Not pregnant but I agree with the girls who said to take another brand. I experienced terrible pelvic pain about a week after I took this. It went on for days and my period was way heavier when it finally came. I never want to experience that again 💀

Mini - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
My Boyfriend and I had an oopsie 3 days after my period ended so I took this take action pill 14 hours after. I’m 5’1 200+ pounds and I was a little skeptical at first because I heard that it doesn’t work that great bigger girls but I took it anyway. I didn’t get any of the symptoms until a week later and I wanted to either cry or fight everything. lol but I ended up getting my period about a week later than when it was supposed to be. But I’m not pregnant so that’s good :)

Didn’t work, got pregnant!!! Wish I would have read how many people had this same experience before I bought it. Have used other brands (Plan B) in the past and that has been effective.

Beware of side effects

Marie E - 2 months ago
There is only one positive to taking this drug instead of Plan B, and that is it comes at a cheaper cost. But, the side effects completely outweigh that benefit. I read the reviews prior to purchasing and considered all negative ones to be isolated cases. I also took into consideration that it has the same main ingredient. The end result is that I did not end up pregnant BUT I had nausea, headaches, and stomach cramps from the moment I took that pill to 3-4 weeks after. Just as others have mentioned, spend the extra dollars on the Plan B.

Nesha32 - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
I was nervous, because I actually took the pill during ovulation I took it after s*x the condom popped. My cycle is always on time and very normal so I know when it comes on but I was heading to cycle day 31 and I was like losing my mind. Wondering if I was pregnant. so I took a pregnancy test and it was negative then the next day when I looked at the test again it was a very faint line. It gave me a false positive then once the afternoon hit thats when my period came on.When I say I was so relieved, I was so relieved.🤣🤣🤣. LADYS DONT TAKE THE PIlL DURING OVULATION ITS TO RISKY

AnnieD - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
Anyone can understand that it's the same ingredient as Plan B, but manufacturers make a huge difference. First time in five years that I choose something else (this) over Plan B happens to be the first time emergency contraception doesn't work for me. Seems too coincidental. Usually I get cramping and uterine shedding soon after Plan B, didn't feel or get either with this one, which should've been more cause for concern looking back, but oh well. Just spend the extra!
