Symptoms after using the Plan B pill...

Recently I took about the Plan B emergency contraceptive(about 4 days ago), about 10 hrs after the condom broke while I was having sex with my boyfriend. I had a basic idea of what the side effects or symptoms after using the pill would be, but what Ive been experiencing is nothing like the infoirmation that I read about before consuming the pill...I have been vomitting non stop for about the last day. I have diahrea, headaches, sensitivity to light, and my body is severely fatigued. My body feels as if so one is taking my stomache and intestines and wringing them like you would do a wash cloth after ypou've finished using it.  I can feel my stomach doing turns anytime I try to digest any food I've tried eating...So as of lately I just stopped eating and the only thing that will calm my stomach a little is drinking water.  Another thing that has me very worried is when Im having a really bad stomache spasm I feel like I can barely breathe and my chest feels so heavy..........
.........Im not too concerned about being pregnant at this point..I want to know what in the world is going on in my body.  Has anyone else experienced these symptoms..or ever even taken the pill.  I'm wiggin out, and thinking about going to the doctor (should have consulted him before I bought the freakin pill)  I DESPERATELY NEED ADVISE

Hi everyone.

I took the Plan B contraceptive just yesterday because super early that morning the condom broke. I haven't felt anything at all as far as any throeing up or cramping or anything. The only thing i was experiencing was more drowsiness then normal and i was getting more nauseous in the car than normal but I was still able to deal with it. I really have no idea how this Plan B works and i'm completely terrified to have a child since i'm only 18 (my boyfriend is 19) and I do not want a child at any cost.

Can someone please tell me how it works? I've been freaking out because I don't want a child and I don't know how I can tell that it's working...

Thanks~♥

Hi,

I have only ever taken the pill 5 times before but every time i took it i had abdminal cramps and had a greater appetite and even had an itchy mild rash on my face which disappears onece my period is coming closer to the time! I have no idea why i get the allergic reaction as nobody seems to be having the same kind. I have no rash anywhere else apart from my T-zone on my face. I also feel rather sleepy and bloated. Does anybody know why this is?

Hi there, I took the pill about a week ago and  i have headaches, abdominal pain, back pain, and tiredness. I really hope it works. I am supposed to get my period the 23th of this month..I do have cramps in my lower belly and that usually tells me that my period is coming.. But I am a bit confused and worry because I dont know if it is normal to get a little bit of cramps a week before you are supposed to get your period..

I took plan B about 12 days before my period begins. Is it possible for me to be pregnant? I only took ONE pill, but i researched online and it says on some websites that 2 pills should be taken....
