Question
I TOOK THE ABORTION PILL AT 5 1/2 WEEKS PREGNANT NOW 2 MONTHS LATER I HAVE BEEN MONITORING MY CYCLE AND I AM HAVING BLEEDING TWICE A MONTH FOR 10 DAYS AT A TIME...I HAVE HAD 4 PERIODS IN 2 MONTHS IS HOW IT APPEARS.. MY ADVICE NURSE SAID I WILL PROBABLY NEED A D & C WHICH I AM AFRAID OF. WILL THIS EFFECT ME HAVING CHILDREN IN THE FUTURE? DO I REALLY NEED A D & C , AND ARE THEIR OTHER OPTIONS TO GET MY CYCLE BACK TO NORMAL?

Answer
Hi T,

Thanks for your question. I'm not a doctor but in my opinion, you should seek another medical advice from a professional. The abortion pill is not safe but it is too late for me to tell you that except for the future. The nurse must be saying that they think something went wrong with the abortion. I can't tell you if you need a d&C but like I said, please seek a second medical opinion. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
