Questions and Answers

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I took misoprostol to induce an abortion but nothing happened, why? This week I'm going to a clinic to have an abortion done, it will be done with ru-486 procedure which includes misoprostol and I'm afraid it won't work

Maegan G replied: "Don't get an abortion, you baby killer. You should have thought about the consequences before having sex."

Nancy Lou replied: "Well, maybe god wanted it to be that way. Stop and think about it. Having an abortion is like murder. I don't believe in it unless you have been raped or something terrible could happen to you or the baby. Obortions are painful, so be ready. Please choose the right action."

Carmela Jasmin replied: "You were a baby once :("

Heather Y replied: "I think that while you may currently be pregnant, this is the wrong category to post this question in. These women are trying to, or are already pregnant and happy about it. You're really asking a medical question, so that would be the proper category for your question. read more about ru486 here"

~Proud*Mommy~ replied: "I know that sometimes pregnancy can be scary especially if it wasn't planned trust me I am going through that now I have a 7 month old and I am pregnant again they will be 1 year apart but think about what you are doing. That is a baby inside of you and he or she deserves a life if you choose not to keep it there is always adoption let that baby and a couple who maybe can't have kids raise he or she"

BROWN-EYED BEAUTY replied: "Maybe God is trying to tell you that the baby has a purpose and you shouldn't kill it.... Abortion is murder, my reasoning.... if you hurt a pregnant woman and cause her to miscarry the least of the charge will be manslaughter the most 1st degree murder of an unborn child... Abortion is no different!!!!! Give this baby a chance"

momto3 replied: "People don't want to know you are having an abortion! It ANGERS a lot of people. Especially here in this forum where mothers are sharing questions about conceiving, giving birth, and taking care of their little ones. I AM A PRO-LIFER!!! If you are still set on getting this abortion, which it has appeared you are - then the only props I can give to you is the fact that you aren't waiting and you've decided this very early on!"

jello044 replied: "because you are MEANT to have this baby."

tangyterp83 replied: "Since its so early in the pregnancy a medicated abortion should work well enough. Its not 100%...meaning in most cases it will successfully terminate the pregnancy, but you may have to go back and get the "excess material" removed. The medication may not have flushed everything out. A surgical abortion is definitely effective in terminating the pregnancy, and the risk factors are about the same, but in terms of future family planning medicated abortions are better for you (if you plan on having kids later). Please ignore all the rude comments from other posts...they are just ignorant and judgemental!"

iampatsajak replied: "Misoprostol is effective avout 65-93% of the time, depending on how far along you are. Because misoprostol has likely already rendered your child brain damaged, I would suggest you request a surgical abortion. The secondary drug in the ru-486 procedure is equally as ineffective."

fizzents replied: "Do what you feel is best for yourself and your future. Many people don't fully understand the resulting aftermath of having an unwanted child. Even if you put the baby up for adoption there is no guarantee that the child will go to a good home and you will always wonder about it. I dare anyone who answered so rudely to try and have a baby and then give it up for adoption or worse yet keep the baby while you are young and don't even have much of a future planned for yourself, let alone a baby. Don't worry about the abortion, I am sure the clinic will do their best to make sure you are healthy and well after all has been said and done. PS. Don't post abortion questions on this site, people who respond don't fully understand both sides of the argument and will impose their nasty and one sided view point aimed at hurting your feelings. 18 years ago my best friend in school had a baby when she was 16 and her life is ruined - she now works in a Rite Aid store and has since had 3 more kids that she can't afford to support. She was a fantastic student and had a bright future until she had to leave high school to go and find a job to support her baby."

kissamoose217 replied: "As someone who had an abortion, and someone who was raised believeing they were wrong, I hear you. Abortions are scary things to have happen. And before i have some pro-lifer reaming me out, I dont usually agree with abortion, and i definitely always said i wouldnt have one myself. But, while even on the pill, i got pregnant. And it was not the right time for me to have a child. My boyfriend and i sat down, took a serious look at our living expenses, and our lives, and decided we simply were not ready. Its not that i was being irresponsible, it simply happened. I went and had the abortion, and honestly, i cried during the whole thing. Not from pain, but from guilt. I feel like hell. But, i know it is the best choice. No child would have a good life the way my life is right now, and I refuse to put my child up for adoption, there are too many children in limbo in adoptions centers right now. Point is: While you're at the clinic, talk to the people there about your fears. They will help you decide what is the best choice of abortion for you. And yes, vaccuum abortion hurts. It hurts bad, and the cramping sucks too. But i was okay with just a small amount of lidocain and a muscle relaxer. Dont worry about what others will think of you. This is your body and your choice. I did what i had to, and i will not be made to feel badly by others due to it. I WAS thinking about the consequences, and i WAS being responsible. Sometimes, things just happen. And you have to roll with the punches. Good Luck, and GOD BLESS!!! (because if you want to look at it that way, god will forgive anyone who wants forgiveness, so dont worry about that either!)"

krissy replied: "Sorry about all the inconsiderate people on here. Shame on all of you, like her life doesn't suck enough right now she does not need people calling her names. Do any of you know a single thing about her???? Was she a virgin and there for not on BC when she got RAPED. Think about stuff like that before you start putting people down. This should be a supportive place. I am sorry, I wish you the best. I am sorry. For more information on ru-486 and other abortion issues I would recommend and They are good sites that will give you good medical info on abortion. Again I wish you the best and if possible try to prevent further unwanted pregnancies, I don't know your situation and I will not judge you. Jesus please forgive those who have judged her, for they know not what they do."

cbrandi199 replied: "I am not sure the correct answer to this but I just has to say something. I can't believe all of the people that had such mean things to say. Someone said up above that this isn't the best category to post this in, which it isn't But still GROW UP people! If you are concerned why not call your doctor and address the situation with him, if you aren't ready for a child I don't think that you should have one. Many people just do it anyway and there child(ren) don't relieve all of the attention ect. that they deserve. Best of luck toyou!"

Squiddy replied: "That baby was meant to be here on Earth, and that is why it probably didn't work, you should think twice about aborting the baby, and give it up for adoption instead. I always say things happen for a reason, so be careful when making your choices."

what a sweet heart replied: "I just want you to know that your baby already has a beating heart."

justme replied: "IT'S YOUR PROBLEM SO KEEP THE CHILD! & you know why it didn't work? Because it's meant to be!"

Misty replied: "I just want to extend my support to you. Please disregard all of the extremely rude and insensitive people here. Please visit this website to gain more information. The misoprostol cannot be taken alone to end a pregnancy. This drug only softens the cervix and causes the uterus to contract and empty. You need either mifepristone or methotrexate (which is the RU-486) before hand to actually end the pregnancy. A medication abortion is between 9297 percent effective. Within two weeks you will have a checkup to make sure that the procedure worked, that you are no longer pregnant and that your uterus is empty. If not than you will have to have a D&C done. Hope that helps. Feel free to email me if you need to talk or have any further questions. Do not feel guilty and do not let others make you feel guilty. You will most likely experience some grief, deal with these feeling, but don't let them overtake you. It never hurts to seek counseling. This is a very hard decision that most people simply don't understand. I hope the information helps. Best wishes and take care."

*Bumble Bear* replied: "there have been cases where women have used these pills to have an abortion and they didnt work..a couple women have taken this drug 3 times and the abortion never happened and they gave birth to there baby....there is a reason it isnt working..your baby is trying to fight this drug and trying to stay alive..its pitiful! what u are doing is ruining your babys fight for life..this is your baby and he/she needs u right now to care for him/her...adoption is free why not go for that? your baby is strong and a survivor!!!! God is making this happen,listen to him this 1 time at least....."

chik620 replied: "First and foremost i am not going to say what your doing is right or wrong. Its a choice that alot of women make everyday. I will say that i went through the adoption process and its not all crap as some people say on here. I got to choose the family that my son went to go live his life with. I met them while i was still pregnant, got to know them, and that made my descion a heck of alot easier. Alright that being said, alot of abortion procedures are safe and successful with the odd one or two not being so successful. Have a look at the clinic you are going to and speak to the doctor that is going to perform the procedure. Let them know of your fears and doubts. The doctor shouldnt push you to have one yet should fully inform you of the decsion your about to make. Let you know all the risks and side affects. Also please get some councelling after this abortion. Alot of times women talk themselves into doing it when in fact they truly dont want to. Talking to someone you trust will help with your decsion."

crystalearthwitch replied: "I think you are very brave coming on to a site and express that you are going to have an abortion, i have 7 children and i have had 7 miscarriages, but that doesn't me the right to judge nor should anyone else, what is better a baby that is not wanted or an abortion and that baby's soul has a chance to come back at a later date or now to someone that wants it, try not to think about it as murder when we die our soul doesn't it just leaves the body, as the last post said if you have any concerns at all then just tell them, but one thing i must ask is the pill taking necessary because all that will do is bring on an abortion and basically you have to go through a miscarriage, you still have a d and c afterwards to remove anthing left behind, me personally i would go in have the operation and then get on with your life, it will be hard as it is why put yourself through more pain than you need, why punish yourself, are you worried about it not working because you dont really want the abortion or because you have to just sit around and wait, not necessary deal with it asap, have the abortion or dont but dont put yourself through any unnecessary as last post said it is really painful anyway, take care and be safe"

Sheila T replied: "You might want to talk to the doctors at the clinic before deciding on a procedure. It's entirely possible that it's still too early to have a surgical procedure done (most practitioners will not perform them prior to 12 weeks), but if chemically induced has not worked as of yet (normally, we see them work in a matter of days) this may be the method that will work better for you. As for the amount of negativity that has come across on your question, abortion is a difficult thing to do. I am glad that you have made a decision, and there are many support groups available to help you if you have any kind of psychological issues afterwards. Seek them out if necessary. Don't be afraid of them. There are a lot of people who have trod the same path at one point or another during the course of their lives."

monkey_kins replied: "A lot of these women are right in what they say about it being wrong, but that doesn't mean I agree with how they present their opinion. I think people are responsible for everything that they do, it's not unrealistic, it's the truth. If you aren't in the position to have a baby or don't want a baby, please take the precautions to make sure you don't concieve becuase nobody knows what level of consciousness a baby has and how soon it gets it. Essentialy you are killing someone and why? Becuase you didn't make the right decisions? Becuase you didn't think you needed to care? It's just not right. I'm not going to judge your personal case, becuase in some cases where women choose abortion is becuase they have been raped, and I hope that hasn't happened to you. But please don't do this again if this was all a concious decision. Some women have multiple abortions becuase they're too uneducated or ignorantly hard headed and just do what they want becuase they can. This is hard on your body as well, some women have trouble concieving after abortions. If it doesn't work, consider yourself lucky and that everything happens for a reason that you might not understand at this point in time, but love the child and raise him/her to be a beautiful and good person and you'll see later what it was all for. I'm not going to say "oh it's becuase of god" because I'm not religious, but if you are, apply this to your faith and you may find your answers there."

sweetascandi replied: "SHAME ON YOU, i hope god punishes you for doing a really BAD thing, you are taking a life away you have no right,it is not your decision at all...you should of think about the consequences before opening your god damn legs!!!!!!!!!:("

facts10 replied: "Misoprostol does not always kill the baby and does not always cause birth defects. In fact, it is sometimes used to induce labor in women who are 9 months pregnant! Your womb is designed to protect your baby, and it sounds like in this case it did. Please keep your baby safe. God has given you another chance to do the right thing and let your baby live. It is the only moral thing to do at this point. If you'd like, you can go to a crisis pregnancy center (see links below), where they will be able to arrange for you to have an ultrasound to make sure your baby is okay. Are you aware that at least 11 women have died from RU-486 abortions? Here are the details: At six weeks, your baby has a beating heart, recordable brain waves, and tiny fingers. Here is information about her development and photos of what she looks like right now: And here's more information you need to see: Photos and Video of Abortions, Including 1st Trimester Abortions: Abortion Risks: Abortion Deaths: Free, Confidential Pregnancy Help (including referrals for financial, medical, legal, and housing assistance; free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds; free maternity and baby supplies; pregnancy, parenting, and adoption information; counseling and emotional support): (US) (worldwide) Do the right thing.

Louise C replied: "I'am at the same stage yet still deciding what to do I'm 21yrs, as far as im concerned some of the spitefull people here are veiwing your story one sided! they all want and have planned and are happy to have a child, where as we are scared, unsure and worried for the out come! I cant give too much advise as i haven't been through this but i would say ignore people like PCDGirl! She should be banned! the others are contents and happy, you need to do what you think is right for you and your situation if its the wrong time and your not ready thats fine you've made you choice! just get advise of the Drs and Nurses they'll know best! Don't let anyone change you mind or pressure you into doing anything! YOUR LIFE, YOUR CHOICE YOUR BED TO LYING! As far as some are concerned on this site! Are you tapped in the head! Do you seriously think people are out to get pregnant and then have an abortion!! Your mad! it's either a complete accident or in SOME cases foolish! but other than that you cannot tell a person to "If you dont want to get pregnant dont have sex" ACCIDENTS HAPPEN PEOPLE!!!!!"

I understand chemical abortions i am 3 weeks pregnant and took the Mifeprex. Must i take the Misoprostol? I have been reading the paperwork and it says come back in TWO days and get a sonogram to make sure the pregnancy is terminated. However, the doctor today only gave me half of the Mifeprex that the normal woman get for abortions and he told me to take the 10 tablets of Misoprostal on day 3. Today at my appointment I had a sonogram and i wasn't even quite three weeks pregnant. I have not even a heartbeat. The group of cells wasn't attaching. What are my chances of not having to take the misoprostal? The side effects are really bad and I am not one to take prescription medications unnecessarily. I know I knew of all the facts when I went to get the abortion. But I didn't realize the paper and the doctor were condescending each other as he spoke. Is there any possibility I will not have to use this 2nd harsh chemical in my body? Is it worth going over there in 2 days and getting the check up. I just have a firm belief that the drug reps are selling the drug as a combo and the doctor see's it as an easy 440$.

charlie_gurl replied: "i dont know about the drugs cause they are not legal in australia but just cause there is no heart beat means nothing, a fetus doesn't have a heart beat til 5 or 6 weeks"

Maureen replied: "Why would you get a chemical abortion if you're so anti-prescription drugs? Just take the rest of the misoprostal and get it over with. You usually can't detect a heartbeat this early in a regular pregnancy."

What is recovery time after taking Cytotec/Misoprostol for a missed miscarriage? I lost my little one Thursday at 9 weeks pregnant (no heartbeat) and was given Cytotec/Misoprostol yesterday to induce miscarriage since my cervix hadn't opened yet. I couldn't bear the idea of waiting for my body to naturally expel it. I took the meds last night and passed my little baby and the placenta this morning. Aside from being emotionally scarred, I am now wondering what I should expect for recovery time and recovery symptoms. Can anyone tell me about their experience?

prettyloubob replied: "i don't know your answer but.. i am so sorry for your loss. i will pray for you and your healing and hope you have a better outcome next time."

jessica r replied: "First I am sorry for your loss. It happened to me too. I lost all feeling I was pregnant at 9 weeks and went to the doctor and confirmed there was no heartbeat. I also took Cytotec and had the miss the next day. I was up and about a day later bled for 2 weeks and that was it physically but emotionally i was very upset, then 4 months later I got pregnant again and the same thing happened but this time I expelled it naturally. Now 4 months later I am pregnant in my 11 week saw a strong heartbeat and saw the baby moving around so I am hopeful everything will be okay. I am wishing the same to you that you will be fine and you will have a healthy baby very soon. Good luck"

i only took half of the misoprostol abortion pill and i haven't gone to the doctor yet? okay so my boyfrined wanted me to get an abortion and to ensure that i took the pill he watched me take the pill but i only took half of the misoprostol and i didn't take the mifepristone so i'm just wondering if i'm still pregnant i've had a change of heart now and i really want my baby i'm still taking prenatal vitamins

Samantha replied: "OMG, dump your boyfriend NOW! Why are you listening to that a**hole anyways? He told you to murder your own flesh and blood. And go to the hospital. They will give you an ultrasound, and see how the baby is doing. I don't know how deadly half a pill is but you need to go and get checked. Shame on you for wanting to kill it in the 1st place, but if you really want it now, you need to see someone and see how the baby is doing."

Angel s replied: "Well you shouldn't have even gotten the pill just because your boyfriend wanted you to. That was not very smart. And because you took half, you may not abort but you may have caused serious problems for your baby. You need to go see a doctor asap if you want to keep this baby to see if there was any harm done and if you need to go through with the abortion. Abortion is a serious decision for YOU to make and no one else. Please don't let another person make this decision for you again. PS what do you mean he watched you to ensure that you took it? Who does he think he is? Why did you put up with that?"

Mia & Abe baby AJ due May 26th replied: "dump the ahole and go to the doctor"

Angie replied: "as far as i know the first pill loosens things and the second expells the early pregnancy fetus. If you havent taken the second, and do not wish to go through with it consult your doctor for advice, i think you would be put on very high risk for the time being considering you took the first pill, it would be a case of 50-50 on which way it went but rest up would be great advice and dont delay, phone the midwife unit and ask for advice now!"

ms holli replied: "from what I understand the one you took is suppose to cause uterine contractions and the expulsion of the dead fetus, if you didnt take the other one, which was suppose to come first, and you havent started bleeding then you may still have a chance, you will need to go to the docs though and have an u/s, you need to stand up for yourself, if you couldnt stand up this one time for something huge, are you sure your cut out for parenting? you need to be an advocate for your child from the start"

janewench60 replied: "tell your boyfriend to get lost he is not worth staying with and get your self to the hospital to check on baby is ok"

31wks w/ baby girl #3 replied: "Man. I don't even know what to say. I would suggest calling the doctor immediately. Who knows what affect this has on your baby. How the hell did you get the abortion pill? Here I believe you take it at the clinic and are not allowed to leave right away. Anyway he sounds like quite the controlling douche bag. Whatever the result (I wish you the best) you need to dump this boy because you are in an extemely abusive relationship."

EC replied: "PLEASE get in touch immediately with Birthright They will help you for free and can get you and your child medical attention. I pray, pray your baby is still alive so you can carry through on your change of heart. Please, get help right away, and if your baby is there, cherish that little thing and never let go, not for anyone or for any reason. IF your child has really died, then there is help for you to deal with your grief: And if your child has not died yet but is in trouble, leave the poor thing alone and let nature takes its course. Don't follow through with the abortion; you've contributed already. Don't finish it off; leave that child's fate in God's hands and don't hurt him or her anymore. I'm praying for you hard, that God will save your child and give you another chance. E-mail me if you need support, okay?"

angeldust_599 replied: "I would go to your doctor and find out what effects it could have had. If you didnt want an abortion then you should have stood your ground and not taken any pills at all. Pills are nothing something to fool around with when your not pregnant no bother when you are"

Jodie b replied: "Im sorry to say when misoprostol is taken, it causes the expulsion of the fetus and associated matter in approximately 92% of the cases. If you would have taken half of the other one then your chances would be much higher of not working. But you may be in the 8% Take care Jodie xx"

AVH replied: "Misoprostol is a medication used to terminate a pregnancy by starting labor. It is more effective when used in combination with methotrexate or mifepristone than when used alone. So depending on what dosage of the misoprostal you took, you may or may not experience the result of the misoprostol by starting to have uterine contractions. You will know if the pregnancy terminates because you will have a lot of vaginal discharge as a result of the uterine contractions. It is important for you to know that misoprostal has been associated with birth defects in pregnant women so now that you have exposed the pregnancy to it, there could be concerns for the baby because of having taken that medicine. Losing a pregnancy for any reason is difficult to deal with and you should make sure you have a good support system-- your boyfriend sounds like he is not very empathetic, so make sure that there are others you can go to for support during this time. Being that you were so easily coerced to terminate a pregnancy and then change your mind about it, you really should consider waiting to have children until you are more emotionally mature and stable. It takes time, but being a parent means a great deal of responsibility and maturity on a lot of levels. Good luck with everything and be strong~ Learn from this so you can plan ahead next time!!"

nightynightnurse replied: "If you took half of the misoprostol, you may as well take the other half along with the mifepristone as well, Your fetus is most likely either severely damaged or dead after taking the medication. To not finish with the abortion is setting yourself up for some major medical emergencies, hemorrhage and infection being the two that pop into my mind immediately, both of which could either kill you or make you unable to have children when you are ready to have them."

Ending a pregnancy with Misoprostol? I am 22 weeks pregnant. We just found out my son has many fatal abnormalities and so my doctor has me taking misoprostol for the next few days to induce labor to end the pregnancy. This is my first pregnancy so I have no idea when I should go to the hospital, or if it even works the same with a baby this young. I am having period like cramping and contractions every now and then, but the way my doctor put it, I will just "know." Well does anyone have any more specific advice or anything? I'm just nervous. Thanks.

deewat *its a girl!* replied: "i am so sorry oh my gosh i am so sorry......i dont have any advice but im so sorry"

savannah p replied: "idk.. ive never heard of that. im so sorry, it must be hard. what are fatal abnormalities? i wish your doctor would have given you more information on it. more clearly at least."

vampire_kitti replied: "she needs to go see a doctor ASAP. she may have caused major damage to the fetus."

Choppy123 replied: "She really shouldn't have done that. Do you know that the baby is going to have a very difficult time dealing with that drug now. What kind of torture! She should go see a doctor and tell him what she's done. Poor baby! If he or she makes it into this world....will prob. have health issues now. and also a parent that doesn't want it. What is this world coming to?!"

kasthy replied: "Join her to the doctor, to make sure the baby is still safe and is living. If the baby lives, tell her to stop taking those pills if she really wants this baby. Otherwise the baby might be born with severe malformations or disease. Go for a check first!"

BabyGirl replied: "When you take the morning after pill. That usually means you do what it says. Take it the morning after you have had sex if you think there is a chance of pregnancy. It is usually only given to rape victims. If she didn't want to have children then, why did she have unprotected sex. Tell her to get over it. She's going to be a mom and have to take care of it. Unless, she wants to do the responsible thing and give it up for adoption if she doesn't think she's going to be ready for it."

I am having trouble getting pregnant after birth control pills & a blighted ovum. Has anyone else had this? I was on birth control pills for 8 years. It took 4 months for me to get my period when I went off them. I got pregnant immediately, just to find after 2 months of being pregnant I had a blighted ovum. My doc had me take Misoprostol instead of a d&c. I have been trying to get pregnant since then ( a few months). I have been using a fertility monitor which last month I consummated on peak days, and I still did not get pregnant. This month my monitor has said my hormone levels have been low the whole time, they never went up enough to ovulate. I'm getting scared that there is something wrong with me or my body is out of whack. I've heard its easy to get prg after a miscarriage, but it has not been for me. Has anyone had a similar situation? When do you start to consider fertility treatments?

christy replied: "I had a blighted ovum and it took me about 6 months to get pregnant with another miscarriage.. I am now pregnant again but It looks another miscarraige my hcg levels are super low 26 and then down to 25. All we can really do is leave it up to god. I did have 1 son against the odds Every single doctor said I was having a miscarraige and bleed wayy to much... so I say the creator of this universe has control of everything.. lets just leave it up to him."

Why isn't Misoprostol alone more well-known as an option for abortion? I recently found myself pregnant despite using condoms every time. I guess these things happen. Anyway, it was more than a week before my period was due so I decided to really research my options (having another child isn't an option for us right now for various reasons). I found out that women in countries where abortion is illegal take misoprostol, a stomach ulcer drug to induce a miscarriage. I thought, what the heck and gave it a shot. I bought some of it off of the internet for $40 and I can't believe how effective it was. I took them as directed on and it worked. I waited until the following day to make an appt. with my regular gyno (who is covered by my insurance) and everything went really well. I saved $300 and was spared an emotionally trying experience at an abortion clinic with Misoprostol. I just wonder why more people aren't aware of this option? Especially if you have a dr. you trust to follow up with rather than some abortion dr. you dont even know Before you guys get all preachy, take a moment to look up statistics of misprostol only abortions. It's no more dangerous than having an actual miscarriage. There are no cases involving overdose and the only deaths where misoprostol was involved were for sepsis, an infection that could be cause during any miscarriage or abortion. I'm not saying this is a great option unless you have a plan to get checked by a doctor afterwards to make sure you're okay. But from what I understand when you go to get a "medical" abortion you are sent home with these exact pills (and RU486 which is not key to starting the miscarriage) to do it without direct doctor supervision anyway. Then you go back to the doctor for a follow up visit. This is the same thing minus the abortion clinic and hefty payment.

meh replied: "I see where you're coming from, but I also understand why people would have reservations about promoting "do-it-yourself" medical abortions. Fortunately, in my experience, insurance covered my medical abortion, so I paid only $15 for treatment at a clinic. (Some states/insurers are more progressive than others, clearly!) The appointment took a long time, that's for sure, but I wouldn't say it (the clinic visit itself) was particularly "emotionally trying." There are plenty of good reasons for going to a clinic: blood testing, ultrasound (important for determining gestation and detecting [potentially severely dangerous] ectopic pregnancy), counseling, mandatory follow-up care to make sure the abortion is complete. Clinics also make an effort to make sure the woman is not being coerced to have an abortion. If a woman lacks health coverage and can't afford to pay the full amount for an abortion, she probably can't afford (and won't seek) follow-up care after an abortion, either. Many clinics do offer some sort of payment plan and/or funds to help needy women. Regarding the drug combination--Mifepristone and Misoprostol (aka RU-486)--the website you referenced indicates a higher effectiveness rate when both drugs are used. I understand your frustration with our flawed healthcare system, and I'm all for women taking charge of their fertility and their health, but there's one more reason why I would not promote (wholesale, at least) women taking Misoprostol independently: in the U.S., elective abortion is legal into the second trimester, and I believe we should all exercise our right to safe, professional medical care. We would do ourselves a greater service by advocating for increased insurance coverage of and access to abortion, rather than pushing abortion underground. Otherwise, it seems to me that we're taking a step back towards the infamous coat-hanger days."

What pain killers can i take while on Misoprostol (abortion)pills? I found out a couple weeks ago I became pregnant turned to the Misoprostol pills (abortion pills) as a a solution. I took the pills and the first day, I had the worst cramping experience of my life! and heavy bleeding. i called my boyfriend to ask if it was alright i take some midol or some kind of pain killer for the pain but he said i couldnt? (i asked him because he got them from a doctor in china) The pain is unbearable. My back is killing me and i feel so bad. I was wondering if there is a pill i can take while on these pills tothe relieve the pain and if there is, is there any side effects?

Atta Girl replied: "Sweetheart, call your local Planned Parenthood immediately, and be completely up-front with them. If you are not in the United States, seek a reputable clinic in your area. They are there to help you. They can check whether or not your abortion was completed properly, and help you with any problems. See for more information."

Having a Daddy's Girl Soon!! replied: "What exactly is misoprostol? It obviously doesnt sound good or you wouldnt be saying please dont judge me i want my baby now.. and do you have a doctor? My suggestion is to talk to him. And honestly i cant understand your question that much because of your spelling.. EDIT: ok i just looked it up.. its used for inducing? why on earth would you take that at 1 month of pregnancy? "

Donna replied: "If the scans are showing normal growth and the doctors aren't concerned then try not to worry. Best of luck with everything, sounds like your baby is a fighter, i am a big believer in fate. Everything happens for a reason x"

b replied: "i wish i could help, but i am not sure what misoprostol is. let me look it up...........ok if i am right......are u trying to induce ur own labor????? AT 23 WEEKS? WTF? ok now that i know wtf u are talking about u are crazy. that baby is already formed. why not just wait and have it and give it up? actually, i am asking u to please.........just let it grow and give it up. at 21 weeks the babies feel pain. ur gonna hurt that innocent baby? not to mention u will never forget this? GIVE IT UP FOR ADOPTION!!!"

steve h replied: "you swallowed it ,yicks."

Betty replied: "Here is what I have learned: - Misoprostol is one of the drugs used for medical abortions. - After mifepristone is taken orally, misoprostol is taken 2472 hours later causing the expulsion of the fetus and associated matter in approximately 92% of the cases. No large studies have established a protocol for the use of misoprostol alone,[8] and the range of efficacy is 65%93% depending on sample size, gestational age, and other test variables;[9] Misoprostol alone may be more effective in earlier gestation.[10] - Misoprostol should not be taken by pregnant women to reduce the risk of NSAID-induced gastric ulcers because it increases uterine tone and contractions in pregnancy which may cause partial or complete abortions, and because its use in pregnancy has been associated with birth defects. My thoughts: You get this stuff on the black market, so I am guessing you were scared to have this baby and didn't want anyone to find out, hoping that you could abort it yourself. I think it's terrible on so many levels and can't imagine what you've been through. I wish you could have seen from the beginning that this is actually a blessing and nothing to be ashamed of. If you can not afford to have a child, you have other options - just give this life a chance! If the baby has made it through all of this abuse, it's sure going to be strong - and it's telling you this is meant to be. I pray that your child does not suffer phyically or mentally from all of this. I suggest from now on you change your lifestyle around, eat healthy, exercise, keep your mind, body, and spirit cleansed..... You can do this and you have been given a second chance."
