Questionwell first off i'm 19 and recently had an abortion on 4-11-12 i went to the clinic where i had all procedures done. they gave me the first pill(mifepristone) of 200 milligrams at 4:30 pm and was told to insert 4 misoprostol of 200 micro grams each vaginally. just so you know i have no former medical problems. well all went well and i was just wondering if it is normal that i am still with abdominal pain and soreness when touched?
AnswerHello, jennifer,
Well, first of all, whatever you do, DO NOT PUT THE PILLS IN YOUR VAGINA. You can get an infection that will kill you within hours! If you have already put them in your vagina, you need to see a doctor IMMEDIATELY. Have him test you for Clostridium sordellii. If you have it, he MUST start aggressive life-saving treatment IMMEDIATELY. Do NOT go back to the people who gave you the pills. They cannot be trusted. Find a decent doctor who knows abortion is bad medicine. Many women have Clostridium sordellii in their bodies, but it normally doesn't pose a problem. However, these pills lower a woman's resistance to disease, and depletes her immune system so her body doesn't fight back.
There is nothing normal about having an abortion, and nothing that happens afterward is normal, either. You may well have medical problems after this. In fact, you have greatly increased your risk of having breast cancer or auto-immune disease such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. At the present time, I am not aware of a way to help decrease the chance of auto-immune disease, but you can decrease your chance of getting breast cancer if you make sure you keep enough Vitamin D3 in your body. A good dose is around 5000IU of supplementation a day. You will need to have your blood tested to make sure you don't get too much. Ideally, you should have a blood level of about 75ng/ml. This is especially important if this was your first pregnancy, and you have close relatives who have had breast cancer. Then your chance of getting breast cancer is a virtual certainty, and 1 out of 4 women who get this form of breast cancer die from it. It can strike you while you are in your 20's or 30's. You should NOT get mammograms; they can cause or spread breast cancer. Get thermograms instead. They are much more reliable, detect it earlier, and will cause no harm. Since you live in Florida, you can also go into the sun for Vitamin D. If you have light skin, you should expose most of your skin for about 15 minutes a day, or until it turns pink, and you should not wash your skin for 24 hours, and you should not use sunscreen. If you have darker skin, you will need to stay longer.
How far along were you when you took the pills? Are you counting from your last menstrual period, or from the day you think you conceived? There is only a narrow window during which the pills will produce an abortion.
The abdominal pain and soreness do not surprise me. You will have to put up with them until they subside. If you start to bleed profusely, please be aware a woman can bleed to death after taking these pills. You should take some cayenne regularly, or eat food with red hot peppers in it, until the bleeding subsides completely, and if it gets heavy enough, you need to see a doctor.
I hope for the best for you. Please do not ever get an abortion again. No matter how it is done, abortion is dangerous. It can disable a woman, kill her, or harm her future children. Please take care of yourself. Let me know how you do.
