"i had unprotected sex on friday. i took the pill around noon the next day. the next few days were unbearable and i spent each minute overwhelmed with anxiety and panic. six days after i took the pill, i finally got my period. this experience has made me realize how important it is to practice safe sex.  if you are freaking out like i was about not getting your period, please do yourself a favor just don&#039;t psych yourself out. until your period comes, there&#039;s nothing you can do but wait.
