Questionhello jessica, when i learned that i'm pregnant @ around 1month and 2 weeks, i immediately bought a local herbal medicine 2 terminate pregnancy (back in the philippines). however, it did not result to termination. my bf and i were anxious of what must be done so he researched over the internet and found some medicines we can buy like methotrexate (yellow pills/tablets) and i took 10 pills every other day, unfortunately, nothing happened. by the way, the last time i took methotrexate was on dec 2, 2008. as of the moment, i havent checked if im still pregnant or what as i havent bought any pregnancy test kit. everyday i look in the mirror and it doesn't seem that my tummy is getting bigger. however, sometimes there's a yellowish discharge from my vagina. i wanted to see an ob gyne to have me checked if what next steps i should take. pls help, i'm very depressed and half way of being crazy. i hope u could help me sooner. thanks jessica. if only abortion is legal in the philippines
AnswerOh my gosh, please see a doctor, Nelfah. It's not a good idea to take pills that way, especially if you are not even sure you are pregnant or not.
The pills are illegal too, in the Philippines. But if you have scary symptoms, you should see a doctor always.
Lagi mong maasahan, my tita Selina says to say. Reply if you need me, my thoughts are with you and I'm asking everyone I know about your situation, okay?
