I never had to use it, but I think a lot of people are don't understand how it really works,...to be honest, I didn't either.
But I certainly wouldn't put someone down for using it...compared to an unwanted pregnancy, taking the morning after pill is much better.

and for those that may not know what it is ,it's birth control. it's not the abortion pill. it's a high dose of birth control hormones to stop ovulation and PREVENT pregnancy, not end a pregnancy

Yes. I didn't have a lot of safe sex in college.

No, but a girlfriend did and it made her menstrual cycle all out of wack for the next 6 months. Better than an unplanned pregnancy though!

No, but a girlfriend has and she said it made her have her period for 2 weeks, and her menstrual cycle out of wack for the next 6 months. Better than an unplanned pregnancy though..

i took it a few years back and had no real negative side effects aside form some minimal cramping. i have however had friend get very sick/nauseous after taking it, so i think it depends on the person.

Unlike Plan B, it didn't make me nauseous/dizzy at all, but I was fatigued for three days or so and had a massive headache near the end of the third day that lasted a few hours. The fatigue could possibly have been from something else, but headaches are extremely rare for me so I'm pretty sure that at least that was from the Ella.

I took it quite recently (so luckily the side effects are still fresh in my mind!), so I can't tell you for sure whether or not it worked for me, but time will tell! Either way it was cheaper and much easier to get than Plan B.

I ended up getting it because I had ordered Plan B from a pharmaceutical website but was informed that they wouldn't ship to you if your shipping and billing addresses were different. I was pretty upset since that was mentioned nowhere on the product page or website, and they neglected to inform me until about 36 hours had passed! The site I ended up getting my Ella from had free overnight shipping, which was an added bonus (would've been 20$ extra on the other site).

I've used it twice and had good experiences both times. I didn't get the horrible nausea a lot of people do, and my pharmacist had briefed me on how to combat it anyways. It was worth it just for the piece of mind I had.

I haven't but two of my friends have. One took it after a condom broke, the other was just irresponsible and popped that shit like M&Ms.

I took it because I threw up shortly after taking my birth control pill (it had nothing to do with the pill, I had eaten some bad food) and had unprotected sex earlier in the day. It thankfully did not end in pregnancy.

Twice. No awful side effects...my stomach felt a little queasy, bleeding four or five days later, threw off the rhythm of my periods for a couple weeks, but otherwise it was fine.
