I'm just curious about others' experiences with this emergency contraceptive. I've heard it can be really helpful in a pinch, but I've also heard the side effects can be nasty. Specifically, I've been wondering about the potential for strong side effects, like severe stomach pain or allergic reactions. I heard from a friend that she had a miserable time with it, but maybe she just had bad luck? Has anyone had a similar experience, or maybe a good one to balance it out? Does it work as well as other morning-after pills? Does the timing of when you take it change anything?
