"i&#039;m sharing my experience because my number one fear when taking the pill was the severity of the side effects everyone talks about. the way people have made it sound i would be sick all the time and i felt that was something to worry about with my busy life. me and my bf had sex and didn&#039;t realize until it was over that it had broke. i took it maybe an hour after it happened and received light bleeding for no more than two days and then recieved my period on time two weeks later. i&#039;m sure i had symptoms but to put it in perspective i didn&#039;t have anything that felt out of the ordinary from an occasional headache or diarrhea from eating something bad and i&#039;m not even sure those even correlated with the pill."
