What were the side effects like for you? I had to take it for the first time today. In all my seven years of being sexually active, I've never had a condom break. I thought it never would happen, but it finally did.

It is so good that it's available over the counter now. That makes it so much easier. I took the first pill 6 hours ago and so far I'm fine. I've just had a little bit of fatigue and light-headedness. I've been scared that I would be horribly sick for the next two days.

no effect at all for me. just felt normal.

Same. In fact, nobody seems to feel any side effects. All that stuff in the label just makes you think "oh my God...I'm going to start feeling sick.." and then start convincing yourself you do feel sick

me too.

i puked my brains out for a whole day. it was the sickest ive ever been. and i didnt even take the second dose. maybe theyve changed it since then, i took it almost 7 years ago.

Yeah, I think it was probably a different pill back then.
I was so paranoid I would be puking all day and feeling sick, but I'm still fine.

i've taken it a few times and i've felt fine but i did have a really bad hangover once when i took it and i was worried i'd be sick and have to go back for another one, but i was fine.

I felt normal, just a bit tired. I was really lucky it happened in the UK though, it's really hard to get in my Catholic country

Yeah,in the uk we drop it for kicks.
You can get it down londis.

Hurrah for being christian.

I didn't actually puke, but I felt extremely nauseous all day, I took it about 7 years ago as well. Glad to hear they have changed it.

For me, it was 100% effective and 100% NOT A HASSLE.

It's a life-saver!

i wonder what that pill is really doing. what is IN that pill? how does it work?

i have questions.

i know how you feel, you have to have a doctor's prescription to get it here
which is really stupid because if a condom breaks on a saturday night most doctors aren't open on a sunday

when I took it, my understanding was that it was basically like a month's worth of birth control pills. I don't know if it's still like that.

Levonorgestrel (or L-Norgestrel) is a molecule used in hormonal contraceptives. It is a 19-nortestosterone progestin derived from testosterone. It has mostly progestogenic effects, but also has androgenic and estrogenic effects.

[edit] Oral contraceptives
At a relatively low dose, levonorgestrel can be formulated as a monophasic, biphasic, or triphasic tablet. In the United States, the available dosages for the monophasic formulation range from 0.1 to 0.15 mg. This range is slightly modified in biphasic and triphasic forms.


[edit] Emergency contraception
Levonorgestrel is used in emergency contraception pills, both in a combined regimen which includes estrogen, and as a levonorgestrel-only method. For the latter, a single dose of 1500 ug within 3 days is almost 100% effectve. There are many names for levonorgestrel-only emergency contraception products, including Plan B, Levonelle One Step, and Postinor-2.

I felt fine after taking it, but it really messed up my cycle afterwards for a couple of months.

ROTFLMAO!

I had to take it about 2 years ago. I didn't puke, but felt like I needed to for about 3 days. Couldn't eat the whole time. I was very sore and crampy and bloated for about a week or so afterward. Not much fun, but better than having to get an abortion a few weeks down the line. I have a neg reaction to the pill, too. Had to call my gyno on a Sunday morning, her kids were screaming in the background, she seemed annoyed.
