The active ingredient in the Julie Morning After Pill™ — Levonorgestrel — works by temporarily delaying ovulation, aka the release of an egg from the ovary
No egg means no fertilization. No fertilization means no pregnancy
The Julie Morning After Pill™ should be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex or birth control failure
The morning-after pill golden rule: The sooner you take it, the better it works
Levonorgestrel does not terminate or harm an existing pregnancy
The medication has no effect on your ability to get pregnant in the future
Levonorgestrel will not work if you are already pregnant or ovulating

Does not work. I’m currently 7 weeks pregnant thanks to this failing. That’s what I get for buying the cheapest option.

Doesnt work
Make sure you’re not already ovulating, it is completely ineffective if so. I never had that issue with the plan b brand or take action, but this one.. if you are ovulating it won’t work at all.

Worked!
I didn't get pregnant and I for sure would have been if not for Julie! I'm in college and this was the easiest decision I could have made and the least expensive! Very effective!

No issues with Julie!
Used Julie a few times, works great! If you track your ovulation, you will know if it worked or not, if it didn't, it's likely because you were ovulating babes ;=) all EC brands use the same ingredient, this one is way less expensive! And their social content is so fun and educational!

First time trying Julie, worked for me!
Worked for me! One thing I've learned is with morning after pills, it works if you aren't ovulating and I keep track of my ovulation! Anyone who says it didn't work didn't know they were ovulating, it's literally the same ingredient as Plan B 🥴 and $10 cheaper!

Do not buy. Does not work.
Didn't work. Had to pay an extra $300 for plan C. Dont buy this brand. You will be pregnant.

To take before ovulation
It works IF USED CAREFULLY. MAY NOT WORK during ovulation(common sense) so all the pregnant people commenting either didn't use it right or took the pill TOO late. To each their own body but ladies rather to be safe than sorry. I will say this though, anytime you are active YOU ARE at risk of pregnancy, so be wise! Now you may say "why just us it takes two" be we ladies should be in CONTROL of our own bodies. So next time you don't want to use protection....keep this in your mind & ask yourself if you'd like 10 min of pleasure or $50 out of your pocket...YOUR CHOICE.

Bad Side Effects
Absolutely horrendous side effects! I’ve never in my life had something make me feel so instantly terrible. I took this medication around 7pm and by 12am I came down with the worst migraine of my life that lasted hours and my energy was so low I thought maybe I was getting sick! Still to be determined if this got the job done.

Made me feel horrible sick dizzy, nausea and huge headache the next day. Plan B or Take action NEVER made me feel this way. Will not be purchasing again.

Easily purchased from the shelf, no locked case or pharmacy obstacles.
Props to Target for having this stocked on the shelves, not locked behind glass or stuck behind a pharmacy counter. Every store should follow this practice! (I definitely think the price needs to be brought down so that everyone who needs it can access it, but I understand that isn't so cut and dry). Side note: anyone in need can get these from Planned Parenthood, no appointment needed.
