Abortion/Abortion-6th

Expert: - 1/15/2008


Question
I am 2-4 weeks along. I am considering the abortion pill method. I have two concerns before making the decision. A. What are the chances of my ability to have children in the future being that this is my 6th abortion over a period of 10 years? B.What are the risks/disadvantages of the abortion pill?

Answer
Dear Julie,
The aboriton pill method is very safe, and is 100% safe for future pregnancies.  The wonderful thing about nonsurgical abortion methods (the abortion pill and the aspiration procedure) is that they do not interrupt the lining of the uterus, so make it completely safe for future pregnancies.  It does not matter how many you have had.  You may want to review the advantages and disadvantages of the pill in my websites: earlyabortion.com and earlyabortionoptions.com.  You may also want to go to earlyoptionpill.com - the website of the manufacturer of the abortion pill.  Overall, I highly endorse the method.
I hope this is helpful,
Doctor Joan
