About Jessica Elsfort, CRM
Expertise
Feel free and confident in inquiring about pro-choice issues both past and present. I affirm in all situations women's choice in the real world, as it relates to us and the myriad ways we can uphold it, protect it, and support each other. Birth control, IUDs (copper and hormonal), responsibilities of the male partner(s)--these topics are vital to women today, and I can synthesize recent developments across media. Don't hesitate to ask the tough questions about reproductive health concerns. I keep an updated network of resources every woman should know about. Sisters, don't forget to look out for your girls; be an advocate and speak up for your friends.

Question
Jessica, I used Cycotec six times in 6 years(abortion).Is it harmfull to me?  

Answer
Hi, Francesca.

RXlist.com has the side effects here, so if you are experiencing or have experienced any of these, then your body has been harmed.  As with all medications, discontinue use and see a physician if you experience harmful side effects.

I'm sorry that this happened to you. I wish I could give you the biggest hug, because it must have been terrifying.

If you experience emotional effects that you would link to the abortions (depression, anger, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, grief, flashbacks, sexual dysfunction, relationship problems, eating disorders, alcohol/drug abuse) there is a 24-hour hotline to call for post-abortion help. 1-800-395-HELP. It's run by a non-abortion group. "All calls are answered by trained consultants who offer compassionate, confidential, nonjudgmental help. We're here 24/7 so you can call when you feel ready to talk. We can connect you to people who know the pain of abortion."

God bless you!  Seriously, I hope you are ok! Don't hesitate to call the doctor if you experience a bad physical side effect. He/she will not judge you. :)
