I've heard some scary things about the morning after pill, but I can't tell if it's overblown or if I've got cause for concern. I understand it's an emergency contraceptive pill, it works by stopping the release of an egg and it's most effective the sooner you take it. I was wondering how common the severe side effects are? The whole allergic reaction thing is freaking me out. And how do I deal with the changes in my period? Is it just going to disrupt it or is it going to be some other crazy thing?_help
