ANSWER: Hello Sana,

I don't recommend cytotec pills on your own, it's very dangerous. I'm very concerned about you and what you are describing. If you are bleeding excessively, you will have to find a doctor. It's not worth dying over. What would happen if a doctor or anyone found out you had tried to do an abortion? Do you have anyone to talk to? Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and I will try to talk more. Perhaps I can connect you with resources if you tell me where you live. I am not a medical doctor.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl

QUESTION: I'm not bleeding excessively... its just very little but more of brownish discharge. I'm keeping my diet full of fruits and healthy food so that i don't get weak or anemic. i have my sister in law to talk to and my fiance. no one else knows about all of this. i also mailed you by the name Sana Butt at your e-mail id.

Answer
Ok, I will look for your email. I would recommend abstaining from sex for a time or until you are married. I don't understand the customs of your country but don't know what country you are in. What else do you plan to do at this point? You might try http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp
to see if there is a center in your area. I'll talk to you soon by email.
