"i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend 5 days before i was supposed to get my period. i went to go buy emergency contraception after 48 hours. some symptoms i experienced were breast pains or tenderness, tiredness, and i did break out. don&#039;t worry i was paranoid too since i took it after 48 hours. i was researching all day if this pill does work. well it did for me. i did get my period 8 days late. but, i got it."
