Question
QUESTION: I had sex on 27th of november 2010.
I confirmed my pregnancy on 24th of december.
I then took mifepristone tablet on 27th of december.
Then completed the procedure with taking two tablets of misoprostol vaginally on 29th of december, in the morning.
In the evening, i started to bleed. First it was very heavy for two hours, with a big clot expulsion.
Then  it became normal as a normal menstrual cycle.
I continued to bleed same way till 12th of january.
from 13th onwards the bleeding has increased a lot. I want it to stop now. Its causing a lot of inconvinience to me. Today i've also taken a tablet of methargine, but its of no use. Please help me.

ANSWER: Hello, Shivir,

Unfortunately, these pills are poisonous. They stop the hormone that controls a woman's bleeding. Women often bleed to death after taking these pills. When a woman takes such deadly pills, she can expect to be inconvenienced. If she survives, she should be thankful.

You didn't lose your baby until you had the big clot expulsion. There is a possibility you still have tissue in your uterus that will have to be removed to stop the bleeding.

There are three things you can do. 1. put up with it. 2. see a doctor, who will have to treat you, and possibly do a hysterectomy or 3. get some red hot peppers in your diet, or take cayenne, on a regular basis until the bleeding stops completely.

The peppers may or may not control the bleeding. They sometimes do, but not always. But it is something you can try.

You may also have greatly increased the risk that you will get a particularly deadly form of breast cancer. You should take Vitamin D3 for the rest of your life. Start with a dose of 5000IU and have your blood tested periodically to make sure you are not getting too much. You can then adjust the dose. You are also much more likely to get an auto-immune disease such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. I don't know of a way to prevent that.

You should NEVER take misoprostol vaginally. It can cause a woman to develop a deadly infection that can kill her within hours. It would appear you are no longer at risk, but have the doctor check and see if you have Clostridium sordellii in your body. If you do, he needs to start IMMEDIATE aggressive life-saving treatment. Once symptoms start, it's too late.

They don't tell women how dangerous these pills are. I have tried to get Cipla to keep women safe, and they ignore me.

Please keep in touch and let me know how you do, and don't take any more chances with your life. Stay safe!

QUESTION: I'm scared now.....wat should i do, should i continue to take methargine, or should i stop....

Answer
Hello, Shivir,

I can't advise you to take or stop taking any medication. That would have to be up to your doctor. If the doctor told you to take it, you should take it. If you got it on your own, and took only one tablet, you need to see a doctor immediately. Find a doctor who knows abortion is bad medicine. A doctor who thinks abortion is acceptable has poor medical judgment.

Get the red hot peppers into your body. Do this regularly until the bleeding completely stops for awhile.

I wish I knew how to warn women before they take these pills, but I don't know how to do that. Women need to tell each other.

Please go see the doctor immediately. Please let me know what you find out, and how you do.
