Description

pregnancy when taken within 72 hours from the time of occurrence! Available

This pill is expensive but kids are more expensive

We have 3 kids and definitely don’t want a 4th ….if you’re in the same boat buy this pill.

Staying Childfree

Birth control makes me feel off and I don’t always track my ovulation like I should. This has prevented an unwanted pregnancy & continues to be a better option to me morally than getting an abortion later on.

Take that day or the next day

I took this right in the morning and after 3 days I started my period extremely early which sucks, but at least it worked. I just don’t like how expansive it is.

Highly recommend

This bad boy has never let me down 10/10 recommend (by the way it’s just supposed to reduce the chance of you getting pregnant by delaying/stopping ovulation) and me personally I haven’t gotten any of the symptoms except for nausea.

Works if you take it ASAP

2 weeks ago I took it within 12 hours. I didn’t want to wait later than 12 hours to take it. I got a period this week but cramps are worse than usual. It works if you take it ASAP. I’m not pregnant. Never been happier to see my period.
