Question
I took the abortion pill while on antibiotics and it did not work.
I then had the procedure a week late. This happened at the end of September. I still have not gotten my period Should I be concerned and is it possible the antibiotics interfered with the potency of the abortion pill?
I have been using protection and have taken 2 pregnancy tests because im nervous.both were negative.
Hello, tara,
I will need more information before I can answer your questions. What pill did you take? How far along were you? When you said you had the procedure a week late, what do you mean by that: that you made a second attempt at abortion, and if so, what method did you use? When did you take the pregnancy tests? Do you have any symptoms of pregnancy? Please let me know the answers to these questions.
Please be aware that protection does not work. It only delays pregnancy, sometimes.
Take care.

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.
