I dont think there's anything wrong with it....I know many people who have taken it and it has probably saved alot of unwanted pregnancy's

I took it too and some ppl said that I was wrong for doing it. But I took it and almost bled to death. I took it on a thursday and a friday and then I started bleeding on tuesday really heavily. But you dont think that its wrong?

You almost bled to death?? Your period is likely to be slightly heavier after taking the morning after pill. I know there are many people who call it the abortion pill but in my opinion its not. I don't think its wrong to take it. You are saving yourself an unwanted pregnancy. However my views on abortion are quite different. I do not agree with abortion at all

Me neither.. I absolutely do not believe in it at all.. Yeah I did almost bleed to death. I already had my period the weekend before, when I took it I was on my last day of my period. Then 5 days later I was bleeding again.

Have I been living under a rock? I didnt know anything about this... Well I think that I have heard of it, but I thought it was a pill that only doctors had to give you...Wow, I am shocked...

Lol, stacie. Well, its called the morning after pill & basically, u take it within 72hrs of unprotected sex to stop implantation.Its very effective if u have it within 24hrs and much less if it's within 72hrs.I wud in no way describe it as a aboriotn drug cos if it was, wouldnt have taken it.
Casey-theres gotta b something wrong cos ive herd some bleedings normal (i didnt have any) but almosyt bleeding to death? Tha cant b ri9ght
look after urself & get it checked out if u feel worse

Nikki,

I got them from planned parenthood. I will never take them again. I bleed real easily and the nurse that gave it to me said that they never heard of bleeding as a side effect. Maybe she should read up on it a lil more yano?
