Expert: - 7/3/2009


Question
Hello,
      I would like to learn more about the use of misoprostol for early abortions  2=5 weeks in duration. Any thoughts on it. I live in Turkey and abortion services are very expensive and hard to find.

Answer
I cannot advise you for abortion. I believe that abortion is very dangerous and sometimes life-threatening. The pills have sometimes been causing heavy bleeding and other side effects in some reports.
Is there any way that we can provide you with advice and support for some other option besides abortion? Please join the unplanned Pregnancy group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unplanned_pregnancy_help/
