Question
I had a pregnancy terminated by the abortion pill in may of 2011. The first dose did not work well and I had to be given a second doe because I had a lot of blood clots still in my uterus. Once I finally stoped bleeding about a two months after procedure I have not had a period at all. I am very worried that I will never have another period. I am 38 years old and I am about to get married in a month and I am now ready to have a child. What should I do?? The doctors have no answers for me, my paps are normal and so are my hormone levels. Please help.

Answer
Dear Julie,

I don't know what to suggest if you have already checked with your doctor. Can you try to get a 2nd opinion from another doctor or specialist? I can ask my friend who specializes in natural health products if she can suggest something. As you probably wonder, this may be a problem because of the abortion pill as it has hormones in it and that could affect your natural cycle. Perhaps, your body will straighten out in time. I would recommend trying to get another opinion and don't give up. I can pray for you if you like. Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and put ALLEXPERTS in the subject line of your email. Hope to hear from you soon.
