And my diet has also changed greatly
ANSWER: Hello, Dashie,
If your test came back negative, you probably aren't pregnant anymore. Not getting a period for awhile doesn't surprise me. Those medicines are poisonous, and they disrupt a woman's cycle.
I am concerned about the change in your diet. One of the common emotional consequences of abortion is eating disorders. I would recommend you find someone who knows how to counsel abortion experienced women, and get some help on bringing your diet under control. I can make suggestions if you tell me what you are currently eating, and I can talk to you about the emotional problems. If you can find someone there, that would be better. Please let me know what you want to do. Please don't ever have an abortion again. It's dangerous and can kill you. Don't ever go back to the person who told you to take the pills vaginally. Taking them vaginally can kill a woman with a massive infection. Please take care.

QUESTION: The bleeding did cost the pills to be discharged from my body and i got my period this morning at first i wasn't sure but it came down one day off track but it still came.Iam now eating a lot threw the week then on the weekends I starved myself because i became afraid of my stomic getting big thinking it contained the baby.
AnswerHello, Dashie,
The fact you also took pills orally means that most likely the pills you inserted weren't needed.
Your eating does worry me. Eating disorders are a common problem after abortion. Starving yourself means that you may be more prone to gain weight than you were before. Here is how it works. Your body thinks you are starving, so it lowers your metabolism rate and hangs on to the fat you have. Once you start eating again, your metabolism stays at tne lower rate, and you don't burn fat like you used to. A lot of people do the wrong thing about it. Whatever you do, do not eat or drink anything with artificial sweeteners. These confuse your brain and actually cause a person to gain weight. Eat a sensible diet: fresh vegetables, plenty of protein. Don't overeat. Don't eat a lot of carbs. Vegetables are the best carbs to eat. They can be raw or slightly cooked. Do not eat low fat. Try to stay away from the cheap fats like soybean oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, cottonseed oil, and corn oil. The best fats are coconut oil, palm oil, and olive oil. Also meat fats are generally OK. Stay away from corn syrup and HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). Stay away from genetically engineered foods and monosodium glutimate. If you have difficulty going on to a reasonable diet, get some counseling. But keep in mind that the medical profession and most people who have a degree in nutrition really don't know what they are talking about. Good luck with this!
Please make sure never to have another abortion. They are dangerous and can kill you or cause you serious health problems. Please take care. I am here if you have any more concerns, and I'd love it if you let me know how you are doing.
