Question
hi, my wife took 1 mifepristone(200g)and 48 hours later took 4 Misoprostol (200g) and its been 10 hours and there is no sign of bleeding..wat should we do? shall v try the misoprostol dosage once more? pl help...

Answer
Hello, tommy,

You should leave her alone. Those pills can kill her.

How far along is she? Are you measuring from possible date of conception, or from her last menstrual period? I can't tell you anything about the reason why there is no bleeding without knowing that, so please let me know. Thank you.

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.
