Spend the extra $ for name brand plan B. I’ve been bleeding for 7 days already and have never had that happen with the name brand plan b. Manufacturer makes a huge difference. There’s a reason this is cheaper.

It has the same ingredients as the more expensive contraceptive. It’s has worked every time I’ve needed it to. I’ve never experienced anything abnormal after taking it either so that’s a win too!

Although I’m not pregnant, I’ve had some terrible side effects; cramps, bloating, diarrhea, and very heavy period after. It has been almost a month and the bloating is still present. I’ve never felt worse. I’ll never buy this brand again. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money on Plan B.

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 - 9 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.
