Question
am married i have no plan to have child due to un protected sex ended up with pregnancy, am pregnant for 5 weeks 4 days, i have taken 1mt pill and 2 misoprostol at once how many hours will it take to bleed.  

Answer
Hello, Swetha,

It is too bad you risked your life by taking those pills. We will hope for the best for you.

Nobody can tell you how long it will take. These are powerful drugs that completely disrupt a woman's hormones. They also can cause a woman to bleed to death, because they stop the hormone that controls a woman's bleeding. Did you take misoprostol by mouth, or how did you take it?

When you say you are pregnant for 5 weeks and 4 days, are you counting from your last period, or from the day you think you conceived? What dose were the pills?

Please let me know the answers, and let me know when you start to bleed. I will pray for you. If for some reason, the pills don't cause abortion, please carry your baby and put him or her up for adoption. It is much, much safer for you. Take care.

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.
