Hello my name is Veronica and I am a regular on dating a military man board. I thought I would drop by and give you ladies a possible side effect that is not in the information packet that you get in the box, that happened to me the other night. I have to use nonhormonal birth control do to some health issues. While using the product called Today's Sponge broke in half while having intercourse. I had half on each side of my cervix and the removal cord rubbing against it. I called the company to complain and they told me that if I became pregnant because I didn't leave it in the full 8 hours( I had to take it out after 10 minutes cause it was causing me pain) that it is my fault. I called the company that manufactors it and they told me the same thing and that the FDA only allows them to print certain information about the product. I thought that I would share this with you all so that you don't have to go threw the same problems that I have. I DON'T RECEMEND THIS PRODUCT.

Jill,
Thank you for the information about EC. But I have talk to my doctor and I am unable to use it because I am unable to use anything hormonal, do to some of my health issues. But I will keep you posted on everything that goes on.
