I hadn’t been on any hormonal birth control in over a decade. In December, I had a mishap- which resulted in my taking plan b. I knew my body wouldn’t react well. I also know each person is different but I wanted to share my experience so others can be informed. I’d still use it in an emergency, but in my case it wasn’t an actual plan b emergency so I wish I could go back and undo it.

1) or did not affect my period. It started and stopped on time that month and the next two months.

2) the two days after I took it, I slept, cramped and laid around. I was so tired.

3) a month after I took it- I developed painful cysts on my ovaries. I had never had them in my entire 30 something years.

4) my face began to break out around my chin and forehead. I never break out except once around my period. My face was an oil slick.

5) the next two cycles consisted of a light period with no cramping and then a horrible 10 day period where I was in horrible pain.

6) my breasts continued to be sore to the touch for months after.

7) my hormones felt out of control- hence the cyst which my doctor said can be caused by irregular hormones.

7) my doctor suggested I go on Minestrin FE to regulate my hormones. I’ve been on it for 2 weeks now and my face is clearing up and I’m feeling better.
