Questionim 16 yrs old, and i took the "abortion pill" at about 4 weeks preg. after i took the pill, i had cramps but they werent bad at all and lasted about 30 mins. i also had some really light bleeding. i thought it was my period, but it wasnt heavy, and only lasted about a day and a 1/2. and they usually last 5-7 days. i went back to the dr. 2 weeks later and took a preg test and an ultrasound and said that i was still pregnant. they now think that im about 8 weeks pregnant. do i have to have a sugerical abortion, or can i take the pills again? and part of me still wants to keep the baby, but im scared that it would have really bad birth defects..how bad would the birth defects be?
AnswerHi Karrie,
Thanks for your question. I'm not a medical doctor so I just wanted you to know that. I would advise you to go to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP.
I don't recommend the medical abortion and I'm wondering why it didn't work for you if you followed the directions.
If you are wanting to keep your baby, you could find a doctor that would help you find out about the possibility. I think you could also find that at the same place I mentioned earlier. Also, I would like to tell you about this yahoo group if you would like to get some more opinions. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unplanned_pregnancy_help/
I would love to talk to you more if you would email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com
Hope to hear from you soon.
