So I took it Friday Morning and it is now Sunday night. I have been feeling nausea which is normal i hear. I also have been feeling numbness in my hands. Its not horrible but its a tinging sensation. I have made my self throw up in hoping to feel better but it hasn't. Is this all normal or should I see a doctor?

Why did you think making yourself throw up would make you feel better? That's weird.

I'd call the pharmacist. I have never heard of hand tingling or numbness in relation to plan-b, or any other kind of hormonal birth control. Perhaps it's being caused by something totally unrelated, aka, you're stressed out and worried?

Well USUALLY when you feel like you have to throw up and then you throw up you feel better after. At least thats how I feel most of the time.

And I have horrible paranoia problems so the stress thing you mentioned could be right.

I just despise throwing up as probably the last thing on Earth I want to do, ever. The only time I ever allowed myself to throw up was when I was in debilitating pain, which was causing the nausea, and the first two times I'd puked the pain had been a 9 instead of a 10, so the third time instead of resisting I let it happen.

Be careful about throwing up when taking Plan B. When did you make yourself throw up? If it was within a few hours of taking the pill, that can decrease the effectiveness of it because you are throwing it up before it is absorbed into your system.

You may have picked up a small bug. Is anyone around you sick lately? I hope you feel better! You can always go to your doctor if you aren't feeling well and are worried.

did you eat right before or after you took the pills? I took them one time and they told me to eat around the time I took them in order to try and avoid the nausea.
