"Plan B" - brand name or generic - NEAUSEA

[Maribelle]

I'm curious if anyone else has taken the "morning after pill" & what the experience was like for you ...

I took the generic version a while ago & had to also request Rx for horrible neausea

This is purely a question based on curiosity -- no need for comments about using condoms (we do) or a debate based on religion/morality ... feel free to send me a Private Message if you want

Most women whom I know who have taken it are not eager to take it again. Nausea is a common problem

I have taken it before and I would definitely not be eager to take it again. I had extreme nausea with it too, I was vomiting after taking the second round of pills for pretty much the whole day until they worked their way out of my system. They also messed up my menstrual cycle for the next few months after that. I went from being extremely regular and being able to know on the day when I was going to get my period (I wasn't taking BC pills at the time), to being completely off schedule. It took about three cycles for my body to get back to normal after I took those pills. I would imagine a bad experience is common because you are basically subjecting your body to a huge amount of hormones in a very short period of time.

I took them about 3 weeks ago, had spotting about 2 weeks ago.. I read so many websites about the side effects and what I should expect, most of them warned that my menstrual cycle would be effected, but that the nausea and/or vomitting and the headaches, backaches, etc would be over within 24 hours of taking the pills.... I am still sick! the first week after I took it I felt fine.. then when I started to spot I got those side effects.

I doubt I'm pregnant, but that test is coming in 3 days. !!

I do use condoms myself, have only had to resort to this emergency contraceptive twice in 5 years and the first time there were NO side effects!

have you taken it already? or are you asking for future preparation?
I would like to know what others experience as well.. there's so much information on the internet, but nothing from an actual person, just statistics.
