Question
Hello Expert,

I took Mifepristone & Misoprostol to terminate my 7 weeks pregnency. I bleeded and the whole thing came out, then continued to bleed till 6 days & after that everything was okay for two more weeks after which I started to spot of only 5-6 black drops everyday. I went for an ultasound which says I am left out with retained product of sized 19 X 9 mm. I took Mifepristone & Misoprostol again but the medicine gave no action. I bleed for only 5-6 drops everyday for which I donot even have to take napkins. But the radiologist said me if I donot clear the retained product then I am prone to infections.
I am not in a position to visit any doctor. Please help me as I am in very much mental dilemma. Life has become hell for me just because of one mistake.
Please help me.

Answer
Dear Ritu,

Sorry for the delay, I just got your question now. I hope you are well, physically and mentally. I would have advised you not to take these medications. There are so many risks and I have had reports from women of many problems. Where did you go to get the ultrasound if you cannot visit a doctor. You must get help because bleeding can cause problems with your health. Serious problems. And infections are very bad as well. Please let me know how you are. You can email me privately at CHERYL51@aol.com and put ALLEXPERTS in the subject line of your email. Please contact me as I am worried about you and I will be praying for you.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
