QuestionDear Dr. Cheryl. I am 26 yrs old and i live in a GCC where abortion is illegal and medical care is not private as it should be. my last period began in (jan 17 2008) and i noticed that i am pregnant in (feb 24) when i had plus minos test at home. the i visited a GYN MD, she confirmed my pregnancy and on ultrasound she noticed that i was in week 5.
the problem is that i am single in GCC and i dont want to loose my residence and my job. so i took CITOTEC 200 mcg Pills under the inscription of a Professional nurse.
i took 2 pills on mar-02-2008 before i went to sleep, then 2 pills pm mar-03 morning and 2 pills after 12 hours, then the same next day mar-04. Today i will follow the portion of 3 pills a day for 2 days as her inscription.
i felt lots of cramps, but no blood was noticed, only 3 or 4 drops on a tissue after peeying. Right now i am in week 6, and still i through up and feel same factors of pregnancy.
Didn't the medicine take effect? am i still pregnant? if there is still a baby would it be normal or deformed? i am afraid Please advise me.
AnswerHello Xavier,
Thanks for your question. I'm not a medical doctor so I just wanted you to know this. I am concerned about what you are saying. You have to be careful with Cytotec (which I think is the same thing as what you are calling CITOTEC). I have heard of stories from other women about this drug. Are you supposed to go for a checkup? I can't tell you if your medicine took effect or if you are still pregnant. Do you have a pregnancy resource center in your area? Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com so I can help you with resources. Hope to hear from you soon. I'm concerned about your health.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
