"i used ella one after twelve hours of &#039;unprotected sex&#039; i was drunk when everything happend and was positive i didn&#039;t have sex ,but just no too sure and my mind led me into paranoia. so i decided to not take the chance and take the emergency contraception. the pharmacists aren&#039;t judgmental at all and are completely understanding im sure you have to be 17 to purchase it so me being 18 was no problem. i took the pill on the 11th and my period was due on the 20th. i took it straight away and the first two days i had no symptoms then on day 4-6 i experienced hot flushes, pelvic pain, cramps and bloating. above all it worked and i got my period today the 18th two days early!!! i would completely recommend it even though it&#039;s pricey. be safe"
