emergency contraception
"Plan B is a life saver! My boyfriend and I had sex for the first time during my most fertile days while I was ovulating.  He finished inside of me and the very next day we bought Plan B one step.  I took it around 10 hours after the incident.  I was worried non stop and reading these reviews night and day.  Around two days later I experienced a yeast infection, which was mild, and cleaned up on its own a few days later, but I was freaking out.  After research, I learned that Plan B can restart your cycle, causing the pH balance to be thrown off in the process, causing the yeast infection. I experienced a lot of mood swings over the few weeks, however my boyfriend was always extremely supportive and reminded me it would be alright and we had nothing to worry about.  If it wasn’t for him, I would have drove myself bananas for those few weeks.  I definitely recommend having your partner being a strong support system; it will make the process so much better when you know you’re not alone in this.   I ended up getting my period two days ahead of time and the only negative side effect from plan B was heavy cramps I haven’t experienced before.  I am now on birth control and look forward to never having to go through that again.  Relax, ladies!  It will work! (On a side note, I wasn’t aware the Plan B apparently had a weight limit until after I took the pill. There’s a myth that states it only works if you’re under 165 and will not work if you’re over 175.  The fact of the matter is, when testing plan b, the group of tested women were all around the same weight, and there was no group of women that was tested that weighed over 175.  So it is not so much as “It will not work”, but more of “we haven’t tested that far”  I am 5’8, and over that weight limit.   It worked for me, and it will work for you. Breathe! )"
