Question: Hi ,

I have been living with my girlfriend for past 2 years . A week before we found that she is pregnant . We wen to see a near by doctor who told us to get Beta HCG done and then she will give my gf the pills . Her Beta HCG levels tested last friday were 4000 , and it has been 6 weeks since we had sex .

My gf is in medical profession herself and she has to do a lot of work standing , plus she has polio induced paralysis in one of her legs , due to which her day to day activities are quite strenuous .

I want to know which abortion procedure will be safe right now , considering that she might not be able to take much leave from work , also i dont want her to suffer too much pain and all .

And can you suggest me the best MTP centres in XXXXXXX .

Thanks for the quick reply Mam .

But we have asked a few people and searched through net and all we see is horror stories related to medical abortion . On the contrary , surgical abortion though costly , is been referred as less painful and more safe .

Can you please suggest if we shd opt for surgical abortion ?

Thanks a lot Mam ,

One last question , when can we go for surgical abortion , is there a lower limit in number of weeks like Medical abportion or can we get that done right now ?

Hello Mam ,

I consulted a gynae in XXXXXXX Healtcare , and we have opted for a medical abortion . My gf was given Mifepristone last day at the hospital , and she will be administered with Mifepristol vaginally tommorow , ie, on Sunday .

Now my gf forgot to tell her doctor about the "Candida infection" she has for last 1 month . Can you please let us know if this wont cause any harm to her , or if the pills shd be taken orally in such case , or not taken at all .

hi Mam

sorry to bother you again . my gf took misopristol vaginally at around 10.30 am today under supervision of our gynae. she didnt have any cramps till now but she passed two big clots( one was a white tissue) at 11.30 am (i.e 1 hr after taking medicine). She is bleeding but not very heavily and had back pain too which is gone now . We are worried that the medicine didnt work . The gestational age is exactly 6 weeks in her case . please let us know if it is normal ?

Hello Mam ,

It has been 24 hours since she took misoprostol , and apart from 2 clots which looked like gestational sac (which passed only after 45 mins of taking misoprostol) , nothing significant has happened . There has been no cramping at all .

She was bleeding last day which has now reduced to simple period like bleeding only .

What shd we do further ?

The problem is that our doc has given us appointment for thursday as she is out of town and we dont know what to do .

I have referred to guidelines available on various medical sites and everywhere it says that it takes 2 - 4 hours for clots to pass which is accompanied with heavy bleeding , and then after 24 hrs some normal bleeding continues for a few weeks . They also mention about taking antibiotics the day after taking pill .

Please guide Mam .
