i agree........i think 6 days is too late for that particular drug you
speak of, but when i was miscarrying, i looked into all my
options.......my body wouldn't let the fetus (or anything) go, and i
remember reading about the medicine Raichael talked
about..........however it was too late for me to take it cuz i was
already beyond 10 wks.........but this teenage girl should still have
that option open to her since it's so early still.......good luck.....
