Question
Hello,
     Me and my girlfriend had intercourse on July 27th and we checked her pregnancy on August 29th and it tested positive, twice.
     She has already gone through an abortion about two months back and this time she had the first pill and then around 48 hours later had the second pill. There has been no bleeding and little cramps. It has been almost 10 hours since the second pill. The first abortion was completed with the bleeding and cramps occurring within half hour of the second pill.
         The first time there two tablets which were taken orally and this time it was four tablets inserted vaginally.
     Please advise on other ways or if the abortion pills can be used again and in what time period.

Answer
I don't recommend this kind of abortion at all. There could possibly be side effects and risks. If she has not had bleeding and cramps, this could be a sign of problems. I would recommend checking with a doctor. I wouldn't recommend repeating the dose. Please consider her health and life and be careful. If she takes the pill or any kind of abortion repeatedly, this could risk her future health and fertility. You can email me privately at CHERYL51@aol.com so we can talk more.
