Abortion Pill – RU486
The abortion pill has been available in the United States for over a decade. Like surgical abortions, it is a safe option that many women consider each year.
The abortion pill is commonly known by several other names: RU 486, Mifepristone, Mifeprex, non-surgical abortion or medical abortion.
Actually, the “abortion pill” is a misnomer as it really is a combination of two medications, mifepristone and misoprostol. It is safe and effective when used within nine weeks of pregnancy. Your doctor will explain to you how the abortion pill works in more detail but generally when you take the mifepristone it blocks the hormone progesterone levels that are needed to maintain a successful pregnancy.
Due to the blockage of this hormone, the uterine lining begins to shed, the cervix is softened and bleeding (an indication of abortion) may occur. The bleeding may be light much like spotting towards the end of a menstrual period or heavy. In some cases, you may experience no bleeding until you take the second pill, which is the misoprostol. Misoprostol will be taken orally or inserted vaginally within 48 hours of taking the mifepristone. It causes uterine contractions (cramps) and expels the uterine contents from the body.
The abortion pill is not recommended if you have certain medical conditions such as heart disease, asthma, diabetes, bleeding problems or hypertension or if you use an intra-uterine device. It is ineffective in the case of ectopic pregnancy.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has found that 95 women out of every 100 have aborted successfully with the intake of the abortion pill in the first nine weeks of pregnancy. Moreover, with the abortion pill, the risk of infection is very low and maternal death is virtually non-existent.
The abortion pill is provided through a doctor’s office or clinic. Many women choose the pill to avoid surgery. Others feel that using the abortion pill is more private because they can end their pregnancy at home. Some feel that it is more natural than a surgical abortion. In addition, you must be able to commit to two or more visits to the clinic.

August 30, 2012 at 12:44 pmNow and then I’ll hear someone bring up that they heard about a deal innlvoivg large quantities of some commodity such as gold or petroleum products. THey think they can make a lot of money by being intermediaries in these deals. When I researched, it looks like there are thousands of people soliciting these deals over the internet. For example, someone will be claming they know a seller who will sell 5,000,000 barrels of jet fuel for a discount off the standard market price. There is always some set of procedures defined innlvoivg LOIs, bank probes, swifts, etc which is usually different from deal to deal.I don’t understand why there are so many people on the internet claming to have deals. Are all these people scammers or do some of them just not know any better? Are any of these off-market deals innlvoivg huge quantities actually legit? What would a legitimate deal structure look like?

My husband had 3 children before I met him. I recently discovered I was pregnant I thought long and hard about my decision and last week took the abortion pill. It was not that I was being selfish it was that I am dont having children and accidence happen. I am now finishing raising my children and have 2 beautiful grandchild I am starting on. It was not a choice that came light heartedly but a choice I made. NEVER assume you know how or what a person is feeling OK

I can confidently say that it is impossible to get pregnant again right away after a miscarriage!This is because hormones levels are high and hence boosting fertility. However, it is good to wait for at least one normal menstrual cycle to give the body time to recover and to decrease chances of a second miscarriage. This increases the possibility of getting pregnant and carrying it to term. Some doctors may recommend waiting for even 6 months so as to increase chances of becoming pregnant without complications.Often, the likelihoods of getting pregnant following a miscarriage remain as they were prior to miscarriage. There is a 95% chance of getting pregnant for a second time after a miscarriage while women who have experienced more than 2 miscarriages have a 75% chance of getting pregnant. Miscarriages do not affect the chances of getting pregnant again like other health issues and diseases do. However, a number of women experience miscarriages for mysterious reasons. The cause of a miscarriage cannot be always known by testing.

Not because they will be changed into adipose tissue, but because
excess protein in your diet causes you to burn more protein and stare more fat.
