"ella worked with mild side effects. after being sexually active during my peak fertile time, i took ella. i did not use any other method of birth control. i took anti-nausea pills (meclizine, 50mg) along with ella. side effects were mild. a bit of nausea the night i took it, followed by some upset stomach and dizziness the following day. my period came and was normal, maybe a bit early. 

i would recommend ella for anyone uncertain about their birth control method. upon taking it, i would recommend staying in for the night and having healthy, light meals. "
