Question
hello, i had a medical abortion and im wondering does this sound like i had a complete abortion. I started bleeding heavy for about 3hours then i passed something that was about 4cm long and looked like tissue and stuff. Since then i have been bleeding not too heavy but heavier than im used to.clots are passing and stuff. Does this sound like my abortion was complete..?

Answer
Hello, rachel,

In my opinion, your abortion isn't complete until you stop bleeding entirely. You didn't say how far along you were, or when you had the abortion. These things are important. One way to find out if you passed all tissue is to get an ultrasound.

Watch the bleeding closely. You should be taking cayenne (red hot peppers) as a supplement, or eating food which is made hot with red hot peppers on a regular basis until the bleeding stops completely. If you took anything in your vagina, go see the doctor IMMEDIATELY and ask him to test you for Clostridium sordellii. If you have it, he needs to put you on aggressive lifesaving treatment immediately. Using these deadly pills in the vagina can cause a woman to develop a galloping infection that can kill her in hours. I am not aware of any woman who has survived once symptoms start.

You should also take Vitamin D3 supplements the rest of your life, to safeguard yourself from breast cancer. All forms of abortion cause breast cancer. The type of breast cancer is called Triple Negative and it kills 1/4 of its victims. It strikes before a woman is 40. A good dose is 5000IU. You need to have your blood tested periodically to make sure you're getting enough, but not too much. Also, get regular thermograms. Do not get mammograms, because they can cause or spread breast cancer.

What it boils down to is that no abortion is EVER truly complete. A woman lives with a lifetime of consequences. Abortion is very dangerous and even deadly for the mother no matter how it is done. I hope you will make sure never to try that again. You shouldn't be living in fear of pregnancy. If you are not married, talk to your partner about not putting you at risk anymore. Don't try to use "protection". It often doesn't work, and you will still live in fear. He should respect your body and not use you for his pleasure. If he is not willing to do that, you deserve someone better.

The question you are asking is whether or not you are still pregnant. Only time will tell. Depending on when you took the pills, you can start testing for pregnancy about 3 weeks later. Test weekly, and see if the test becomes less positive. But get the ultrasound to make sure you don't retain any tissue that can cause infection. Infection can make you sterile, or cause many other problems.

Please keep in touch, and don't take any more chances with your life. Take care.

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.
