Answer
Hello, Great,

There is no way anybody can tell you whether the bleeding was your period, because after a pill abortion, women bleed erratically for a long time, often several weeks. You will have to wait and see. Be prepared for heavy bleeding at any time. These pills are poisonous and they disrupt a woman's hormones for quite awhile. You didn't say how far along you were when you took the pills. This is important. You should specify whether you are counting from your last period, or from the day you think you conceived.

You should get some cayenne or red hot peppers into your body. You can eat spicy food with red hot peppers, or you can get cayenne as a supplement. Take it regularly until you are sure the bleeding has stopped for good. Also, if you took any pills vaginally, you need to see the doctor immediately. He needs to test you for Clostridium sordellii. If you have it, you need aggressive life-saving treatment immediately. If symptoms start, you have only hours to live.

Please take care of yourself. Don't take any more poisonous pills. Let me know how you do.

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.
