Suggest Ways To Terminate Pregnancy

Posted on Fri, 2 Dec 2016

Question: I am writing on behalf of my wife (43 yrs). She had her last period on 11th September and missed her period last month.

We are concerned as to whether this is a sign of pregnancy, although we do not feel that this should be the case. With her current health condition and age, we are definitely not in a position to continue with this. Please advise suitable medication so that her periods can be resumed.

Thanks

Hello Doctor,

Thanks for your response. I would like to answer your queries as follows:

She normally has regular periods - at times it gets delayed by 3-4 days or so
Yes, she is suffering from OCD - so she takes the following medicines - Floxin - 40 ( 1 tab daily) and D.D. Pramine 25 (1 tab daily)
Not really but I think once period was delayed by 15-20 days - then we had seen a doctor and he had prescribed some iron tonic after which it got mostly regularized

Height - 5' 1", Weight - about 42-45 kg

She is suffering from OCD since a very long period and is under medication - so she normally feels tired and has lost weight also. She is always very worried about petty issues and suffers from mental tension

Thanks

We took the test at home through 'Prega News' test kit. The result looks negative as it shows just one pink line

Please advise

Thanks
