same as taking a normal bc “pill” just 5 times the normal dose. It is not an abortion pill…it is birth control. So if you are against pregnancy prevention in that sense, then you may disagree with it. I think there is nothing wrong with birth control and I think in today’s society it is a wonder drug. However, if those saying you are destroying yourself to another on here are referring to an actual abortion pill. That is a whole other matter and you should make sure you understand what you are doing. Know the difference is all. Know there is a difference between these two pills. I always have to remind myself not to get sucked into this world too deeply because one day I will be judged on those decisions. I can not let the god of convienence and irresponsibility compromise my morals. I am 32 and I am scared I am pregnant again. Took morning after pill 2 weeks ago. I have twins even from a long marriage but now divorced. Even at my age, you got to stay focused and remember make the man eat ya out more!! As simple as that!
i had sex when i was 3 days away from gettin my period.The condom broke. I took the morning after pill the day after,but i still have no gotten my period. Its been a week and a half. I have thrown up for the past 2 days.what does this mean. Is my body just takin the pill wierd, or do i need 2 get a pregnancy test?
hey sam
i recommend you to take a pregnancy test to be make sure but its best to be taken after 19 days of uprotected sex.. im the mean time, dont freak out.. there is some chance that you throwing up is just a side effect of the pill which you have taken.. best wishes
hi em i had unprotected sex (without my consent)it was horrible and was also my first time.i took the morning after pill two hours after it happened.i had just finished my period that day.5 days after it was like my period came again..it wasnt as heavy as it should be and it only lasted three and a half days.my period is due within the next week and a half but my nipples are just sore to touch is all.im so worried that iam pregnant..what do you think?
well im diffrent to all of you, im 14 and i had sex with my boyfriend.. i no im younge and all but i thourght it was right, anyways the condom broke.. he got me the pill and i took with within 12 hours. its not 2 days later and i am feeling none of these side affects does that mean its not working??
My cycle ended on May 1st, on May 3rd I was sexually assaulted. When I went to the hospital they gave me the morning after pill. A week later I started bleeding very heavily with bad cramps and backache. It lasted for about 8 days. It is now June 14th and I have not started my cycle yet. Is this normal?
ive noticed almost everyone who has stated their issues on here goes MIA afterwards, like we never know what happened to them in the end, so i am here to share my own personal experience with this plan b method. i have written some comments (when i was scared ****less) please read 329 for my story, and now.. i am sharing what has come to the end of my experience.
to all the girls who’s having different types of side effects after taking the morning after pills (plan b), i feel u girls and i know how frustrating it can be when our periods has gone MIA or irregular spotting and bleeding has occurred. but before anything, dont stress yourself out just yet because u girls dont know what is really going on, morning after pills is a very high dosage of hormones and it DEFINITELY messes with our cycles. my period was almost 2 weeks late and i was so stressed out to the point where i was going slowly insane, but now it has finally came around, i have taken 6 pregnancy tests and gone to the gyno twice for lab testing just to ease my mind but no matter what, i cant seen to calm my nerve because i was worried sick so i totally feel u girls. my best suggestion is to keep yourself calm and keep a few pregnancy tests handy so whenever doubts fills ur mind, use it just to remind yourself u r NOT pregnant. ur period will come, its just the matter of time now, u guys might expereince different types of side effects but it will all go away soon enough, now i know some of u girls find it hard to get by the days but trust me, everything will be fine in the end, just take this as a valuable lesson to learn and we just gotta be more careful in the future so we dont need to go through all this again. i wrote this especially for u girls because its hard i know but hang in there, it will come.
god bless and remember, ALWAYS practice safe sex.
hey Jenn,
i wanna ask does bleeding after taking the pills count as period. my last period is on 1st of May, on the 8th-10th i had some bleeding due to the pills, until now i still have no period. please help !!
Hi 123, No bleeding after morning after pill does not count as a period. I started bleeding 1-week after my period just 48 hours after taking Plan B. I ended up having a normal mensie the following Month (April) only it was 2- days early. I didn’t have all these side effects from the PLan B either other that my mensie being really late in May. But, if you are more than a week late for your monthly you should do a pregnancy test just to be on the safe side. I have many posts on here I just haven’t been back for a while because I under went a surgery and got the Copper IUD (the one without hormones) so far I have only had really bad cramps but, I think it is also from the surgery. Anyway if you have any questions i’ll do my best to answer them.
hello 123,
i can imagined what is going through ur mind right now and trust me, it irritates me knowing girls are going through such stress.
i meant, we went out and got the pills but yet, all these side effects has gotten us so stressed out afterwards anyways. anna is right about what she said regarding to bleeding a few days after taking the morning after pills does not consider a period. it is just a common side effect a lot of girls gets after taking the pills such as spotting and bleeding in between periods. high numbers of girls gets 2 priods in one month and some has delayed period (which is what happened to us). dont worry girl, it will come but make sure u have a few home pregnancy tests around so it can slightly ease ur mind when doubts comes around. or i can suggest u make a appointment to go in a local gyno to take a lab test and speak to one of the staff there, they’re normally very concerning and comforting. hope all goes well. i know how hard it is but dont stress it. if u have any questions, please add me on msn or email me at Jenn1208@hotmail.com i will gladly answer any questions u might have, same goes to other girls who’s seeking for advices and comments.
best wishes to all, and remember to always practice safe sex.
hey Jenn and Anna
thankyou for your comment, yes i have been stress out for a while because my last period is 1st of may now is like more than 6 weeks, i tried 2 pregnancy tests, both shown negative.i went to the GP and got monthly pills soo i will start it as soon as this freaken period start.. >
hey 123, ur very welcome! i can only imagined what u r going through =/ its frustrating isnt it? *sigh* its n great idea for u to get on the pills so u dont need to worry about this anymore but remember to always take it on time and dont miss a pill because it is very important. ive added u on msn but i didnt see u on, plz send me a msg whenever u get on just so i know u r on my friend list.
best wishes and dont stress it, it will come in no time. msg me 
im always on msn. 
hello everyone,
i come back to tell all the people who have been paranoid by their late period.Keep being positive because your period will come. My period finally came. i was stress out to the max. but it came later 3 weeks late.
thanks for all those people who took time to reply my question. thanks heaps for Jenn and Anna support ^^
I took the morning after pill the same night I had unprotected sex. I was a bit intoxicated… On June 20 in the morning I realized I had gotten my period. It was very light. Now, I haven’t had my period in a LONG time before all this, it’s actually been about 2 years, and I know it’s because I’m over weight. Now I still have my period but it is VERY heavy and I’m in extreme pain. It’s making me very nervous. Should I go to the doctor?
(SH) I want to clarify for you that when you take the Plan B and bleed within a few days it is NOT a menstrual. It very clearly states that on the package insert. Also, why would you think you needed Plan B if you haven’t had a period in years. You do realize you need to ovilate to get pregnant right? That means you need to have a period. It is in fact extremely rare to be able to get pregnant without ovulating so rare I have never heard of it. It is completely normal to have cramping and irregular bleeding after plan B. It also can have some serious complictions with it which is why you should NEVER use it as regular birth control. If you are going to be sexually active you should use some form of birth control and not depend on Plan B as a way out. If you read the insert inside the package it will tell you this. GOOD LUCK! Remember always use protection NO Birth Control protects against HIV, and other Sexually Transmitted diseases.
If you are in the UK go to https://yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/ and report your side effects. If you are in the US you probably have a similar system. It is very important to do this, to make sure the company is forced to adequately warn people of all effects.
I don’t believe that they do this properly. The chances of me getting pregnant were very low, I just took the MAP as a backup. If I had known the real possible side effects I would not have taken it. It has been a week and I am still have constant stomach pain, i feel sick, have increased appetite, lack of interest in sex and I fainted. It seems that my experiences are not unusual and I believe the company should outline the full possible effects. I am really worried about what this pill has done to my body, I was so regular and healthy before.

First off… I took it as a precaution because he ejaculated inside me. And I started bleeding 2 weeks after I took the pill. I’ve had a period before, but I heard that even though I’m not bleeding that I may still be ovulating. I know Plan B is not a birth control, but my doctor once told me that if I took birth control pills that it may regulate my period. I’m bleeding a lot and there are clots and everything… should I go to the doctor???
You might want to go to the doctor just becuase the bleeding is so abnormal for you but, it is pretty common to have a side effect of bleeding with the Plan B because it has such a huge amount of hormones in it. If you are experiencing abnormal pain in your belly as well definetly go to the doctor you could have a tubal pregnancy.
The pain isn’t as bad as it was the first two days, but the bleeding has gotten worse… and the pain is like a stomach ache, but in the lower part of my belly but I don’t need to use the bathroom. I’m going to go to the clinic after work and see whats going on. Thanks!
Hi, I wanted to add that on the enclosed information inside the plan B box it states that you can have irregular bleeding, cramping, nauesa, sore breasts… an so on. I have used the Plan B and personally didn’t have any really bad side effects from it but I have PMDD (Pre Menstrual Diforic Disorder) I get severe cramps, tender breasts, severe moddiness, I also become extremely tired. So if I had any of the side effects from this pill I wouldn’t of known. Also, did you know that the Plan B makers tell you to take the pills 12-hours apart but, most health care professionals will tell you it is more effective to take both pills at the same time. Just a little F.Y.I. Your welcom (SH) I hope there is nothing wrong with you keep us updated. Thanks.
THE MORNING AFTER PILL MADE ME SUFFER A MAJOR STROKE IN 2007-I was 18..Here a some of the important details of events which surrounded it…
On the 16th of february 2007 i took the morning after pill following the chemists instructions of taking the 2 tablets at the one time.I had left it too long to be within the 72 hour time frame of taking the tablets 12 hours apart hence the double dosage.
On the morning of the 17th of February i suffered a major stroke in the shower. I was 18.
Home alone, I collapsed in the shower and became paralysed down my entire left side and permanently blind in the left half of both eyes. I dragged myself out over the bath and crawled into the kitchen to get to the house phone. After trying my mother and father i left a scrambled voicemail message on dads phone. Calling me back and hearing of my symptoms he immediately called the ambulance, and my aunty(she lives 15 minutes away, and works in elderly care).
She beat the ambulance.
When the ambulance arrived the officers refused to take me to the hospital claiming i had symptoms of a migraine and if she was worried then she could drive me to my local GP. My aunty argued and yelled with the officers to take me to the hospital but everytime they refused.
Eventually they gave in and drove me to the Austin Hospital in Melbourne, Victoria.
That same night they tried to send me home.
I was still paralysed and blind.
The doctors reluctantly gave me a CT scan which only shows up bleeds on the brain.
The next night they tried to send me home again with my mother in tears, yelling “there’s something wrong with her!”
Even more reluctantly they then took me away for a scan which revealed a major clot.
Now you can imagine the fuss they made. TWO DAYS it had taken them to believe I had had a stroke…2 days.
When i eventually got out of hospital the neurosurgeon came into my room with a showbag filled with pamphlets and fridge magnets which said “STROKE IS ALWAYS AN EMERGENCY”-If you are suffering from any of these symptoms call 000 immediately.
I had 5 of the 6 symptoms;
*Numbness, weakness and paralysis
*Difficulty speaking and understanding
*Dizziness,difficulty speaking and an unexplained fall
*Loss of eyesight in one or both eyes
*Headache (severe and abrupt onset)
It was insult to injury.
The year went on with in-the-home rehab and a series of studies i was involved in as a guinea pig.
In October 2007 I suffered from my first epileptic seizure as a result of the stroke.
I’m still dependent on my epilepsy medication and am no longer able to drive. I am almost 21 and still have no sight in my left field of vision and till this day, I cannot find one doctor who will support me in the fact that the stroke was caused by the Morning After Pill…
The long and short of it is this…
The Morning After Pill floods your body with hormones(red blood cells)…
The risk of having a stroke after taking the MAP is 41% whereas i took the 2 tablets together…
An over release of red blood cells is a blood clot..that risk for me increased to 82% but “It wasn’t the morning after pill that caused the stroke” was it.
The whole situation was handled terribly and i’m thinking now of maybe going to court and getting compensation or something…i need support and evidence of other similar cases to pursue with this but I don’t know how long it will take.
IF ANYBODY KNOWS OF ANYONE OR ANY CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE THIS PLEASE EMAIL ME…eryn_wright@y7mail.com
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story.
Eryn
eryn, my goodness thank you for sharing your story with us. Young people need to know what they are putting into their bodies! This is a perfect example of what could happen. I am sorry it has effected your for life, it simply is tragic. It is clear on the MAP’s inserts about blood clots it also states that smokers and people over 35 years old are at a greater risk. Since inside the leaflet the company tells you to take the pills 12-hours apart I am not sure you can get compensted from them but, maybe the chemist who told you to take them at the same time because it would be assumed that the risk of such blood clots and other side effects would be pretty close to doubled when taking both pills at the same time. I don’t know about the laws where you live I only know in California which is where I live so please don’t take my advise as a matter of fact it is just specultion. I have a feeling you may have some sort of liability lawsuit especially for the cops, doctors, and other people who didn’t believe that you were having a stroke. Maybe your eyesite could have been saved or maybe you wouldn’t have had so much recovery time had they responded quicker but, honestly I don’t know that would be for a lawyer to decide. I am so glad my husband and I chose to get me the IUD I couldn’t even imagine if something so terrible happened to me since we are raising three kids. WOW what a story. THank you for sharing!
i took the morning after pill on Monday,June 22, and it is not Friday June 26th. Since i took those 2 pills, eveything i eat or drink i feel sick. i dont get pains, just lke a nervous puke feeling. i find i am hungry more often but when i get hungry its a sick hungry, like i feel liek i have eaten in days when really it’s only been an hour. im cranky and have crazy mood swings. i hate eatig cause i feel like i could puke any second. Can anyone help me or give me advice? is any of this normal??
Thanks!
Hi (Anne),
it is “normal” to get the pukey sick feeling from the MAP. Unfortunatly some women and girls experience it more intense than others. I am sorry you feel so bad. It will pass usually within a few hours. If you are getting really, really sick and it has been more than 4-hours talk to a health care professional because you could be having an allergic reaction to the pill and may need to be treated for that.
Many symptoms are linked to taking the morning after pill. I suggest that if u can’t stand the things that u are feeling, see ur GP or go to a family planning clinic (maybe go back to the place u recieved the pill from). I wouldn’t worry too much, the worst outcome is usually that u may still be pregnant, which if u suspect, u shud take a test… Im still awaiting my period which is a couple of days late as of now, and im a little worried, but im trying not to think of it
x
okay so heres my story
hopefully someone can shed some light for me
on june 14th(a couple days before my period) i had sex with my bf and the condom slipped but not completely. he said some of his stuff got on his balls but not on me. being the worry freak that i am i took plan b the next day (monday june 15) and the next pill tuesday morning. i got my period on june 19th(friday) like normal. it was alittle lighter and shorter than normal but not my by much. it ended tuesday.
wed. and thursday when i wiped there was a slight pink spot in my discharge that only showed up once throught both of those days.
its now 2 weeks after i took the pills and i still have breast tenderness. abdominal pain on one side mostly. back pain. chest pain. stomach pain. shoulder pain. i dont feel like im gonna puke or anything. constipated. peeing alot more.
since im still freaking out i plan on taking a PT this week and hope it comes out negative.
ive emailed a few online Dr.s and they assure me that im okay since i had already ovulated and the egg was long dead when i had the incident. but i still cant stop freaking out.
they also said that i may be experiencing pms again and might get anotehr period this month.
=/
(Natalie) Hi, all of the symtopms you are experiencing are normal after taking plan B. What worries me about you is that you are having one sided abdominal pain becuase it can be a tubal pregnancy. Please if it gets any worse go to the doc to be on the safe side tubal pregnancies don’t always show up on an EPT and they can kill you if your tube bursts.
thanks for your reply anna =]
i will deffinitly get it checked out if the pain gets worse but just so you know the pain isnt even close to where my tubes are. i was talkin to another girl who had similar symptoms and she said it was a cyst that never went away on its own. however ill keep you posted if anything else occurs.
i have reason to believe that this pill caused more medical problems for me than intended.
ever since i took it ive been having neck pain and i was rubbing my neck only to realize i now have 2 bean sized lumps in my neck that wasnt there before i took plan b. it worries me that it could be something serious and i will mention it to my dr when i go for my yearly checkup next friday.
lastly
ive also posted on a similar blog site where ladies disscus their experiences with plan b
heres the link if anyone wants to take a look
i found it very helpful.

Hi Natalie,
it sounds like you are having an allergic reaction to the Plan B. Have you ever been on depo or another birth control like that? I had a severe allergic reaction to an antibiotic called Bactrim. I severe pain at the base of my neck so severe I thought my head might pop off at any moment. My lyphnods in the back of my neck sweeled up as well and I had lumps on the back of my neck. Your sitution sounds similar only with fewer sid effects and a different drug.
nope ive never used any birth control
but who knows maybe thats where all this is comming from.
