Answer
Hi Lakshana,

I just found your question in the question pool and it was unassigned so I decided to try to answer. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com so we can talk more. Of course, I would never suggest that you go against what your doctor said but did the doctor know that you did not want to use the birth control pills? I don't recommend the pills in my opinion because of hormonal side effects. So let me know what you have been doing and are you having any emotional side effects of the abortion.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
