I donot want to go to the same doc and do the scanning and all that this time and is planning to take the medicines as per the last prescription... hope that is safe... would this double medical abortion effect my chances of getting pregnant again... I have a 3 year old son and would like to have another one after 2 years... current financial situation doesn't allow us to keep this child... I am really sorry about this first time... now I have reached a staged of numbness about this

Answer
Dear CG,

I wouldn't advise you to have a medical abortion. Not even the 2nd time. I don't feel that it is safe at all and even more that you are doing this without medical supervision. Your life and health may be at risk. Are there any pregnancy resource centers in your area that can assist you with having your baby instead of abortion? Try http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp
I would like to invite you to join the unplanned pregnancy group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unplanned_pregnancy_help/
There will be women there who will assist you and comment on your situation. I think this would be helpful to you. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and we can talk more.

Sincerely,
