Question
Ok I had the methotrexate pill this afternoon and was made to sit in the office for 30 minutes due to extreme nausea and vommiting. My doc was affraid I would throw up the pill. Was given 4 miso's to take in 24 hours. My concern is the absorbtion of the first pill. After I left the doctors, approximately 20 minutes after I began vomitting again. Did the pill absorb into my body ? Thank you  

Answer
Hello, amber,

There is a good chance you didn't absorb the pills. You better hope you didn't. Those pills are dangerous and can kill you. Please don't pursue this treatment! The person who gave you these pills was acting unethically.

Let me know what difficulties you face that make abortion seem attractive. There are organizations all over the United States which are prepared to help you with whatever problems you have. You can find one near you by going here:

Above all, please do NOT take misoprostol. The manufacturer says a pregnant woman should NEVER take them. There are several ways they can kill you. Go to your local organization and ask them to recommend a decent and ethical doctor to help you. You don't need to do this, and you deserve better.

Please take care of yourself, and let me know how you do.

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.
