help ! the morning after pill

[jelly baby]

hey everyone.
i took the morning after pill on thursday night as i had missed a few of my pills this month and my bf wanted 2 b extra carful and so did i! but nearly 2 days later i still feel horrible. On thursday night (after taking the pill) i woke up feeling really sick and with a huge belly ack and got up and went to the tolet and i had diarrhoea ! im not sure what the time was but it may have been a few hours after takin it but might not hav been. sence then iv been feeling sick, my tummy is sore but that comes and gos and i still have diarrhoea im a little worried as i hav read it is uncommon for women to have any side effects never mind 3 of them and them lasting 2 days.
What do you think is rong and wot should i do ? :s
thanks for your help every1 !!!

Hun, if you're worried go to the docs. I took the morning after pill last month (indecisive OH, long story...) and didn't have any side effects like that...it could be a bug or something completely unrelated. Otherwise it could be a bad reaction to the pill and I'd probably go to the docs anyway. Were you actually sick (only ask as it could effect the effectiveness of the pill...)

The side effects can last a few days sometimes, but to me that sounds more like a tummy bug or something..

Drink plenty of water and get down to the docs if you don't feel any better.

Umm I dunno about rushing to the toilet but I know it took me a few days to stop throwing my guts up after I took it a few years ago!

in my rebellious teenage years i took the morning after pill a few times and was violently sick so i had to have anti sickness tablets, when i took it not that long after knowing the effect i asked for some sickness tablets and the docs told me they are diff to before and shouldnt have that side effect anymore...i took it with out sickness tablets and she was right no sickness... id def ring docs to discuss it because above all else there is a risk it wont have worked due to your diarrhoea

good luck and hope your feeling better soon

When did you have unprotected sex? I was just wondering as you say you've missed a few pills this month, what day are you on? It just sounds like you got a naff Pharmacist, as they'd usually tell you to do a preg test first if you have had an odd period etc (on this note are you worried you'd fallen pregnant before you took the pill??) I dunno if this could make you experience such side effects, I just find it odd that people do react that badly to it, I just have horrid emotional reactions to it but I have a sensitive digestive system so...hmm! Just weird.

Do you know if it was Levonelle? (The name of the pill?..) Just wondering as that's the one I have had and I've just read that there are others which are less tolerable by peoples sometimes..

Personally I'd still just wonder if it was a bug as it's sickness & diarreoh and wiki just seems to say sickness and rarely vomiting as side effects. (Not much you can do in either case really, apart from get anti-sickness stuffs, I'm really just diagnosing (habit..) )

Oh! Also, just to let you know, I experienced really bad symptoms (in the form of emotional - over sensitive, grouchy etc etc) on the day and they seemed to disappear completely a couple of days later... It obviously depends on the person and the pill...and the side effects... So if it does continue for a few more days or something... And don't get dehydrated!

Also if it was Levonelle, then anti-sickness things are not recommend. 'pparently.

P.S Sorry for going on... I have time on my hands & used to work in a Pharmacy.

Kk, was just wondering. I'm still shocked about how some people experience these sorts of side effects and I don't! It's just strange how people react so differently to the same thing!

Well hopefully your body will all settle down soon!

I'm going to go and sit in a corner as I've had way too much caffeine today.

I wouldn't worry too much then, just go see pharmacist or doctor if it gets worse/doesn't ease off.

I took the morning after pill twice when I was younger when I had accidents and had no side-effects whatsoever and then I got it in September last year (the month before I actually got pregnant) and suffered really badly with it for 2 weeks. I was a complete wreck emotionally, felt nauseous, had headaches, had period pains, I actually thought I had to be pregnant and it hadn't worked but I think it's because they've made it one tablet now instead of 2 so it's a stronger hit of hormones. I googled for ages and found all the stupid statistics but on the forums it's a different story and a lot of the stories fitted with mine and sure enough I was fine after.

Hope you're OK and the doctors trip went well.

Hey. I have had a similiar reaction to you. Violently sick about 10 hours after taking levonelle. And then feeling very unwell the next day. 5 days later I still don't feel 'normal' I took it once as a teenager and had no side effects. Hope all clears up for you.xx

hmmm i hope you get it sorted!

I took it and didnt have any side effects x
