About Dr. Joeri van den Bergh,<B>MD. PhD. MNGvA</B> Expertise abortion specialist & Provider. Board Member of ISAD (the International Society of Abortion Doctors)
Experience Back in 1972 I co-founded the first second trimester abortion clinic in Europe in Heemstede the Netherlands. It still exists. I was an independent provider working in Spain, the UK, Austria, Germany and the Netherlands .I have performed over 100.000 abortions and learned to listen to and understand women who have to make one of the most difficult decisions in their lives.
As a psychotherapist I studied the psychological after effects of an abortion.Oponents to abortion who call themselves "prolifers" (which suggests abortion doctors to be "pro death") invented "The post-abortal syndome" which should include depression and feelings of guilt. Only very religious people sometimes feel guilty as they are afraid of going to hell. This, however, does not stop them from having the abortion performed. Do not worry, such a syndrome does not exist. Most woman are relieved and grateful when the abortion is over.

Question Dr. van den Bergh,
I hope you do not mind that I am asking you a question about a topic other than abortion, but all the P.A.s and M.D.s in the "birth control" subsection are unavailable for questions and I am kind of desperate right now.
I went on a long trip out of the country. It wasn't until I arrived at my destination, however, that I realized I had forgotten my birth control pills! I was unable to get another perscription, because I visiting a country that outlaws birth control. I just arrived home today. It's been nine days since I last took a pill. I got my period, and I also took a pregnancy test, so I know I am not pregnant. But I am unsure as to how to proceed. Should I restart with a new pack? The only directions on the pill (Ortho Tri Cyclen) packets I have say to start again seven days after the last pill I took. Of course, it's been more than seven days. Can I still take them?
Thank you so much,
Natalie
Answer Nathalie, no problem !
Wait until the 7th day after the first day of your next period (also with sex, unless your friend uses condoms) and start with the new strip of pills then.
Be aware that the pill does not give 100% protection in the first month of use ! So take care !
bye for now,
