re: Self Induced miscarriage?

I think getting the abortion pill might be your best bet. It's way more likely to work...and you'll still be at home when the MC actually happens.

I've done it that way twice and had no problems...didn't need a D&C...and was back to normal (aside from a heavier than normal period and cramping) that same day...

Quoting Meggg ☮ 4THM:“ high amounts of vitamin C are harmful for a pregnancy and can result in miscarriage. Also, Fenugreek.”

It is????? I used to drink Sunny Delight and eat fruits with Vitamin C all the time! I didn't know it could be "harmful..." Both my LOs are fine :/

B/c if it doesn't work...then I would go for an abortion. So I wouldn't end up with a kid at all. Either way.

Exactly. If bleeding and MCing doesn't start by the six week mark...or you have a hard time consuming that much vit C..then you still have three weeks to do the abortion pill.

The pill is very dangerous actually, has more complications then the surgery and takes several days.

in other cultures they have special roots and bark and what not that they drink to cause a miscarriage...

why not just go and get it done by a doctor? Its safer that way.

I agree with the other poster's. I would try the abortion pill first. That way you don't have to go through that long process with the VC and everything else.

lol
No it doesn't.
I've done it twice. Took 12 hours or less both times with no complications.

Honestly, I don't think it's a good idea. But if you're going to do it, please be careful.

Quoting *~*Kelly*~*:“ personally... im PRO life, but im not going there, poor sweet baby... id let a medical profess do it.. dont play doctor hbe u thoight about ADOPTION??”

Adoption is not an option.

Quoting Satan:“ Exactly. If bleeding and MCing doesn't start by the six week mark...or you have a hard time consuming that much vit C..then you still have three weeks to do the abortion pill.”

From what I've read, the pill is not approved in Canada....so I don't think I have that option at all. However, I do have a doctors appointment tomorrow to discuss everything.

And thank you by the way for giving me straight info that wasn't wrapped up in unnecessary judgment. I appreciate that.

Quoting [Aiden & Arrissa's Mommy]:“ It is????? I used to drink Sunny Delight and eat fruits with Vitamin C all the time! I didn't know it could be "harmful..." Both my LOs are fine :/”

you have to have A LOT of vitamin C for it to be harmful.

OP .. I read the article now. Doing that stuff looks like it would probably be "safe", in the fact that it *probably* won't affect the baby IF it doesn't cause a m/c. However, I still stick with my original statement of letting a professional deal with it, rather than trying to do this at home.

And I'm sorry, but whoever wrote that said that they have "used it 3 times" because of "the lack of access to bc and abortion in much of the US". That is absolutely ridiculous! Condoms are cheap and even FREE from Planned Parenthood or some places on-line will send them to you for free. And inducing m/c or having an abortion IS NOT A FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL.

Just saying.

Quoting [Aiden & Arrissa's Mommy]:“ It is????? I used to drink Sunny Delight and eat fruits with Vitamin C all the time! I didn't know it could be "harmful..." Both my LOs are fine :/”

Yeah if you exceed the recommended dosage it can be harmful.
The normal mg in juice and stuff is fine.

I drank orange juice every morning while pregnant and I was fine.

For it to cause damage, you'd have to take like 5 1000mg capsules or more a day.

Why does everyone push adoption?  


Anyways, I'm pro-choice..... but the idea doesn't sit so well with me. I can't sway your mind, all I can say is to be safe. Think about all of your options overnight (sleep on it).
