"i was pretty sure i wasn&#039;t going to become pregnant, but just to be sure, i took plan b (i still spent an agonizing month waiting to see if i was right). i waited about 48 hours after intercourse to take it, because i was afraid of the side effects, and i had to work and give a presentation at school. i felt a bit &#039;off&#039; and nauseated after taking it, but nothing serious. don&#039;t let the side effects stop you from taking plan b. it&#039;s pricey, but i think it&#039;s a good idea to have a dose on hand, just in case."
