AboutPat G Expertise I can help women with the consideration of their decision, and with resources, and I can share my own experiences as the mother of seven and grandmother of six. My approach is to show love and concern, and help women work through the issues, emotional, spiritual, practical. I also help women deal with boyfriend and family issues.
Experience I have been working with women who are considering abortion for several years. I also work with women who have had abortions. Our family has also experienced adoption, so I can talk about that as well.
Education/Credentials I am mostly self-taught. I also studied midwifery for awhile. I have spent years doing research on this topic. In fact, I have been doing research and working in this area since the early 1970's. I have been helping women online for a few years, under the guidance of a woman who was formally training in counseling.
Expert: Pat G Date: 5/6/2008 Subject: MT PILL IS SAFE AFTER 8 WEEK
Question Dear Doctor,
I am 26 years old and had been pregnant for 8 weeks upon consultation with the doctor for termination; the doctor gave me MTPILL to take 3 orally for the other different medicine dose to take vaginally (if not starting the bleeding). After 8 week MTPILL is safe or I need to do the scanning after the Medicine or I want to take any other precaution for abortion.
Answer Hi, Shahin,
Just so you know, I am not a doctor. But I have studied this for many years.
The MTpill will only work up to 49 days. That's seven weeks, maximum. And the closer to 49 days a woman gets, the less likely it is to work. If it doesn't work, they have to do a surgical abortion anyway. There is no point in even trying it at eight weeks.
Whatever you do, do NOT take the dose vaginally! It is VERY dangerous. It can cause toxic shock syndrome, which could kill you within hours.
This doctor sounds like he doesn't care about your health and safety. PLEASE find someone else.
