ellaOne pill

Ezinelle pill

Levonelle One Step pill

Levonorgestrel pill

Took Ellaone in 3rd out of the 5 day window as we were unsure did condom leak since it tore. Had sex protected but failed contraception on 9th day of my cycle took Ella 3 days later. After ingesting felt cramps hour later. Over the weeks had been moody / tingling breasts / back ache / headaches dizzy nauseous and very bad acne. Took two tests both negative so awaiting aunty flo to make appearance as expected . I presume the tablet did its job but I wouldn’t rush to take it again instead I would go on the pill as well as use second method of contraception.

Extremely effective. So good that I got into an unhealthy pattern of using this pill at least once a month for 6mos.

Do not recommend taking this if you’re allergic to milk or lactose intolerant. I was incredibly nauseous for over 3 days.

I have had plenty of both Ella One and Levonelle (am I spelling these right?!). They're both bloody excellent and for me no side effects except to my wallet at £30 a time. No side effects and infinitely preferable to an abortion. I eventually sorted out a copper coil because the morning after pill clearly isn't sustainable as a first choice for me and my partner and we don't like condoms. I've noticed people saying that it's 'bad' or 'unhealthy' to take multiple morning after pills and I'd like to know why. I don't know if they mean physiologically, financially, or 'morally' .

Had to take after a condom issue (whoopsie) while waiting to get an appointment for a coil fitting. Was concerned about all the side effects I’d read online but was really relieved that I didn’t experience any and was simple to take. Does the job (I’m not pregnant) but very, very expensive from local pharmacist. I wasn’t offered a range of the options available and in future will be ordering from the lowdown if needed again

I become pregnant even after taking Ellaone literally the morning after. I was so shocked to find out this will not work if you have already ovulated!!!! Please be careful!! I did not know this and was told by the nurse when I had to get an abortion. Very traumatic experience and did not think this would happen to me.

The only problem with it is the price because MAP is expensive. Access is easy (UK) although you do sometimes have to put up with the provider being a bit embarrassed, judgey or asking you confidential questions on the shop floor 🙄.

Did the job just fine but definitely won’t be using that as my long term contraception

I had a good experience as it provided confidence and reassurance. Not 100% effective for some though and quite expensive

I mean, it did the job! I didn't get pregnant! I was early in my cycle (around cycle day 12) It was a super precaution as I was unsure if withdrawal was effective at the time. I was in an awful mood about 1/2 days after taking it (like mega PMS) and had spotting just before my period started. I also had a bout of thrush just before I got my period too after taking it.

I took this morning after pill last month and had no side effects but took it again this month and it delayed my period by 11 days and prolonged it by an extra few days. I was also heavier during this time.

Made me feel ill for the rest of the day, fine again the next morning though. Had quite a bit of spotting and period a little later than usual.

I thought I didn’t have much negative side effect after this and I’ve taken it about twice or thrice in the last ten years when another contraceptive method has failed. Every time I have taken it, about a month after I have an incredible amount of hair fall which really worried me.

I took this within 24hours of sex, during which the condom had failed. It didn't work and I ended up having an abortion.

It was terrible ,I felt sick. My period came ten days late with sore breasts (the are still sore even though I'm done). I would recommend it if not trying to fall pregnant. The side effects are worth it.

I had to use it twice. Both times I was already quite stressed about becoming pregnant, and some side effects didn’t help considering that they can be similar to pregnancy side effects. I also experienced bleeding a few days after taking the pill that lasted 3/4 days so it changed my next cycle predictions which doesn’t help. I find it a bit frustrating that there Isn't any information about the bleeding anywhere. They all talk about “spotting” but I don’t feel like that accurately describes the bleeding felt after taking the morning after pill.

Made me feel quite nauseous about 30 mins after taking it (uncommon for me) and lasting about an hour , then after that no side effects
