QuestionHello Doctor Shanm
I have been talking to Miss Pat G about the fact that i havent had any bleeding or cramping , I live in the UAE where abortion is illegal, however i know a doctor who did it for my friend and was sucessful, but the the pills she gave my friend were different from what she gave me, she gave her 2 big pills to swallow one after the other and then 4 pills whih she inserted at home in her vagina and the bleedng started in about 15 mins. The doctor called me to the clinic and inserted 6 pills in my vagina which looked very small to me at 6 pm on 13th of March , she then told me to take 6 pills orally at 6 am 14th of March, I still haven't had any cramping or bleeding, when I called the doctor today, she said we should wait till tomorrow to see if the bleeding has started and if not she'd do an ultra sound.
What do you think i should do?
AnswerHi Natali,
Pat G has nothing to do but pray all day and frightens everyone. She should not be in expert list at all. Do not believe one word of what she says. Its a most terrible woman.
What your friend got is obviously OK. Mifepristone + misoprostol. This almost always works.
What she gave you I cannot know. If the doc says wait a bit more, she thinks it will work.
So better have some patience and see what happens.
The misoprostol should not be swallowed but kept in your cheek to melt. Less bowel side effects.
I hope that everything goes well with you.
Please keep me posted.
Dr Shan
