Can It Not Work? Please Help!! Posted: 05-09-06 07:47am
Hello all. I had a medicated abortion 9
weeks ago, but I think it may not have
worked. I still hav all the symptoms and
stuff. Plus ive got really fat in my
tummy in the last 2-3weeks. Ishould b 4
months-if I am pregnant.And I havent been
overeating. Eating healthily actually.
Urinating alot, sneezing alot. The lot
basically. What I was wondering is....Can
the abortion sometimes not wrk, and u
still be pregnant afterwards. I mean I
felt and experienced everything you feel.
But I still have a feeling that I might be
pregnant. Or im just wishing? I dont
know...But I do need to know any
statistics about an abortion not working.
Ive always been rubbish at inserting
tampax...And well those who know what
happens during an abortion will know about
the tampax job. Thanks all. Much love.
Cherry88
p.S id like to say sorry in advance if I
hurt anyones feelings as it is a touchy
subject.

Hi, medication abortion is best done
before you are 9 weeks pregnant, or about
2 months pregnant..
Here in the us they do not do medication
abortions past 9 weeks because the risks
of excess bleeding, and the greater
liklihood of it not even working.
Please take a pregnancy test! You can
get pregnant right after an abortion, so
if you are not on birth cotnrol you very
well could've become pregnant after your
abortion.
Did you not go to a follow up appointment
so the doctor could do an examination and
make sure your abortion was complete? I
reccommend going back to an abortion
clinic, especially the one you went to to
have an exam.

Hi I was exactly 9 weeks pregnant, and
coudnt go to the follow up cuz I had to
move country!! Sounds real messed up I
kno and im only 18! Im definitely not
pregnant again after the abortion because
I refused to touch my boyfriend at the
fear of getting pregnant again, and having
to go through it all again. I think my
mind and body are playing tricks on me.
Someone told me that not everyone has a
period after, but I had a real real light
spotting period, now this next one hasnt
come.So my mum is gettin me a pregnancy
test today to put my mind at rest. So
i'll keep u posted thanks so much for your
reply it really helped.

if you weren't able to
keep your scheduled follow up appointment,
my best advice would be to go to a doctor
as soon as you possibly can. They will
need to examine you to ensure that all
tissue has been expelled from your body.
If some has remained, it could make you
very sick or cause a bad infection.
Please go to the doctor and let us know
what's going on.
Peace and love,
jenn

If you somehow were still pregnant it is
likely deformed and has problems, those
medications do without a doubt cause
serious deformity.

Well thanks very much for that disturbing
piece of advice carifairy, well I went to
the hospital, not pregnant, but they
wanted to do some internal exams swabs and
stuff but I left the hospital when the
said that cause I just dont like stuff
like that, plus I wud have had to stay
overnight or longer there. And im not
good with hospital, got real annoyed bein
the centre of attention and loads of
doctors poking me n that, was that a dumb
idea to leave?Wat u fink? It couldnt have
been that bad cuz they didnt give me an
ultrasound or anything to check.

If medical professioanls give you advice
you turly should take it. By not
listening to doctors you are taking
chances with your health.
