Answer
Hello, Manish,

Your question was in the question pool rather than addressed specifically to me, and I just saw it.

You should probably have your wife test again at this point. You should follow the instructions for the test exactly, because some tests will show positive eventually, even if the woman isn't pregnant.

I would never advise you to take any steps to cause an abortion. It is unethical for a doctor to help a woman have an abortion, and I'm not a doctor, so I can't prescribe. Also, I would never help you hurt your wife.

It sounds like the pills didn't do anything except cause problems. These pills are dangerous, and can kill your wife. You need to take care of her and protect her. Please don't let her take these kinds of chances. Women are bleeding to death after a pill abortion. Since you are married, there is no reason why you shouldn't have a baby. If you are facing difficulties and need help, let me know. Let me know where you live, and I will see if I can find an organization that can help you. Let me know how things are going.

You're welcome.

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.
