Abortion/hormones

Question
Hi I was wondering if there was anyway possible to lower your pregnancy hormone level?

Answer
Hi, Janelle,

While some powerful drugs tamper with hormone levels, this comes with a terrible price, so for that reason I will not spell out how people do this. What it amounts to is that this kind of powerful tampering can end a woman's life, or do other grave damage. I am neither authorized to advise on how to change hormone levels, nor would I want to. I don't go around helping women hurt themselves and their children. No person who believes in human rights or in medical ethics will ever advise a woman to do these things. A woman deserves to live her life unmolested by powerful and poisonous substances. If this is a personal concern, I am willing to discuss your circumstances, and provide what help I can. If you do want to discuss your circumstances, feel free to respond with some specifics. Thank you.

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 eleven. 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. I am not a doctor, but I have done extensive medical research, so I may be able to help with information. I am female. When you write, if you are or were pregnant, please tell me how far along you were or are, and if you have had an abortion, please tell me what kind. Thank you.

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.
