"i had unprotected sex on day 12 of my cycle. i have two kids. i am 6 months postpartum, and breastfeeding. i am not ready for a third kid, any time soon! i&#039;ve never used ec, so i wasn&#039;t sure what to expect. i didn&#039;t take it till 53 hours after.. so i was very paranoid it wasn&#039;t going to work. 6 days after taking it, i got my period!! i&#039;ve never been so happy.. cramps and all! i had no side effects at all after taking the pill. i also don&#039;t think my cramps are worse than normal. i would recommend ec to someone, i wouldn&#039;t wait long to take it, but know that it still worked for me even after 48 hours. i&#039;m so grateful! now time to get back on bc!!"
