QuestionQUESTION: Hi,
I am very worried.
I had medical abortion on /07/10/2010.
Took the 1st se tof pill at around 12PM
as instructed by the nurse i took my next set of pills the next day along with the pain killers.
Luckily i wasnt having too much of pain.. bleeding started in few hours and all was goin well.
there were 1-2 clots of blood ...
i thought the abortion was over..
i continued takin the antibiotics dialy..
After 3 days i.e. 07/13/2010 i started having little pains like cramps.. (it was bearable like ususal periods time) later at around 7PM i felt a big clot comin out...i went to the restroom... but wat i noticed was a big tissue approx (lenght-2.5 inch x width - 0.5inch). i thought it was the sac.. but now when i browse the net.. there is no mention of such a big tissue .
the tissue was in red and grey colour.. very soft ... there was a thin layer like thing... it was a like a small bag..
Can you please help me with this
ANSWER: Hello, candy,
You didn't say how far along you were when you took the pills. But if you were several weeks along, a large tissue like this is to be expected. The baby will be that large before the time is past when people no longer give these pills. I don't know how carefully you examined what you passed. The timing is about right to pass the baby. I realize that someone probably misrepresented to you what pill abortions are all about. Women usually have an abortion because they feel, for whatever reason, that they cannot care for a baby. However, the baby, which exists, must be dealt with somehow, and that's what abortion is intended to do.
You may be experiencing some fairly heavy emotions as a result of this experience. Please be aware that I am here to help you work through whatever you are experiencing, and if you have any kind of complication, such as excessive bleeding, you need to get immediate help. And it can happen. As a precaution, I do recommend that you get some red hot peppers into your system, either through food or through a supplement called Cayenne. Do this until the bleeding is clearly over. The other problem is, if you took any pills vaginally, you are potentially at risk of dying from Toxic Shock Syndrome. No, they don't tell women that, either. So if you took any vaginally, you should go immediately and have the doctor test you for Clostridium sordellii. If you have these bacteria in your body, they need to start immediate aggressive treatment to save your life. I am not aware of a single case where a woman developed symptoms, and they were able to save her life. A woman's body doesn't fight back. That's why she won't experience fever. But Toxic Shock Syndrome only takes a few hours to kill.
One other thing, Especially if this was your first pregnancy, you now have a much greater risk of developing breast cancer. It tends to strike while a woman is still young, and kills 1/4 of its victims. If you have a close family member who has had breast cancer, your chances are virtually certain. You should get regular thermograms. Do not get mammograms, since they can spread the cancer. To try to help prevent this, I suggest taking regular Vitamin D3 supplements. They recommend about 5000 IU a day. You will need to have your blood tested to make sure you don't overdose, but ideally, your reading should be around 75, but not go over 100. Also, I recommend taking Resveratrol.
No doctor who is competent and ethical will ever give these pills to a pregnant woman. The manufacturer of the second drug says a pregnant woman should NEVER take it.
If you need to see a decent doctor, you can get a referral from an organization in your area that helps pregnant women. To find one near you, please go to this web site:

They also offer counseling for any emotional aftermath from this experience.
Please take care of yourself and don't take any more chances. Let me know how you do.

QUESTION: thanks for the reply...
i was 7 weeks pregnant.
i am not experiencing any emotional or i m not depressed ..
i was 100% with the abortion so i have no such bad feelings about havin done this.
i am jus worried if this would effect my future pregnancies...
can you tel me if the tissue is common at 7 weeks...
AnswerHello, candy,
You're welcome.
Unless the abortion was unsuccessful, the tissue you're talking about would be your baby in his or her amniotic sac. The amniotic sac would be soft, and because there is liquid in it, you might or might not feel the baby. It is not only "common", it always happens in a successful abortion.
Right now, you are thinking about the circumstances that caused you to decide to have an abortion, I'm sure. There may come a time when you do have bad feelings, so keep the link I sent you. You will be able to get counseling there.
As for whether or not this will affect future pregnancies is concerned, really, nobody knows. They haven't done the research. They don't tell the public about the tissue because they don't want to deal with what an abortion really is, and they don't want women deciding not to have an abortion because they get this information. In like manner, they don't want to know whether or not pill abortions can cause problems with future pregnancies. People will find out eventually, but not before an unbelievable number of women have acted as guinea pigs and been hurt. At present, I can tell you that if you have an infection as a result of the abortion, you may become unable to conceive. The infection doesn't have to be obvious. For example, pelvic inflammatory disease is often a result of infection, and it can cause infertility. As for whether or not your fertility is affected, you will just have to wait and see.
In addition, some women simply never conceive more than once, whether they have had an abortion or not.
Don't count on this to avoid pregnancy in the future, however. If you don't want to have a pregnancy now, and you are not married, don't have sex. "Protection" doesn't work. Sex is for making babies, so there are many ways the human body will defeat any other measure. Sex also has deeper meaning, but usually, an unmarried couple never experiences that deeper meaning, and having sex can also cause people to learn to distrust their partners, and eventually, their spouse. A woman deserves better. If you are married, the most reliable and safest way to avoid pregnancy is to learn to tell when you are fertile. You have to chart faithfully, and you can't be using any hormones. For more information, go to this web site:

I hope this helps. Please take care of yourself, and don't take any more chances.
