And those of you who take the time to come back and tell us about your experience I thank you. It is good for others to know how this went for someone in the same position.
I have used this to positive results 3 times. Given the lack of access to bc and abortion in much of the US I would like to share this with all of you. Copy it, pass it around, send it to your friends. It is cheap and accessible to all. Obviously if there are any health problems or adverse side effects contact a doctor. My friends and I have used this with very little complications, but I just want to put that disclaimer out there as all bodies are different and yours may react differently then ours. Feel free to ask a natropath/herbalist/physician/gynaecologist.
It can only be used up to 3 weeks after a missed period, but the sooner the better. I've done it within the first week of missing my period and it's always brought it back for me. The best time to start it is on the 1st or second day of the missed period.
You will need:
Fresh parsley (preferably organic...I don't want pesticides in my vagina, so I go organic)
500 mg pills/capsules of Vitamin C (Try not to get pills with Bioflavonoids such as Rose Hips. These PREVENT miscarriage.)
The treatment can last 3 days: DO NOT EXCEED 3 DAYS!! This will work or not within 2/3 days.
1. Insert a fresh sprig of parsley as far as possible into the vagina. (parsley induces contractions, yum) Change every 12 hours. When soft, it may be difficult to remove, but this is not dangerous.
2. At the same time, drink parsley infusions. 2 to 6 tablespoons 4 times a day.
Making an infusion: use 2 1/2 cups of boiling water for every ounce of parsley (If you buy it at the store, minus 2/3 stems (for sprigs) this should be the amount of water used to make the tincture). Add parsley to boiling water, remove from heat and cover. Very important that you remove from heat IMMEDIATELY upon adding the parsley. Boiling the water with the parsley in there will make the infusion less effective. Let it steep for at least 20 minutes (the longer it steeps, the more potent it will be. I usually let it steep for 2 hours.
3. During the 3 days (or until your period starts) take high doses of Vitamin C orally. Ideally, take 500 mg every hour up to 6000 mg. You can continue using the Vitamin C for up to 6 days. Vitamin C can bring on menstruation even 3 weeks after a "late" period. you can begin taking Vitamin C immediately after unsafe sex, or if the condom broke, etc.
If successful you should start to bleed in 2 to 3 days.
Notes:
-You may have cramps (I get 'em bad after doing this) and you can take whatever you usually take for cramps or make a ginger infusion and take that.
-The chances of success are less if you regularly take high doses of Vitamin C
-High amounts of Vitmain C can cause loose stools. No one I know has experienced this, but is has been known to happen.
-Do not use if you have kidney problems.
-Watch for signs of Toxicity Specific to Parsley: Nausea, hallucinations, vomiting, vertigo, hives, paralysis, liver swollen and
painful, urine scanty and darkly colored, and tremors.
I've often noticed that on the second night I start emanating heat. Seriously I feel like a space heater. This is ok, it's just a side effect of the high doses of Vit. C and to me signifies that it worked and I will get my period soon (generally that night/next morning)
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE PENNYROYAL. IT IS DEADLY AND DANGEROUS. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, DO NOT DO NOT, DO NOT USE IT!!!
I DO NOT know anything about adding Dong Quai, so DO NOT ask me about it. I don't know.

Answers to FAQ
1. Your age will not affect whether this will work or not. If you are old enough to menstruate and get pregnant then you are old enough or this to be effective.
2. I do not know individual Vitamin C brands. I do not know how time release would work as there is no evidence as to if/how it has worked. I know that Vit. C with Rose Hips has worked, but it is preferential that if you can get Vit. C without Bioflavonoids that you do as this works better. Bioflavonoids should be labeled as such on the bottle.
3. I can't tell you how much an ounce of parsley is. I've only ever seen parsley sold in bunches (which I weighed at more then an ounce) so I just take a few sprigs and dump the rest of the bunch into 2-2 1/2 cups of water. Stores have scales so if you're worried there should be a scale in the produce section or at the very least in the deli.
4. There is no difference between Italian (flat) or curly parsley.
5. Always use fresh parsley.
6. If this doesn't work and you decide to carry to term there will be no adverse effects caused by the vitamin C.

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 1215 Newer› Newest»Hi, SJ here. Today I started bleeding, hooray! I had been taking the vitamin C in chewable form that tasted like orange juice. I also had been using the parsley tampon thing and parsley tea once or twice a day for 2 days. Then today I was getting worried so I went to the health food store and bought black cohosh tea and dong quai and started that around 1:00 pm. then by 6:00 pm I had began to bleed. I felt crampy before the bleeding started. And I still feel crampy.
Just 3 months ago i started birth control and i havent had my period since. i wasnt sure if i had taken the BC perfectly so i took 2 pregnancy tests that were negative and 4 more about 2 weeks later which also were negative. This is the beginning of the week i should be having my period, i have done the vitamin c thing several times before when i was nervous about not starting my period and its worked every single time. i take one 500mg vC tablet every hour for a day and the next morning, like clockwork, it comes.
my question is if my period (or lack thereof) is a result of my BC, do you think the vC still work for me?
I'm not sure. Hormonal birth control can really screw with your cycle. I have a friend who had to quit regular b.c. b/c she was getting her period about once every 3 months (not the kind that promises less periods, mind you). She was just too freaked about not having it every month so she quit.
If you learn how to chart your cycle, you can know if your pregnant, a week before you even start your period! Then you have a even better chance.
i'm in this situation now where i have to do this. i was supposed to have my period on 12/06 (Thurs). tested positive that day on the pregnancy test. I did my research about natural methods and i found this place. thank you. Monday (12/10), I started the vitamin C 1000mg every 2 hrs. Tuesday, today, I'm taking the 500 mg per hour. I'm also drinking the parsley tea. I haven't tried the insertion of parsley inside the vagina yet. I will keep you updated. Thanks again for the info.
Hello....i recently had sex 3 days before my most fertile time and was super parinoid so i started taking birth control....i want to try the Vitamin C thing but should i wait till after im done with my pack of pills or should i start the vit c when im suppost to get my period? please help!! thank you
Charting your cycle is not a sure fire way to protect against unwanted pregnancy. You can still get pregnant during your period. FYI
roses are red: good luck
josie: have you talked to your doc about taking that many pills? It can be dangerous. If you're not getting your period when you should you should definitely start the vit c.
about the birth control pills...im only taking one pill a day for 28 days like your suppost to but because i started them in the middle of my cycle i dont know if i should start the vitamin c when i was origially suppost to get my period or when im done with the pack of pills which would be like two weeks after when i was suppost to get my period.....any ideas?
Hi, Lost Clown, my girlfriend is about a week and a half to 2 weeks pregnant, I just need some assurance that I'm not killing anything and that everything will work okay with no complications. Thank you for all of this.
No one can guarantee that there will be no complications for anything, but this is a very mild method.
Unless you're worried about a cell (all it is at this point), you'll be fine.
My period is about 2 weeks late but my boyfriend and i had sex about a month ago, is it too late?
Can you please help me. I am 39 years old and just missed my period by 3 days. confirmed preg. Started the vit c and parsley insert today. any additional advice. I am having a really hard time drinking the tea (I get sick) any other way of ingesting the parsley? How long does this usually take?
Hey i started vitamin c three days after my missed period, & i know im pregnant(positive test). Yesterday i started the parsley, both drinking & inserting so its only been about 11 hours since i started the parsley. everytime i put the parsley into my vagina, i feel slight cramping after like im going to get my period. any info on that? & also, how do i know that all this is working for me?? how long would it take if im taking about 8000mg vit c, drinking & inserting parsley? pls help!!
Also, if i eat the parsley together with the tea would it be better? or would it make no difference than just drinking the tea
Josie, I don't know. I have no idea when it comes to bc pills.
anon 13:55: it's not too late
jenw: that's the most efficient way b/c it's all the things you need concentrated. Try putting honey or something in it. It's just kind of horrible tasting. I've never tried to do anything to it, so I have no tips.
N: you should only do the parsley for 3 days, and the vitamin C for 5. You might feel the cramping b/c of inserting something into your vagina. It will either work or not by the end of the 5th day. Good luck. Eating the parsley will make no difference, the tea is very strong and potent, much more so then eating it
Thank you, Thank you, I was 5 weeks and 3 days, Took 500mg Vit C all day Monday and on the way home from work I was on fire, my car was steaming up inside I was so hot, i was like a furnace! Felt pretty terrible but by Wednesday morning, cramp and bleeding and by the nightime, got my period!! so so so happy, Thank you again x
I posted about charting your cycle. I didn't say you couldn't get pregnant. I just said if you do get pregnant you can know a week before you are due to start your period and have a better chance of doing this cleanse.
I did your cleanse for 2 days and still no period. I don't know what is wrong since I just took a test and came out negative but I still think I am pregnant, since I am never late. I just want this to go away. Does putting Vit C up your area make a better chance or not? I shoved a ton of parsley up there and took vit c like its candy and drank a ton of that gross drink but still nothing. Today is day three, if I keep doing this will that help or is it pointless on day 4?
Hey, sorry for asking so many times lol but im a bit desperate to get this over & done with.. is there any way i can tell that this is working for me during the process? also, i found a bit of discharge today like a yellowish almost light brown liquid what does it mean? i've never had any discharge this mnth all so i was quite happy to see at least something come out of there lol. is it a good sign?
Thanks a lot lostclown! (:
a couple questions:
should the tea be dark green? mine was very light colored.
how much parsley should be insterted into the vagina?
does this hurt a lot more than normal menstrual cramps?
thank you so much for posting this
anon 5:08-I'm so glad it worked for you!
sara: you can continue the vitamin c for 5 days, but taking the parsley for any longer is pointless. Also, using vitamin C vaginally only works a day or two after a risky encounter.
N: I don't know what to say, but my fingers are crossed.
anon 23:36-the tea is light coloured, one sprig, and it can hurt more then normal menstrual cramps, but not necessarily.
Hi, Lost Clown, my girlfriend has been using inserts for 2 days with the stems, are we SOL now because of that? or should she start all over again with pure sprigs.
Hey i've been on this parsley and vit c thing for 2.5 days. just yesterday i had A LOT of white fluid come out from there. does that mean my period is coming? i dont normally get white stuff at all even when im ovulating, so this is a first for me. plus, theres like a whole pad filled with this white stuff... im about 1.5 weeks past my missed period and confirmed preg please help me lost clown
oh i also forgot to add.. i've been getting mild random cramps all day. advice pls!
my girlfriend is pregnit and we what to use the recipe. i only have one questen? do you use fresh herb for the drink? thank you we have be a big help.
Adam: With the sprigs won't hurt at all.
Maggie: I don't know what that signifies. Cramps are a good sign.
ja: use fresh parsley.
hey wld like to ask, what/how do you feel right before you get your period? does it sometimes take more than 3 days and do you get any discharge?
PL
Hey, Adam again. Should we incorporate some Dong Quai? She's not showing any symptoms of a period at all and some success stories on here talk about using dong quai.
PL: I enumerate the symptoms above in the post. Please refer there.
Adam, as I have said about 10000000000 times, I know NOTHING about Dong Quai when used in conjunction with parsley and vitamin C.
Hi,
I just wanted to update all of you on my progress with the vitamin c and parsley. I did not have a confirmed pregnancy, but I went through the process, 3 days for the parsley which caused mild cramping, and about 5 days for the vitamin c. I took three of the Early Response pregnancy tests which allows you to test whether you are pregnant before your first missed period, 3 days apart each and "passed" each one (I started taking the pregnancy tests about an estimated 12 days past ovulation)! Lol! Then a week after I discontinued use of the vitamin c and parsley, I got cramps and a light bleeding discharge. It has been like this for about two days; I am currently waiting for the full fledged period. I think I am in the clear right now, but I am still paying attention to any messages my body might be trying to tell me. I will keep you posted. Best luck to all of you during the holiday season.

Hey! I haven't taken a preg text but i know i am because i've had two miscarriage before so i know the symptoms..my boyfriend and i broke up, i found out that he was tryin to get me pregnant (poking holes in condoms when he wore them and not pulling out when he didn't wear them,etc) i'm three weeks past when i shouldve gotten my period and have been taking vit c and then found ur site i've been taking vit c for about 4 or 5 days now..i wanna start the parsley like u said u don't put the stem of the parsley in right? and the tea, can u add honey or flavoring to make it taste better..u said to remove heat from boiling water before putting parsley in so does that mean after water boils take off stove let cool and then put parsley in? thanks so much for this site
i went to a grocery store and they only had italian parsley and curly parsley so i got italian parsley..is there a difference between parsley and parsley sprigs? do u know if that'll make a difference? and do u take stems off? how many leaves? thanks so much for this site!
This is amazing. Thank you!
Question: Rather than making the parsley infusion, would you say just eating the parsley by itself after mashing it up a bit would be just as effective?
tegwildtiger: you pick off pieces of the parsley and insert them, like the ends of the stem. it's more a matter of comfort. It doesn't change anything. Yes remove the pot from the stove and then add the parsley.
desperate1: either parsley will work, though I usually use the curly. For the tincture just use all the parsley, stems and all. For the inserts, just use the ends of the parsley. There should be a few leaves and a little stem.
Anon: you concentrate the effective ingredients in the parsley by making the tincture. It's better to drink it then eat the parsley, b/c the amount of parsley you'd have to eat to get the same effect is ridiculous.
Oh god i NEED help does thisa seriously work ??? Any other good tips.. I'm desperate i live in a part of Ireland where this is totally illegal !! Thanks in advance for any replys xx
hi there lost clown i had sex about 4 day before my period was due, using a condom as b/c. on the day my period was due i took a boots pregnancy test and a negative result was shown. i've felt cramps on my left below my stomach, and my boobs feel sore. i have felt somewhat stressed. my period did not come on it due date but i have had sore boobs and light pains since i'm now on day 5 after my missed period and have started taking 1000mg of vitamin c. do you think i could be pregnant? i do not have parsley will the vitamin c tablets alone work? i've also been using a hot water bottle on my belly to get my temperature up and also eating lots of honey will all of these help? wot else can i do other than the parsley?
RachWats: yes it does, but not for everyone. People have posted their stories in the comments if you want to know what they did.
The symptoms you are talking about are symptoms I get before my period. It probably is just stress. And this plan works better with the parsley.
Will this be effective to try before your missed period?
I'm 16 years old, so I'm often irregular. Last month it started 4 days late, and I knew there was no way I could've been pregnant because at that time I was still a virgin...
Anyways, I could potentially start later or sonner than 28 days after that, right? I'm do for my period soon, anyways, but I want the least potential risk.
My boyfriend doesn't approve of abortion, or at least he didn't. However, now that we're faced with this he says he doesn't care about it anymore and even agreed to go with me, if that ended up being the case.
I'm going to try exercising a lot and sleeping with a heating pad, like I do for my period cramps.
This post really gave me hope that I might not have to go for a full-out clinical abortion. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Even if I end up not being pregnant or if this doesn't work for me, it really helped me look into things besides just abortion. I hope you still check this, saw some recent responses.
so happy ive come across this!! on the pill and had unprotected sex now period is late and ive come across all these websites with people saying they have got pregnant on the pill. Would have to travel to england to get an abortion as it's illegal in ireland. too scared to take a test.Gona try this now, oh god fingers crossed!!!!!
I was/am several days late with a definate possibility of pregnancy. had come across this and another website sisterzeus.com. I never imagined there would be such helpful information available, and i took ideas from both.
I had been taking ~2000mg vitamin c/day for a few days (this was a friends idea). After coming across these websites, i tried in the past 24 hours:
vitamin c 500mg/ hour, black cohosh tincture, dong quai tincture, parsley tea and parsley insertion.
Voila, this evening i felt a sharp pain in my left ovary area followed later by some bleeding. Its light enough so far, but hopefully will continue. I am just so relieved and want to thank you so much for providing such helpful information for desperate women on such a 'taboo' subject.
hi this is FS
I just want to tell one thing that I used this technique and I got my next period after 8 weeks.Thanks again.
FS
Anon 14:54-it can work around your period.
Manathemute: I slipped and published you. Your views are not welcome here, as I said in my post. Post under any name and you will be denied. Go preach your anti-choice crap later.
Anon 2:24-Good luck, I really hopes this works for you.
Pinkmonkey and FS-thanks for reporting back. You're very welcome, I had the info, posting it is the least I can do.
later is supposed to be elsewhere
I first bled 2 days ago after commencing herbs/vit c, and bleeding has been very light since. Bleeding is nil at night, and light and quite clotted during the day. the parsley insertions are in my opinion the main stimulant for this bleeding.
Now, although the insertions cause me no pain at all.....im starting to become paranoid..... could it be them that is causing bleeding???
And i have no cramps or anything, thought i dont usually get any.
What is your opinion on this lost clown???? thank you!
Dear Lost Clown,
I hope to hear from you as soon as possible. I'm irregular in my periods but have had all of them this year on dates ranging from the 18 - 23.My last period was on the 22nd of November and lasted till the 26.
I had sex the next day(protected and my bf says he's sure everything was ok, nothing broke or anything), and around twice afterward (one time protected and the other time, my bf did slip into me but withdrew before we could complete anything as we were interrupted and he says he's sure he didn't even leak or anything).
My periods for the month of December are still not here and it is already the 31st. I don't think i should be pregnant but I will be doing the home pregnancy tests in a few days because honestly, i can't bring myself to do that now. I would rather try your method first.
Please advise me on whether the Vitamin C can be the effervasent type (i currently have those) or has to be a regular tablet type. And second of all, should the parsley get left in if i cant get it all out, would that be harmful?
Normally just 2 - 3 days before my periods, i get "false alarms" in terms of cramps in my lower back but they go away unless the periods are due to start that day in which case, the pain only intensifies. I've been cramping for DAYS now but no bleeding.
Im in a country where it is illegal to get a clinical abortion or even premarital sex.
FYI, i travelled to a foreign country and back with drastic climatic changes, could that be the cause?
Oh my.
I'm 32, and single. I fell for a guy I met through work, and things got pretty intense quickly. We had been seeing each other for 3 weeks when he basically has dropped off the face of the earth. I've seen him once in the past week, and he clearly has no interest in a relationship. As luck would have it, not only am I dealing with a broken heart, and a miserable christmas, but I'm late now too. My last period started on nov 30th, and as of right now, not a sign of it starting. I took a test this morning and it was negative, and my breasts aren't sore, but I have been feeling very nauseous, though that might be anxiety. I will take another test in a week if I haven't started my period.
I had a clinical abortion about a year ago, and don't want to go through that again. I came across your site yesterday and immediately started the VitC. I can't get parsley until tomorrow, but I will do that and start that as soon as I get home. I might try some Don Quai as well.
I'm certain that if it is going to work, i have started in time. I am crossing my fingers and praying hard. Thank you for providing this information. Even if it doesn't work for me, I can see how it's helped so many women.
This is not an easy thing to go through, especially alone. I don't have the means to support a child, have no desire to "wreck" (my words, not his. He, i don't think, really understands what's going on) his life either, and just don't see how it is fair to bring a child into the world in these circumstances.
I will keep you updated, and thank you so much for providing this information to women, and such clear and concise directions, and mostly, for providing this forum for us to seek support in such a lonely time.
God bless you.
Lost Clown, it's a great site you have here, and wonderful information.
I posted a question to you earlier, and am still awaiting a reply. I hope you are okay.
I did want to let you know that i started another blog about this method, and linked it back to here. I quoted the method directly from you (this is my first time so I don't have enough experience to re-write it). If you object to that, I will remove the quote from your blog. I am inclined to think that, like me, you are more concerned with just getting the information out there. I have great respect for what you've published though, so if you do object, please let me know, and I will remove/re-write.
Be well!
Would any of these things work for a 9wk gestation with an IUD in place?
Hello.
As of the past months, I've had irregular periods. In addition, I've forgotten when was the last time I had my period. I'm sure I haven't had it in December and that means either my period is late, or my irregularity is throwing me off.
Anyways, I took some chances in December; I had unprotected sex early in the month (Nov 29 - Dec 6) and some more near the end ( Dec 22 - Dec 29). Like I said, I haven't had my period in December. I took a pregnancy test on December 31 and it came out negative, but I bought some Trader Joe's Vitamin C crystals just in case. Its supposedly 100% vitamin C (as an Ascorbic Acid) and 1/4 Teaspoon contains 1000mg of Vitamin C. I must say, it tastes horrible, so I'm wondering if i can add it into soda (Coke maybe?). Will it lose any of its potency? From what you told Purple Penguin above, I know you can take it with juice. But seeing as how I have excess soda in my house, I was wondering if I can mix it with Coke.
Thank you!
And I plan to take another pregnancy test on January 9, but I'm afraid that it might be too late to use the vitamin C by then since my regular periods came on the 25th or so. =[ Help!
I think I could actually try this..though I don't know if I'm pregnant. I've missed my period but It moves around ALOT like at least every 3 to 4 months. It moves over a week...but I've been feeling nauseated for the past 3 days but that started after a heavy night of drinking on new years.
Hi there. I just wanted to follow up because I know there are a lot of anxious women out there who are interested in outcomes of this method.
Today marks a full 48 hours of this method, though i started the VitC before i could start the parsely because of the holiday. I have had zero cramping from the parsely, either the infusions or the inserts. I did feel some very slight, hardly noticeable cramping after starting the VitC. Not sure what that was about. The parsely is not uncomfortable at all, and very easy to remove. Others had mentioned that it had a white discharge on it; mine does as well and being white and odorless, I'm sure it's just normal vaginal discahrge and nothing i am at all concerned with.
Again, my pregnancy test was negative, so i don't even know if I am pregnant or not. I am now a full week late. I don't have any other preganancy symptoms either (though I am am currently fighting a strep infection. Fun. And just what i needed at this chellenging time. Hahaha!).
Thanks again Lost Clown, and i will keep you updated. I have an appointment at Planned Parenthood for pregnancy testing and full STI screening.
Hey guys,
I live in southern alberta in Canada and just to let you know, I have used this method many times to induce my period. Im 18 years old and I was raised in a small conservative town which doesnt even have an existing sexual health clinic. I am going to school to become a nurse and then I plan on opening a clinic in my hometown because the only thing they teach in the schools is abstinence. That is fine for some people but they wonder why there are so many 13 year old moms in my hometown. There is nowhere within a 4 hour radius that offers safe abortions so these girls are having children when they are still children. I think it's rediculous that in this day and age simple contraceptive and abortions are even an option. It should be the woman's choice whether or not to keep it or terminate it.
Here's to trying to help out the girls young and old. Cheers to you
1) I AM SO SORRY for not answering sooner, which is why I advise reading the comments and post closely. I have health issues that are considerably worse in the month of December (the PTSD related ones anyway) and it prevents me from checking. This WILL happen periodically.
Pinkmonkey: I don't know if it worked out, but I rarely bleed at night under any circumstances, but the parsley will cause contractions which will cause bleeding, but not cause bleeding on its own.
Need Help: it could be effervescent, it can get left in, because if it is your vagina will naturally work it out on its own. It's self cleansing like that. The climate change can be a source for your late period as well as a drastic one will really screw with your body.
KC: you're not alone. we're here to support you (as many people have dropped by to show support for everyone commenting here) Good luck
Single and Stuck: Great! Get the info out there. All I ask is you link back to Blood Sisters, which is the collective who published this information in their pamphlet Hot Pantz!
Anon 3/1/08: with an IUD you should REALLY see a doctor
Sick and Worried: I think you can add it to anything (save alcohol) and it will be ok)
Advice Agent: Good luck, and maybe less booze will make the nausea go away ;)
canadian nurse: ROCK ON! We need people like you. Thank you and cheers right back to you.
Dear Lost Clown,
I would hug the living daylights out of you if i could right now!!! (Don't think this will motivate you to pass on your location details huh? Lol).
First of all, i hope your health issues are better. Second of all, i got my periods!!! 4th of Jan (43 days since i got them in November but atleast they're here!).
I really wanted to say THANK YOU so much. To this date, i dont know if i was pregnant or not since i didn't take the test but i cried with relief when it started. I cant tell you how much i couldn't afford for things to be otherwise.
I still want to be SUPER sure so will take a home pregnancy after i'm done with the cycle. (I'm anal about stuff as is clear:)).
To everyone else, this is what i did. I was slightly under 3 weeks late for my period though. I had the parsley infusion around 4 - 6 times a day but a glassful each time. I also used the parsley inserts for the entire 24 hour period & kept replacing them each time i used the bathroom or shower. I took 6000mg the first day at random intervals(effervascent), 8000mg the second day and 10,000mg the third day (cheweable tablets both days & i tried to do that every hour at 1000 mg per hour).
On the morning of the 4th day when i woke up, i found a small stain while i washed up in the shower. Nothing until evening when i started to bleed but the flow wasnt as much as i normally get on the first day. The second day i bled a lot however & today it seems to go as it usually does.
I just want to emphasize that its important everyone drinks up on a lot of water because we're taking much higher than the normal dosage of Vitamin C.The day the bleeding started, i woke up with a sharp pain in my right side at the back (kinda where the kidney is located)and it didn't ease off until today. I kept flushing my system with water which eased the symptom.
Thanks again Lost Clown.
hi, i really need help.
i'm 14. i went to a party and got drunk, so did this guy.
we went into a room, i can only remember some things.
i don't know if we had sex for sure.
i remember it hurting, and him saying he couldn't get it in, and i remember him getting a condom at one point. but i also remember me saying "pull out"...so i'm not sure, if i was just drunk and he DID have a condom on but i didn't realize it, or if he didn't...
that night was the night after my period ended, which is the most likely time to get pregnant...
the whole week after that i had diarhea everyday.
i got a heavy period for about 4 or 5 days about 2 weeks after that night
and recently i've had bloating
i'm so scared, i really don't know what to do
if i AM pregnant, i NEED to have a miscarriage..because my parents already hate me enough..i would be kicked out of the house and i don't think they would EVER talk to me again..
i want to try the vitamin C but i don't know hwo much i should take, because i don't want to get sick. i'm only 14 and i weigh about 105...i could really use your help.
thanks .
I just came to terms with the decision that I was ready to look up alternate solutions to my pending "problems." After reading your information I was overjoyed that there is a "safe" method, howver, I counted how late I am and today marks 3 weeks. Any opinion on its success rate if I begin tomorrow or late today after gathering the necessary ingredients?
Lost Clown,
I want to thank you for being brave enough to post this information where women can find it and use it without having to go through painful operations or judgment from others.
I do not know if I was pregnant, but my period was 10 days late (its never late and I take my birth control religiously, so I was very worried) and there is no way I could go through having another child and I don't think my husband would be up for another one either. So I tried the vitamin C and I used Dong Quai herb also.
I took 500 mg of vitamin C every hour while I was awake and 550 mg of Dong Quai every 1 1/2 hours the first 4 days, then increased the frequency of that dosage to every hour. Yesterday (the 7th day) I began bleeding and it was wonderful. I had cramps from just a few hours after taking the Dong Quai, but didn't start any spotting until the 6th day and didn't have regular bleeding until the 7th day.
For anyone considering using Dong Quai, I would really recommend it because it works well with the vitamin C. Before doing so, check out the information for it at sisterzeus.com. We are all different and you need to determine what works best for you. If you find that initially the Dong Quai makes you a little dizzy, as it did me, increase the time between when you take the doses and you will find that within about 4-5 days, you will have somewhat of a tolerance to it and you can take it more frequently. I would also recommend taking it as much during the night as you can, it keeps it in your system longer and helps increase the frequency of uterine contractions.
I wish everyone on here luck with whatever path you choose!
thanks again
I'm starting the Vit. C today and will get parsley tonight. I'm about 3 days late. Wish me luck. I'm so scared :(
First of all, thank you for posting this blog. I am pro-choice, and living where I do, not many people are, and to put on top of that, not a lot of young women can afford their own ways of taking care of this situation.
I am not sure that I'm pregnant but I am about 1 week late, and I'm stressing, because I was not on bc the last two times i was active. I was just wondering, even if I'm not sure I'm pregnant could I use this to induce a period also? or should I wait until I actually see a positive sign on a test.(I have taken a test 4 times, atleast 7 days after the first time being active, they were all negative.) I want to get on my bc as quickly as possible, and I know stressing about a period usually makes it come later than usual. I'm just a worry-wort, and I want to get this thing out of my mind. I don't think that I am pregnant, but I'm not positive, and I just want to start my period so that I'm sure.
I have the Hot Pantz booklet as well and I would really recommend it to everyone who is interested in alternative methods.
I was at least two weeks late and tried vitamin C at high doses for a day + a sprig of parsely for a night and a day and a night. And started bleeding the next morning. I was just researching more to make sure once the menstration has started, can I stop with the vit. C? I'm figuring so...
I had previously taken the plan B pills about a week and a half ago. But was feeling nervous and impatient so decided to try this as well.
to the girl above me:
I don't know enough about it to advise you, but I'm figuring that if you got your period after, you should be ok. Perhaps try and find a safe, confidential clinic near you that you can go to.
Hi, it's the start of the 4th week that I'm missing my period so I'm about 7 weeks along with my pregnancy. I just started the treatment and I'm getting light cramps. However, is it too late for me or is it hopeful since I am getting some light cramps and I just started. Please, please! I'll appreciate any input on my situation.
i posted but i dont think it went through... uhm i'm about a week late and started vit c 2 days ago and parsley yesterday however i can't make the infusions @ school b/c no stove so i was wondering if just eating it was as affective. i'm really nervous and anxious. i took the vit c in just 3 large intervals. is this okay?
I tried the whole parsley weird up the vagina thing, and the vitamin c for 10 days straight every hour, even woke up 4 times in the night to do an every two hour thing. Still pregnant. Researched c and miscarriage, sometimes vitamin c is used to keep women from miscarriage.
Just got an abortion with misoprostol, via planned parenthood, pretty damn easy. It is hard to deal with this all emotionally, but aren't we all used to things that are hard to deal with?
Why didn't you post my last comment? Was it because I said I have two kids, and I love them? :-(
Hi I just found this! I am not expecting a period for about 5 days or so but I am already experiencing very very sore swollen breasts and have been for a few days. This does not happen to me normally when I am expecting a normal period AT ALL. And to be honest I just have an intuition that I am. Can I do this whole method any way even before a missed period? Thank You So MUCH
I forgot to add that I would be 18-19 days pregnant. zIt does not exactly add up to when I was supposed to be ovulating but I am not trusting this because I do not know my period that well. I had sex on day 8-9 of my cycle (day 1 being 1st day of menstruation) and i know ovulation comes later about day 14, but I really really feel like I am I have never felt like th is before
been here before: No, others have posted how much I love their children. There was probably something else. I posted this because I want every child to be loved and wanted, which is why I want women to have a choice. I'm glad that you love their kids. All kids deserve to be loved.
Mar: If you start this before your period that is just fine. It can work up to 4 weeks after a missed period, as it says in the post.
hi lost clown its MP i posted a few comments like a month ago.
well i just wanted to say thank you for your support when i needed it and giving me hope. Well i found out i was almost 17 weeks pregnant yeah 17 weeks! i had no idea i thought it was about a month, 2 at the most. In my state abortion is legal up to 25 weeks so my mom found out and i needed to get the abortion. I'm so incredibly stupid for not realizing it sooner. and im even stupider for having sex again 5 days ago with my boyfriend of almost a year. i realized that im terrified to have sex now. im scared i might be pregnant again im only 16. its been 3 weeks since ive had the abortion. it was just about the most terrifying experience of my life but luckily i was treated by amazing women who i know wouldn't judge me because of my mistake. i could never imagine bringing that baby into this world especially because i took such high doses of vitamins and herbs and i also got my gardisil shots during the period of time i was pregnant. i dont think im pregnant right now its just....im really paranoid. the doctor said im supposed to start my period soon im getting cramps so i hope i will get it, now that i can actually do this herbal induction right. my mom told me your more fertile after you've gotten pregnant. thank you lost clown for giving me hope and support.
Has anyone ever used womenonweb.org? Been thinking of it, but not suree if its for real or not!
Hey i'm starting this method today so wish me good l;uck! I was kinda concerned about the high doses of vitamin c so I asked one of my best friends who is a practicing MD ( I did NOT tell him the reason)So to anyone else that had some concerns....He said that vit c is like the hardest to ever overdose on because it is a water soluble vitamin and since it is, it's important to drink plenty of water to increase absorption and to protect your kidneys from any potential damage. also, do not take more than 500 mg/hour because any more than this your body will secrete and not use. for example don't take 1500 mg every 3 hours. Although, some can absorb this amount at a time , it all depends on body weight among other factors. So to be sure you are actually absorbing the full 6grams/day take small frequent doses as stated in the blog! Oh, and expect stomach aches, diarrea and maybe heart burn from the acidity!
Hi again. KC here and wanted to update you all, because I know when I was reading this initially, I was anxious to read the follow up posts and find out about success. They really gave me hope.
Background: had unprotected sex around the 14-15 of Dec, my "fertile" time, last period started Nov 30th. I was late, so took a pregnancy test first week of January, and it was negative. I had no other symptoms of pregnancy so I wasn't worried that much. The sperm donor and i are not in a relationship, and don't really talk much.
Went to planned parenthood on the 8th for STI screening, and another pregnancy test, and it too was negative. Again, no symptoms, so i was feeling pretty confident. I did use this method the first week of January as a precaution, and other than some very mild, barely noticeable cramping, nothing.
Then, the Thursday after the last negative test, my breasts became tender, i noticed I had little energy and was feeling tired and nauseaous. I started to worry, and made an appointment with my GP. They couldn't do an in office test, so sent me for blood testing last Wednesday. I let the sperm donor know last weekend that i wasn't so sure I was negative anymore.
He is absolutely not willing to be involved. He's 27, we hardly know each other, and he's feeling very stressed and overwhelmed too. We've talked on the phone a couple times over the past week, and it's clear to me I am very much the stronger of the two of us. He's taken a bit of a head-in-the-sand approach. I feel very bad for him that he is going through this.
Anyhow, doctor called me yesterday to tell me that i am in fact pregnant. My levels indicate about 4 weeks, which if what i had figured anyhow. I am about 3 weeks late for my period, and started this regime again yesterday (with the vitamin C and parsley inserts, making the tea right now).
I absolutely have my fingers crossed that this time it will "take". Again, i have some very mild crmaping, but that is also consistent with pregnancy, so I don't know if it means it's working or not.
I am extremely overwhelmed, because I had for the most part been able to convince myself, after 2 negative tests and a lack of symptoms, that i wasn't pregnant. I am not sure what i will do. I do know if i have this baby, I'll be doing it alone, on my limited income, with no real support from Dad or my family because they all live on the other side of the country. I know i couldn't carry to term and give up a child for adoption. I have some time to figure it out, because i can't get an abortion until 8 weeks. I have been taking folic acid just in case I decide to carry to term.
Thanks again for the information. Good luck to all of you going through this. I will keep you all posted.
KC. I hope this method works out for you. For real this time. I am really hoping that it does. You seem such a nice person that you actually feel sorry for the sperm donor. (Will you get mad if I wish his dick falls off?) Whatever you decide Good luck. I’m with you!
Thank you so much Anne. I really do appreciate that.
I was in this situation about a year ago (though we had used contraceptives, and they failed) and my partner at the time had been in the picture for a few months, and was much more mature about the whole thing. Kept in touch regularly/daily, we continued to see each other, made me dinner the night before, drove me to the clinic, picked me up etc.
And I was confident in my choice.
I'm not sure this time if i can go through that again, and much harder since i really am completely on my own this go around. To be mad at him won't solve anything, and it's hard for me to do that because I know exactly how he's feeling.
All I really want, as crazy as it sounds, is a hug. I've cried so much this weekend. I just don't want to be alone in this. So hard to hold it together sometimes. I really appreciate you guys. God bless you.
*BIG HUG and many more* Know that we’re here rooting for you. God Bless you KC.
this webpage saved my life, haha.
no seriously though, my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex (stupid, since we definitely do not want kids right now) and about a week later I had what I thought was implantation bleeding. then a few days before I was expecting my period I started getting really tired and nauseous with constant twinges of cramps. I thought I might be starting my period but that was not the case because the cramping went on for several days... I was so scared that I was pregnant so I went on google and looked up "inducing miscarriage" and I found this. started taking the vitamin c a couple days after I was supposed to get my period, and after only two days of about 10g of vitamin c I got my period. I'm having some nasty cramps, but I am so happy that this worked. thank you so much.
Hey! I wanted to say THANK U SO MUCH. It worked for me! I just woke up today with the worst cramps and then my period came! This was the start of the third day for me and I'm so glad is over with. I ended up taking less than the 6 grams for the 2 days (about 4 grams a day) because I was getting such horrible stomach aches and diarrhea that I had to limit so I really thought this would not be effective anymore. Well I started noticing yesterday ,the second day, that my breasts were no longer as swollen and sore as they were for the past week! OMG thank you so much This saved me hundreds of dollars(no insurance I still dont know how I would have gotten the money!), and it was able to stay private. Thank you so much , I can now continue my schooling and graduate next year with 2 bachelors!
Thank you so much for making this information avaliable!
Although me and my boyfriend are careful and use protection, I'm two weeks late and getting anxious.
I'm only 16, and don't feel I can talk to my parents at this stage.
I plan on starting the vitamin C and internal sprigs tomorrow, and the infusion the following day.
It was such a relief to read people's positive feedback and tips.
Thank you, and I'll be sure to keep you informed!
This is my situation. My husband had a vasactomy, so I didn't need any BC, so I thought. Now I'm 6 weeks.I tried the vit c and pars and even the dong quai for 8 days. Then I stopped for about 24 hours to get a medical abortion for my OB. Now he says he wants to wait and run tests because I have a heart condition that has worsened. I don't want to wait until the cardiologist can "get me in". This could be weeks I don't have. So can I restart the vit C formula again? What exactly is the reason you are supposed to wait a week after stopping the Vit c to have an abortion?
Well, guess this will be my last update.
Unfortunately, this method hasn't proven to be effective for me, so I have little choice but to opt for a surgical abortion again. Breaks my heart, but it has to be done. The Sperm Donor and i did meet for coffee this week, and talked, and I am feeling better about the situation and comfortable with that choice. He has agreed to pick me up following the procedure, and i am extremely fortunate to live somewhere where this service is available at no cost to me.
I'm sick as a dog with morning sickness. It hits me by 10:30 and stays with me all day/evening. At least i don't have to worry about what to make for dinner.lol I was hoping that there would be some way to negotiate being able to keep my new larger breasts as compensation for the misery I've been experiencing. (Sorry to 'make light', but it's just a terrible situation for me, and it helps me cope)
Anyhow, one last thank you to lost clown, Anne and the rest of you who've sent positive vibes my way. I truely wish all of you going through this strength, peace, and comfort with your decision. It's a terrible place to find yourself in, and I'm grateful this forum is here for us.
Be well.
Thank you so much for sharing this method. I had been searching for alternatives for a while and plan to add this to the collection for a Women's Center Piece.
Thank you for all of your help, I found myself in this situation where I felt helpless until I found this site. I'm 25 and I have 2 kids already, my younger one is just 9 months old! I tried all different types of BC and nothing was right. the shot made me gain over 30 pounds, I tried like 5 different types of pills they all made me sick as a dog. when I gave birth to my 9 month old I was scheduled to have my tubes tied, the day of the surgery the surgeon came in and told me all the complications that I could have and that since I was only 24 that my tubes could seize back together and I could still get pregnant! he also said the risk for ectopic pregnancy was really high! It scared the SHIT out of me and I didn't have the guts to go through with it. Anyway its Friday and I have had this appointment to get the IUD for like three weeks and its on Monday coming up well my period was due on the 21st and its the 25th I took a test yesterday and it was positive!! We even used condoms!!! I started the treatment last night and just a few hours ago I got mine back! Thank God I don't have to worry any more. Sorry this was so long but I just had to share.
are you supposed to use curly or flat leaf parsley?
I am a 25 year old single youth minister, and while I haven't taken a PT, I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant. My breasts have been sore and i'm just over a week late. I started the vitamin C three days ago, and started the parsley inserts last night. Today, the soreness is almost completely gone, and I woke up this morning with lots of cramps. I don't know if some of my cramps are my imagination, but I'm really hopeful that this is working and that my period will come soon! I've also started wearing one of those heat patches all day. I'd rather not get a surgical abortion since I am a minister and who knows who I would run into!! This site helps me to realize that I am not alone....keep your fingers crossed for me, i'll keep you updated.
Hi everyone,
Thank you for reading this! I'm really alone on this one. I had unprotected sex last monday with my friend who I barely see (a week and a day ago). A few days later I had to leave the country. I have a pretty irregular period but it was supposed to start about a week after i had sex. I stumbled upon your posts which give me hope. I started the vit c the following thurs, and two days after I started bleeding but only heavy for one day and spotting for two days. This is not normal for me since I have a heavy 5 day cycle from light to heavy, to light again. I thought I had gotten my period but now i'm afraid it could be implantation bleeding. Could this be implantation bleeding and not my period? Its just too early to take a pregnancy test. I started back on the vit c again and now after 2 days i'm seldomly spotting. I really don't want a baby right now!! I'm a student and have no money or support.Please help me!!!
i am about 10 days late. my last period was december 20th...so i am in my 6th week or whatever.
i tried to do the vitamin c thing but i dont think i did it consistently so maybe thats why it didn't work.
i guess i will try it again. i have 500 mg pills, so maybe i will take one EVERY hour...except when im sleeping. and ill...take more and stick one...up there?
is there anything else i can do..besides the parsley thing.
someone talked about massage?
morning after pill won't effect it will it?
and i havent taken a test. i am probably going to buy and take one tomorrow. there is one in my house but it expired 2004, so is it even worth it to use that?
also, will taking a lot of birth control pills at once do anything?
i really don't care if i get sick or hurt.
as long as im in my house and i don't die..i just cant let like...parents find out.
my exbf knows. he doesn't care so much besides he doesnt want to kill it but its my choice. besides. he's with someone else so he's not an issue at this point.
anything.
Hi...a little background: 43 yr old mother of 3. Current relationship of 3 months w/22 yr old wonderful man I plan to marry on 2/14...or 2/18 (we are not 100% yet!). 8 days late on a period. not sure if I am pregnant or not. I have been reading everything I can find online& I just wanted to offer some additional information: I read that an avocadoe a day will also help "deter" implantation & formation of the placenta, as will eating alot of figs! I am going to the health food store after I shower, & I will buy 2 pregnancy tests--one for checking to see if "I am", the other to make sure after that "I am not". I will start the Vit. C regimen later on & I will share me story & keep all posted. Other pertinent background info on my situation: I got pregnant the last time w/o penetration--just pre-cum leaking ON me. In current situation, the condom actually broke. If I am pregnant, it would be roughly 21 days of cell growth. I have been drinking parsley tea since last night.My LMP was 12/26 & ended 12/31.I am highly STRESSED at this time, & not getting proper sleep.
Thanks for being here, all of you & Lostclown thanks for having this page!
Namaste all.
Mouse
Just want to say i got my period.
or miscarried or whatever today.
i have horrid cramps.
but honestly, i like it because i know im not pregnant. lol.
i didnt do vitamin c but i did massage type things.
this sounds wierd but i kinda massaged my cervix from inside.
this probably did nothing.
but im so happy
Its MP again
well the abortion clinic said that i was supposed to get my period in 4-8 weeks. that was jan 1. i had sex like the tenth. havent done it since then. right after i did i went on the vitamin dong quai black cohosh regimen. i stopped after a few days. now a few weeks later i got my period i think. or miscarried because it was dark red with a hint of like bluish stuff. i dont know, im just so relieved, it would have been awful if right after i get an abortion i get pregnant right again. KC im here for you i got my abortion when the baby was at 17-18 weeks. hahaha im only 16. im glad that my mom was there for me. except noow shes paranoid about everything like when i go out and stuff..
its crazy how like right when i thought i was pregnant (i was already 12 weeks along i didnt know that) the movie juno comes out and jaime lynn gets pregnant and then i start seeing pregnant ladies everywhere. hahahaa anyway goodluck to everyone and i suggest right after you have sex stick 3-4 vit-c in your vagina. for the next 3 to 4 days. wear a pad. this kills the sperm that could be living in your vag. it just as effective as the morning after pill and such. it may cause irratation but dont worry that IS normal.
Here's an update: I last posted on 1/31. I stopped the parsely tea as it was just soo gross tasting. I have been doing the Vit. C, almost diligently, every hour 500mg. except during sleep. Nothing happened yet.:( I did not get the preg.tests as I had planned, as I was unable to get it w/o my 9 yr. old daughter seeing me...but now it has been 39 days since my LMP. I have no the symptoms, except darker looking veins on my breastsMy sleep is not better but I am having lucid dreams. I am tired earlier in the evenings than I normally am....

Just found out minutes ago I am pregnant. I am barely within the "under three weeks" rule and am trying everything on the list, the C, parsley, plus cohosh and other herbs, hot bath, massage, reflexology anything. I am scared out of my mind, and have told no one. Bad timing, I'm at below poverty level living 'cause of bad injuries some years ago, with a longterm boyfriend who wants no kids, period. Feel like I am living a nightmare. I am saying so many prayers for everyone on this list and thanks for all the info, you are a godsend. It is SOOOOO difficult. I never thought I would be in this place, never ever. Going to check with Planned Parenthood tomorrow (where else to go?). I don't have any friends (that's what long term illness does: makes friends disappear). Pretty much I want to die right now. I think if/when this is over, I don't want to ever have sex again. No dating no sex. Bye bye boyfriend. Whoops that was my only friend. Anyone reading this, please say prayers. Lost in the dark. :(
i have a had an abortion before and i think it is the womens choice. it is her body and her life. if she wants to end something she started that is her choice. also i think i might be pregant again, but this time i have learned my lesson. idk what i am gonna do if i am. after takin 3 pregancy test they all say NO but im still not convinced just cuz i am 2 weeks late almost so yay. but i am defintly gonna do another test and see what pops up. and if it says yes then i am comin straight back here to do all the above mentioned tips.
and thank you all so much for being brave enough to speak out and help ppl that are scared and alone in this world. but god bless and much love.
does the chewable vitamin c still work or does it hav to be pills???
I have been reading a lot of the blogs left as I just found out I'm pregnant; the situation I'm in is one that I would not think is a good one to bring a child in (the father is pushing for an abortion, and I am barely stable enough for my 2 year old daughter whose father I just had to get a protective order against!). I believe it has been about 4-5 weeks since my Last Menstrual Period. I'm scared to try some of these attempts and it not be successful in terminating the pregnancy, but yet causing severe illnesses in the fetus. If I cannot afford an abortion afterwards I don't want my child to come in this world with missing limbs or serious mental damage! At this stage in my pregnancy can some one please advice what methods I should take? Please, respond as soon as possible as I'm am becoming more and more scared the further along I get!
This is lost in the dark again. I talked to my mom finally and she is at least supportive of whatever decision (though she is more pro-life unfortunately) especially for my health. I made an appointment for Thursday. I think it's too late for herbs though I applaud all those who succeeded. They just made me very very sick (I wasn't well to start with). Boyfriend still does not know. As I try to scrape through this latest life disaster, I am reminded to not spend 24-7 crying. So, this ad is me finding out I was pregnant:
http://sports.aol.com/nfl/superbowlads?videoId=2065816
Thanks for listening. Wish me luck and prayers. I say the same for all of you for health and healing. The scared squirrel.
anon-chewable vit c is fine.
caseyleigh-there will be no defects if this doesn't work
scaredsquirrel-good luck!
Maybe I'm splitting hairs here but is it "biofavinoids" or "bioflavonoids?" I ask 'cause my vitamin C has bioflavonoids in it - lemon, to be exact. Will this decrease their effectiveness?
Can you ingest too much of the infusion? I may be the only woamn in the world but I kinda like it and have caught myself drinking too much if I don't pay attention. I think I could easily drink the entire batch in a day. But is this dangerous? I could have sworn that I read somewhere that parsley is high in vitamin C.
Also, I'm on day 2 with low-level, background crampiness (more like the burn I feel during my period) and a feeling of bloatedness. I'm taking this as a good sign.
Wonderful site and discussion! Kudos!!
Hi! lost clown please help..
I had unprotected sex February 1st and today is the 11th. I checked my ovulation calendar and I was the most fertile on that day. Now, I'm kind of confused as to when to start the procedure. Is it on the day you expect your period? My period arrives a week earlier than the previous month. (It has been like this for a year now). My last period came January 20th..so when should I start? The 13th? Or are you supposed to start as soon as it happened?
Does anyone know where I may find the dong quai pills?
Okay, I lost my virginity about a week ago, and I'm due for my period in a few days. About two days ago I started getting a brown discharge, and now I'm scared to death. I'm on BC, but I know that's sometimes not enough.
Will taking the Vitamin C help if I commence taking them the day I am due to start my period?
Just want to thank Lost Clown for all your helpful advice.....I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend about midway through my last cycle ~ at the time he used the withdrawal method, so I wasn't too worried.......until my period was late for 3 days. I usually get it like clockwork (29-31 days) so I was getting really anxious. I started looking for information right away on the internet on how to bring on a late period or miscarriage, and I came across this forum. (I also read the sisterzeus.com website extensively – which I highly recommend.)
I read this blog pretty thoroughly, and I followed your regimen the 4th day I was late. I took 500mg vitamin C on the hour about 12-14 times a day (drank a lot of water in bewteen), brewed the parsley infusion and drank about 4 cups a day, except the parsley insert kind of freaked me out because the 2nd one "disappeared" in me (and I didn't attempt another one since). On the 2nd day I added Dong Quai and Black Cohosh (about 500mg each) capsules to the mix, and by the end of the 3rd day I had a little bit of spotting. But just to be safe I continued the 4th day and there was more spotting (I also drank a lot more parsley infusion), and finally got my period going after I woke up the 5th day (39 days since my last period). I WAS SOOOOOOOOOO RELIEVED!!!!! After a week of constant anxiety and pill-popping, I can finally take a deep breath and relax knowing that I am not pregnant.
Having had 2 early-term abortions before (both at about 3 weeks pregnant) when I was 28 and again last year, I simply cannot go through another one (I took high doses of vitamin C last time I was pregnant but didn’t follow a strict program – I was late for over 10 days and ended up having a procedure that cost almost $600) ........This blog has been a true lifesaver, and I have to admit that there were times when I didn't feel or think that the regimen would work, but I held on anyway and eventually got my period (by the 5th day). I read THIS BLOG every day for information and emotional support while I was on the regimen – I’m truly grateful it works for me and that’s why I want to share my experience and provide help somehow. For those of you who might have doubts – hang in there 'cause you're not alone and I hope you'll pull through (I did). I also want to applaud Lost Clown for keeping this blog – you have been a tremendous help for women who have nowhere to turn to for help – thanks a million!!!!!
Hello
I had sex around 26 January and my time for periods is on 9-12 every month. Its been nearly 10 days that I have not had my periods and now m really worried.Around the date of my periods time I'd seen something brown and I was sure that I am going to have my periods but day by day there is no sign.I've started with Vit C tablets of 500mg in every one hour but sometimes I miss the timings and take Vit c in 1 hour 20 mins. I hope this process still works even if I am few minutes late in taking. Today till this moment I've already taken 5000mg and I plan of having 6000mg.. I have not yet done pregnancy test coz I am pretty sure that I am not pregnant but since its already 10-12 days late am tensed.We don't get parsley in the country I stay so I am just with Vit. C tablets.. I hope this works coz I would land no where If I am pregnant. I am really thankful for this blog and i'll keep u all updated if this method works for me
Where do you find all the stuff??? Like at the local store or something?
PLEASE HELP ME!!! ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND REALLY NEED HELP!?!?!?!
yes, these are things that can be found at the grocery store
Dear Lost clown..
I'd also sent message a yesterday. Yesterday I took 7000mg and I m planning to continue with 7000mg. Can u pls tell me how much MG are u suppose to have in a day atleast..Is it 6000mg a day and u sud increase the dose with each day and what is it? I also want to know if I just take Vit c then how many days does it minimum take to show the effect? coz I already wrote that we don't get parsely in the county I stay. Please reply
6000 mg only
That's what the post says, that's what's safe.
Dear Lost clown..
This is anonymous 21/2/08 03:54
Yesterday I took 7000 mg Vit c which was my 1st day of Vit c. Today also m planning to continue 7000mg but I want to know is there any such thing like 6000mg in the 1st day and you should increase the dose from the next day or what it is? I also want to know if I only take Vit C then how many days Should I take so for it to show the effect??
P.s. (As i told u we don't get Parsley in the country I stay) . Please reply.
Taking more vit c is not going to increase your chances and in fact will increase possible damage to your health. Please only take the recommended dose. The vit c is more important then the parsley, but as I said taking more is not going to increase your chances of miscarrying.
Dear Lost clown
Thanks for reply to my queries.I'd also asked u how many days should I take Vit C to show its effects as today is my 2nd day.. Coz in the notes it is written that if it is successful we should start to bleed in 2 to 3 days. Means if I only take Vit C(which is point no. 3) then also bleeding will start in 2-3 days or is it the combination of point 1 and 2.. Please reply as I want to know as to how many days does it minimum take for the medicine to take effect?
As the post says, you can continue vit c for 5 days.
Hello Lost Clown or anyone who can help me!!
Unfortuanately this methond did not work for me and have an appt on monday for a surgical abortion. I have a question as to the Anasthesia, Can I still be put to sleep or will it affect it considering the Vitamin C, Don Qua, and Black cohosh? taken
Please if anyone knows!!!!
Thanks!
Just a quick comment on Plan B, I took it within the time allotment and I took it as directed (no throwing up or anything) and it didn't work, so be ware. :-)
So if you do this when you are only two weeks post conception, and therefore you are not late yet, will you have to wait until your period is regularly scheduled to show up before you can see results? Or will you begin to bleed early?
Dear Lost Clown..
This is PR. The anonymous writer 22/2/08 . I did a pregnancy test on 23rd during the day and it showed negative. I again did the test on 24th Morning because I'd heard that the fresh morning specimen will show the better result..It again showed negative which means I am not pregnant. I was suppose to have my periods on 12th Feb and its already 24th now. Today is my 4th day of Vit C. You told me it minimum takes 5 days for vit c to effect so I am still hoping for good but there is no sign of the periods yet.. I wanted to ask you something.. I am taking Chewable vit C with orange floavor having the below compositions:
Ascrobic Acid IP -100 mg
Sodium Ascrobate IP euivalent to Ascrobic Acid - 400 mg
Please reply coz I wanted to know whether I am taking the right med or not.... Thank you in advance for your time and effort
hopethisworks: how are sure you conceived? I dod not know if it will bring your period on at all if your period isn't due for another two weeks, it works in conjunction with your natural cycle so it works the best around the time your body should normally cycle.
PR: no, what I said (in the post and numerous times in the comments) is to take vit c a MAXIMUM of 5 days (read the post). That should work, but I don't know.
This method really worked for me. I started it the day before I started taking the sugar pills from my BC (I usually start on the second day of those). Everything went as planned, and I started spotting red in the brown discharge by the second day of taking the vitamin C. I made the brew about the second day into the Vit C, too, just to make sure it worked, and I've been un-pregnant ever since! I really don't know if I was or was not pregnant, but I wanted to thank you for giving women around the world to stay away from the public humiliation of a surgical abortion, and give them a reassurance in their futures.
I am a 34 year old mother of 2 in a loving marriage for 12 years. After my 2nd child we both knew we were done having kids. We are great parents to the 2 we have but don't know how well we would do with the additional stress of another child. We had plans for my husband to get a vasectomy but kept putting it off. We have used the rhythm method in addition to withdrawl and condoms successfully for 12 years. The only 2 times I conceived before was because we screwed up and knew it. This time we have no idea when we conceived or screwed up. I have always been pro choice, especially for young or single women who are not ready for a child. I never thought I would support someone in my position to have an abortion. Well here I am desperate to hang onto the beautiful life I have which another child just does not fit in. I started this process on 2/24 and am praying that it works. My only concern is how long I should give the process before I make an appointment for a medical abortion I am about 2 weeks late today and have taken a positive pregnancy test.
Sorry to be so lengthy, but I did not find a lot of blogs out there in my situation. I feel very selfish for making this choice, because we can afford a baby. I think women who have abortions because they would not be able to provide a good home for a baby are very unselfish and I sympathize with them.
I will keep you updated. Thank you lost clown, you are awesome for doing this!!!!!!!
I would schedule one now since you can always cancel it if this method doesn't work. Good luck and thank you for sharing.
The vitamin C really helped to induce my period. I was 2 weeks late (I had taken 3 pregnancy tests so I know that I was not pregnant) and I just took 500mg vitamin c every hour, for 12 hours a day to induce my period as a precaution, and it worked!
I am a wife and mother of three. I had a c section 13 months ago and another one 5 months ago. My doctor has recomended terminating my pregnancy. This is the most horrible thing anyone has ever advised me to do, it's been 2 weeks since he told me I shouldn't carry the baby because I will be risking my life and my babies. I'm turning to this home remedy, I cannot undergo an agressive procedure and live with myself, maybe it's still not right but I have to think about my children that are here...honestly, this is against everything i believe in...the prevention of loss of life, but whose life? Mine or my unborn childs????
dear lost clown, I’m a 23 yr old wife and mother of three. MY husband and I have been having serious marital problems for some time now. Thirt-teen months ago I had a repeat c section with my second daughter, five months ago I had another one with my third daughter. Now I am pregnant again, I do not know how far along, I think two or three weeks. I have always been a believer in the prevention of the loss of life...now look at me. My doc says I shouldn’t have the baby because my womb could rupture and wed both die. He says the only chance I have at making it ok is to have a stress free pregnancy and bed rest for most of the second and likely all of the third trimester...with the problems in my marriage stress is sooooo high and with three little ones, I don’t even have bed rest at night...Now I'm faced with the hardest decision of my whole life...my life or my babies...who I desperately want to meet...this might even be my boy...I whole heartedly want to stand up for what I believe in and lay my life on the line for an innocent ones but, I have my girls to think about, they wouldn’t remember me, I want to be a part of molding the women they become. So I started the vit c 8 o clock cst without the vaginal parsley but I am going to drink the tea...I really hope it doesn’t work I don’t now how long it would take me to get over knowing what I’ve done…this truly is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to make a decision about…I want my baby but I want to live…kinda selfish I know…if it doesn’t work will the baby be ok?
sorry if I missed something about this in an earlier post...my head isn’t right. Thank you...S George TX
Dear Lost Clown
This is PR- Thank you tons for all these information. U've really been a life saver for me as well as other womans.
Well I started my periods yesterday which was after 5th day of taking Vit C. Even after the negative test of the home pregnancy 2 times I was still not 100% sure that I've not conceived as I was already 14 late late.
This blog had really given me lot of hope but sometimes I was like shit guess its not working types..ha ha .After the 5 days dose of vit C, on the 6th day around 10am I was like Yipeeee.. I'd my periods.
To all the woman who r tying this method ..here is what I did:
On the 1st day of Vit C I took 7000mg and since I found out the prescribed dose is 6000mg a day.. then from the 2nd day I started taking 6000mg(But the max I'd taken after the day 1st is sometimes 6500mg a day coz I use to forget how much mg i'd taken and use to take another 500 mg thinking just incase if i've not completed my dose)So after regular 1 hr and sometimes 1.5 hrs of gaping for 5 days .....here am I sharing my success with you all.
Once again thanx you Lost clown for ur help and support!!
hi, I hope your still around giving advice, well I'm not due for my period till next Thursday and I still haven't hit the 10 mark to try taking a pregnancy test, but after find the evidence of a broken condom and hitting two of the pregnancy symptoms (frequent urination and fatigue... along with stomach pains no cramps and oddly enough frequent bowl movements) I'm freaking out I had sex on the 20th of this month. I'm 18 years of age, and my question is where can I possibly get a hold on vitamin c without the Bioflavonoids? I bumped into one product that doesn't seem to mention having it.
rite aid vitamin c < is it possible to use this with no problem? while I can get the Dong Quai and parsley no problem... I just don't want to get a hold on the wrong vitamin c.
I've been to this blog before during my first scare and while I never tried it I'm more so willing to now. I get all the instructions and I have the time for it... well the time to make it.
I really need to know about the vitamin c, even if somehow I'm not pregnate I want my period to come fast.
dear lost clown, today will be my third day taking the vit c...so far i have had some mild cramping...im so scared...when i urinate it burns...i know there is no vd, i just had a check up and my pap was norm...is this a side effect of the vit c and parsley drink, im not using the vag parsley??? last night my vagina were very hot...like it was on fire...is this a side normal effect?? sg
Hi lost clown, my name is Purple 35my question is when you tried it did you know you were pregnant and if yes how long after did you start the prodecure.
As I am 2 days late but did not get myself tested yet but would like to start with the vit C first.
please advise.
Purple35
If this doesn't work and you go to term there should be no harm to the fetus.
Anon 22:05-that vit c should work perfectly
Anon 5:30-I've never heard of that happening, I'd see a doctor.
Purple35-I didn't always know I was pregnant, I just always started when my period was supposed to come. (once I did know for sure and another time when it worked I definitely knew from the size of the clumps that I was.) Go ahead and start would be my advice.
Thanks soo much!
I'll buy it later today if not Saturday.
dear lost clown, Ive been taking the vit c for four days now, I am three weeks late and i took a pregnancy test...it was pos.
do you think it is too late for this to work??? I was raped and i cant bare to tell my family what im going through, i have to try to take care of this on my own. please help
scared and alone
Hi there!
First of all like everyone else out there I'd like to thank you so much Lost Clown for this invaluable information, I've been going out of my mind with worry for the past week, so reading all of these comments had put my mind (somewhat) at ease.
I had sex whereby the condom slipped off 8 days ago on Friday 22 February.
I was horrified to discover that the condom slipped off, so I went about getting the Morning After pill (NorLevo - I'd love to hear from anyone else with experience of it?) 10 hours later.
In googling up NorLevo and it's success/failure rates I also decided to check up on my cycle - tbh I never kept track of it before, and again I was horrified to discover that I was slap bang in the middle of my fertile period when I had my mishap with the condom.
So for the past week I've been sick with worry convincing myself that the Morning After Pill hasn't worked.
I had my last period 2nd February, I'm not sure how long my cycles are as again, I haven't been keeping track, but my last menstrual period before the one on 2nd February was on the 1st Jan. So I'm guessing my cycle is around 32 days long. Going by this I should be expecting my period to come within the next few days.
To help induce my period and put these horrible doubts and fears out of my mind I've been taking 550mg of Vitamin C (but it also contains 15mg of Zinc - could I OD on zinc? Or would it hinder the properties of the Vitamin C?) on the hour every hour since this morning.
I tried to get fresh parsley but couldn't find any so I'll go in search again tomorrow.
I'm from Ireland where abortion is illegal, and also my family are very Pro-Life and I couldn't bear to put them through the stress and worry of me having to have a surgical abortion over in England if it came to that. Plus it would cost me over £2,500.
So I was sooooo grateful to come across this site someone on here published a while back; http://www.womenonweb.org It seems that you can get the Abortion Pill (RU486) delivered straight to your door for a simple donation of just E70 Euro.
I feel so much more relieved now knowing that if the Morning After Pill doesn't work, and neither does the Vitamin C then I have this site as a last resort. I already feel like there's a huge weight lifted knowing that site is there.
If anyone has any experience of using this site or know's it's legit, I would love to hear your comments on it.
Gosh sorry about the long post.. I can be a bit of a rambler! It's just so good to be able to talk as I haven't told anyone about my fears/situation yet, so just being able to let it all out is relief in itself too.
I wish each and every one of you all, all the best, I hope everything works out for you. Wish me luck too! :)
Lost Clown, I'm sorry to hear of your painful disability from which you suffer, I hope all is well with you these days. Again, thank you so much for publicising this info.
Thanks for reading!

Lost Clown, I want to thank you for posting this information. Two months ago I had a surgical abortion at 6 weeks. It's not really what I wanted, but it was for the best. I'm still in school and I just couldn't have afforded to properly love and care for a child. The abortion wasn't the worst experience of my life, everyone at the office was really nice and non-judgemental, but the protesters outside were awful, they were screaming disgusting things and just being very vulgar. The other thing I didn't like was the anaesthesia. I had an hour and a half car-ride home and was either hyperventilating or crying the whole way home. It really freaked my boyfriend out. It's not something I ever want to do again, so again, THANK YOU for posting this.
I wish I found your post sooner. I would have loved to try this before putting my body through a surgical abortion. I looked forever for information on how to naturally induce a miscarriage, but I didn't find out until last week that the technical term was "herbally."
I admire your bravery for posting this method, and from the looks of it, it's been safe and successful for almost everyone that's tried it. I will definitely make a note of your post for myself and share it with any of my friends that need it.
:-)

Thanks for the info Lost Clown - I am really hoping this works. Can you take 6 doses of 1000 mgs of vit c or should you be taking 12 doses of 500 mg? Does it matter? Let me know. Thanks for the help!
I really appreciate you posting this, and dealing with how much feedback you've apparently had!! I am 99% sure I'm not pregnant, so that's good, but I still want to induce my period. I'm really irregular, so it's hard to tell when I'm "late".
I started with the parsley and am going to go get the vitamin C as soon as I'm done posting, but I was just wondering if it's a big problem to not take as much vitamin C, or if it was a vital part. I tend to be pretty sensitive to vitamin intake due to a medical condition, and am a little worried about suddenly increasing my intake. If it's vital though, I can deal with it (I just get flu-like symptoms for a few days if I screw up my vitamin intake).
Thank you so much!!
I only weigh about 105lbs. and I'm 5'4". I tried the Vitamin C for about a day, and become pretty sick. I started vomiting, got a fever, and felt really weak/dizzy. I'm wondering if my size might have affected this. I stopped taking it after that one day, because I got really worried. I've had two negative pregnancy tests, but I'm still very concerned at the chance of being pregnant. I'm only 18 and my mom would kill me if she knew about this. I thought I had gotten my period at the usual time, but I've barely bled and it has been darker than normal. I don't have tender breasts, or anything like that, but I'm not sure what else might have caused this. Any ideas? Do you think there is any chance still that I am pregnant?
i need to know how far along you were when you tried to do this...thanks.
Ugh, I don't know how you drink the parsley infusion! I tried tonight and it was nasty. I know I have to though so I let it steep longer. I just read your tip about honey, hopefully that helps.
Do you know if just taking the Vitamin C will induce the miscarriage, alone?
I had a medical abortion in January, worst experience of my life (medical=pills) I've had normal miscarriages before and have never experienced anything as horrific as waking up bleeding like I did after the medical abortion...and I've actually given birth! Less blood with that!
ps. I don't have insurance so I can't see a doctor, but after my abortion on the 20th of January, I bled for 5 1/2 weeks, and haven't gotten my period since, a test earlier this week was negative, and yesterday it was positive, so I'm assuming I'm very early along because in the past, a negative for me means very early on. But I'm worried I'm further than I think, since I started bleeding last on Jan. 20th. I really wish I had insurance so I just knew how far along I was!
Hey, i noticede a few of the earlier comments mentioning something called 'plab B' and i was just curious as to what that actually was.
i have a question and would really appreciate some help! im on birth control, and normally use condoms too but a few weeks ago me and my boyfriend didnt use a condom and now i am worried about being pregnant. im expecting my period in about 5 days but would like to try the vitamin c now just to be sure. is this safe? and also, is it safe to continue taking birth control, or should i stop for now?
Hi there. I never thought I would do this but I am about to go and try above suggestions with fingers crossed I hope it will work for me. I just thought that if some people are on the bc pill like myself and are following this method then they need to realise that Vit C can cancel out the pill so perhaps after finishing this method they need to use other bc methods for a couple of weeks. I know because I got pregnant after taking Vit C on the pill. My doc says it happens more than we know so if that helps some people then.... all good.
Hi there. I'm 16 years old and I had sex with this guy I've been seeing on and off, but the condom broke and I may have gotten pregnant but I somewhat doubt it. It has been about 5 days since the event and I'm wondering if I should even consider doing the treatment so early on at this point. I am definitely not considering going through with the pregnancy whatsoever. Any advice? Thanks. You can refer to me as, erm, Orange.
I Started trying this method but the vitamin C just seems to calm my stomach (I was having some insane morning sickness), So im not sure if the Vitamin C I'm using is the right one. And Ive been taking 500mg an hour, 12 doses a day making 6000mg just like in step 3.
Hi Everyone. This is KK
OMG I love this blog. It is so wonderful that I found something like this...you are such a blessing lost clown. I am so happy there is no judgement, because I went to stupid yahoo answers and every person who commented on someone about wanting an abortion/miscarriage made that person feel like crap and that they were evil.
I dont think any of us are evil we just need help. I bet no one in here planned to get pregnant on purpose, it just happens. I know there are people who wish they were pregnant, I wish me and that person could switch places.
I have had a previous abortion, over a year and half ago with my ex boyfriend. I promised myself I could never go through with a clinical abortion again! That time around I was 8 weeks pregnant with my boyfriend of 2 years and we both decided it was best because we were both still young and I was in school.
I am no longer with my ex, and I am now talking to a new guy. Me and this new guy have been talking for 6months and havent actually had sexual intercourse. What we did was pretty much play with each others genitalia for the last couple of months, but this month I think I messed up. I let him put his head of his penis near my vagina and sometimes he would thrust inside, but to quickly take it out.
And we did it alot. My last period was Febuary 18th, and today is MArch 22nd so technically I am 4 days late of having my period and I am always early or right on time. I have not taken a pregnancy test, but I just know I am pregnant(but I am also in denial). My breast are larger(but not swollen or tender) and I urinate alot.
The problem is that I havent even told the guy my concern. I am scared because the other day ironically we were talking about pregnancies and abortions and he said he would never agree to an abortion and if the girl really wanted one, he wouldnt pay and would not talk to the girl ever again. And he also said if the girl did have an abortion, to do it without his knowledge because it would hurt him that his first born was terminated.
I cant tell him, but I want to so badly! I know if I tell him he would not want to talk to me ever. So basically I am doing this procedure to benefit the both of us. I am still in school, and he is just working. I would hate to break the news to him that I am planning to abort his child or that I think I am with child...should I tell him?
P.S. I started the procedure today (yay). The sprig is inserted into my vajay-jay (slight cramping already), I took my first 500mg of VitC and the tea is settling as we speak. Everyone please pray that it works and I will keep you all posted and if anyone else is doing this I pray for you as well.
So happy I am not the only one seeking answers. Thanks lost clown! :)
I just want to say thank you very much to the kind ladies who posted here. My period was 4 days late and i was in panic mode. (was quite sure i wasnt pregnant but still scared nevertheless). Anyways i decided to try the vit C, i took 1000mg and within the hour i got my period.
hi i was wondering if i chpoed the parsely before adding water?? and if i add more then the amount you said will it make a diffrence??
hi i was wondering if smoking make a diffrence??
I have attempted reading through as many posts as possible trying to find an answer for my question. I started the vitamin C, parsley tincture and insertion yesterday. Here is my issue in my haste or foggy mind I thought I had found a vitamin C that was without rose hips, but upon further inspection this morning I found that they are in there. I am having some mild cramping (I assume from the parsley).
Is it too late to switch my vitamin C? Do you think if I flush my system with tons of water I might be able to clear out the Hose Hip in time to have this work?
I am stressing that this mistake will lead me to a conventional abortion. Believe me this is the last thing I can not only afford, but want to do.
Hey Everyone this is KK again.
I just want to let everyone know that is has worked for me! This is truely a blessing and lost clown you are a blessing for posting this blog.
I did exactly what lost clown said; made the infusion parsely tea, stuck the parsley sprigs up my who-ha (lol), and did the 500mg Vitamin C pill consistently every hour. I started at 2pm Saturday and stop Sunday morning (yay).
How I knew it was working because I was changing out my last sprig and trying to replace it with a new one and when I took the old one out there was a little bit of blood on my finger. Then i immediately felt the cramping (I felt the cramping when I did it the first time too) and I knew something was working. I was glad to stop taking those Vitamin C pills because I was getting kind of sick to my stomach after the last one. So when I woke up Sunday morning there was some spotting, and then an hour later there was actual blood! Two hours after that the sprig that was in there released from me into the toliet ( I know yuck)and that when I knew it worked. I am still bleeding some like my regular period but I am going to still take a pregnancy test just to make sure.
Thanks again lost clown and will keep you posted!
This truely saved me a piece of mind (and money; I only spent $8 for everything).
Anneke--vit C with rose hips worked for me, as you can see below--I think you will be fine to switch.
Thank you so much, lost clown, for putting this information out there, and to everyone who's posted to offer additional info as well. I used this method with success, and since I spent a week or so obsessively reading and rereading the comments looking for clues as to whether it was going to work for me, I wanted to post about my own experience in hopes it will help someone.
long story short--I am not certain I was pregnant. My cycles can go as short as 26 days or as long as 35 though they are usually around 28-30. Never longer than 35, though. I started this method on day 39 and finally started bleeding on day 46. Though my period was very late I think I may not have been pregnant because I had no other symptoms and I have been traveling, which could have caused a delayed period, I guess. I have ALWAYS used birth control, but a year ago around this same time I did get accidentally pregnant (why, after 20+ years of being sexually active with no pregnancy scares I seem to have suddenly turned fertile in my late 30s is anyone's guess) and that time I knew even before my period was late--first I dreamed I was pregnant, then I was sick, bloated, sore, tired, etc. None of that happened this time. Just no period.
Last year I had an abortion using mifepristone (the RU-486 drug). It was the right decision. But I didn't want to go through that again. And right now I am in a foreign country where I don't know the language--I don't even know where to buy a pregnancy test--and (I looked it up) you can't get RU-486, only a surgical abortion, which scares me. I didn't want to tell anyone--not my partner, who went through the abortion with me last year--I just wanted to deal with it myself.
anyway, here's how it worked for me: I had a bottle of vitamin C with stupid rose hips (argh!) I'd brought with me but since according to lost clown and others that seemed to work okay for people, I started taking 6000-7000 mg a day (because sometimes I would forget if I'd taken a pill and take another to be sure). Couldn't find parsley where I am right now. I started taking the vitamin C last Tuesday. I alternated between being so scared it wouldn't work for me and confidence it would (but mostly scared). I had no side effects from the vitamin C--no hot flashes, stomach upsets, etc. For the first few days I would feel little twinges in my abdomen so mild I thought I might have imagined them. On Friday afternoon I felt the first really sharp twinge on my left side. Optimistically, I started wearing a panty liner. Saturday afternoon I had some stuff to do and couldn't take any vit C for 5 hours, and when I got home I had the lightest of lightest of discharges on the pad--kind of beige. Sunday I woke up with more mild abdominal cramping, as the day went on it they came steadier and a little stronger, with some lower back pain. Missed some pills again in the afternoon (both days I made up the dosage before bed) and had more, slightly darker discharge Sunday night. Monday morning and through the afternoon I had pink spotting on tissue when I wiped. I had run out of vit C by Monday morning (and lost clown says don't take it any longer than that anyway). By Monday night the spotting was heavy enough to leave blood on a pad and when I woke up yesterday, Tuesday, one week after starting the vitamin C, I had my period. I've never been so glad to see it!
I hope this helps someone out there. It's a slow method and you think you might die waiting for the week or so it takes it to work (it's probably faster with the parsley), but it does work for some of us. Good luck to everyone, unplanned pregnancies can happen to anyone, even people who are sterilized. And thank you again lost clown, I am so grateful for this.

Hi there! Ummm I was just wondering if alot of women with a positive test have been successfull with this method? I tried to read through most of the comments but there are alot. Thank you so much for posting this, My husband is a firm believer of pro-life, and I dont think he understands how worried I am. He currently took a job 4 hours away from myself and our two kids,and just know that I wont be able to do this alone. I am terrified! Day two of the c and parsley, and I am almost 5 weeks pregnant. I will let you know if it works for me. Thank you again!
My last period was on the 26th Feb, and I usually get very severe period pain, so I was looking for ways of bringing my period on faster for this cycle. Whilst I was reading over this site, I read a post from a woman saying "I got pregnant the last time w/o penetration--just pre-cum leaking ON me. "
I have been with my current boyfriend for 18 months and I have never had sex before, so I have never worried about falling pregnant because of this, but after reading of this persons experience I really freaked out... I'm only two days late, but now I'm SO worried...
What is pre-cum? And if my boyfriend has pressed against me before, but never penetrated me, am I likely to be pregnant??
Thanks..

CM again..
Can you use Parsley flakes for the parsley infusions? I only have a limited supply of fresh parsley, and was saving that to use as the pessary... Will using parsley flakes in the infusions be as effective? or should i take larger amounts or something?
Thanks for all this info..
~CM
Fresh parsley is much more potent then the dried parsley. You don't need too much for inserts (6 sprigs for 3 days).
Fresh is so much better.
i have a question and im hoping someone out there can answer for me!! i was worried about being pregnant and didnt expect my period for a few days, so i took the vitamin c for 4 days and did the parsely drink for 2 days. i got my period on time(yay!) but im wondering if there is still a chance of being pregnant? ive heard of people still getting their period while pregnant, so if i was, would i still have the regular period symptoms(cramps, bloating, etc)?
i would appreciate an answer from anyone!!
thanks!

Today is day 4, and My stomach has been cramping since yesterday. It is sore all the time, but I can feel the cramping in by back if I press on my stomach, I was just wondering if this is common? Or if I should go see my doctor about it. I have an appointment on Monday, but being friday today no clinics are open here on weekends. Also (sorry for so many questions) Can you get cramps and pains if the concoction doesnt work? Thank You so much, This is a wonderful place for women to come to if they are worried and stressed and have no one to talk to. It has stopped me from crying probably 7 or 8 times now! Thank You Again!
Hello! I was wondering if there was any specific way I should insert the parsley...
Just with your fingers! (Like a sea sponge or a keeper, which are alternates to tampons).
It's ok as long as you wash your hands before you do it!
Lost Clown, I am so glad I found your site! I really really really need more info on this! Please send me an email at divaluv03@yahoo.com so I can talk to you about this!
Thank you!
ok i am close to 5 1/2 months pregnant and am barely starting to show and have gained about 8 pounds and was wondering will your method still work if im this far along?????
Update: Took the Vitamin C for 5 days and the parsley for 2. Stopped after day 5 and on Day 6 had Bright red for about a day. I had a ultrasound yesterday and because I am only 6 weeks they said that nothing could be seen yet. My question would be, If I only bled for a day But I am still cramping 3 days later Should I take another pregnancy test or should I just be patient? Will something else happen?
To Lost Clown,
man, am i glad there are people like you out there, and I'm so relieved I found your site. I had an abortion last year, because i was 19, my relationship wasn't the most stable, and frankly, i couldn't handle disappointing my family and friends. Young mothers are social outcasts, and its the same people who go 'thou shalt not kill the unborn zygote!' that would have looked at me, a mother at 19 and thought, 'you little slut'. Unfortunately, I would have thought the same about young mothers before I was in that situation. My partner is allergic to latex and I need a tonne of blood tests for the pill because of a clotting history in my family. I don't have medical insurance and don't qualify for insurance here in Australia as I am not a perm.resident or a citizen. It will cost me over $700 aus dollars (about 650 us) for an abortion, whether medical or surgical and I just can't afford that again. So when I saw your site I was relieved. RU486 is not legal here yet. So this gives me hope. I'm 20 now, and my bf and I tried to be careful and thought we were ok, but I did a preg. test yesterday and its positive. I'm about a week, maybe nearly 2 from my period being due. So i am about 4 weeks nearly 5 weeks pregnant. I can't go through another abortion so I'm going to give this a go. Again, thank you. As for Granny, you have no idea what you're capable of until you're in that situation so don't judge. As the bible says more than once (you seem like the type), 'Judge not, lest ye be judged' and 'let he (or she) who is without sin cast the first stone'. Keep that in mind before you start spouting your misinformed hate crap about.

Hi Everyone,
My last period was on 17th February - I started taking vitamin c on sunday afternoon (31st March) I've been taking 1000mg every hour or so throughout the day and trying to wake up a couple of times during the night to take it. I've also been doing the parsley thing as well as taking 1000mg dong quai every four hours.
So far nothing has happened and I'm wondering whether it ever will.
Any extra advice appreciated.
(ANXIOUS - UK)
Woo! Thank you so much Lost Clown! This saved my life. I'm so happy that this worked for me:)
hi lost clown. im new here, i just discovered your site. i think its great. i haven't tried it yet. i just wish it would work. i read earlier that vit c can work on its own. the thing is im about 1 week delayed from my menstruation already. im scared. really scared. ill update you once it works... thank you so much
Hello Lost Clown and women out there~
I wanted to say thank for posting this blog. I started the process on March 24th after two positive pregnancy reports. I mistakenly started with vita c w/ rose hips. I was patient and continued the process. I was having minor cramping, but no show. I did vita c up until four days ago. I decided that my body just wasn't going to let go (I am a fertile myrtle). I scheduled an a appointment for and abortion. My RH blood report was faxed in and I sold some belongings in order to pay for the procedure. I am to go in on Monday morning. This morning (Saturday) I I had some cramping, but nothing out of the ordinary of what I had been feeling since I started this process. When I went to the bathroom I realized I was spotting and by this afternoon I was bleeding. I haven't passed any major clots or anything, but believe that my body finally rejected this pregnancy. I still plan on getting checked out on Monday, however I am feeling positive that this worked.
Thank you again and remember it may not be immediate, but it is better than the alternatives.
Hi.
I just had a surgical abortion 3 months ago. I'm nearly 40. You'd think that I would know better....
I have two wonderful kids (with an ex-husband), but don't want another (nor does my wonderful BF). But guess what? the universe has different ideas. I'm pregnant AGAIN.
Unfortunately, I usually take pretty high doses of Vit C. usually 4 grams a day. do you think it'll still work? I'm only 4 days late....
Hi. I posted earlier. being nearly 40 and 3 months post surgical abortion. I normally, although not so much in the last week, take around 4 grams of vitamin c a day (always with bioflavinoids).
I've started the parsley tea and inserts and have been taking about 4 grams of vit c (without bioflavs) every hour or two. I forgot to add earlier that I did get Plan B and took it 3 weeks ago because I felt like I ovulated the day after sex. maybe I did or maybe I didn't, but it didn't work and here I am.
I KNOW this will work but I had already made an appt with a doc BEFORE I found this site.
I am so encouraged by the stories that I've read on this site and others.
I do adventure sports on the weekends and am just a little bummed about missing out this weekend, but I know that I have to take care of myself and my body will do what it needs to do..... I am just hoping that my regular dosing of Vitamin c (irony that it is, because I know it's what keeps me so healthy) doesn't interfere with the efficacy of the vit c for this purpose.
have you heard anything about that?
Hi all,
I am 10 days passed my missed period and am trying this method right now (day 2). On another website with similar info (www.sisterzeus.com) I read alot of things saying that if trying the herbal induced miscarriage is not successful that you DEFINITELY should follow up with a clinical abortion because there is a high chance of it causing harm to the fetus. I read through alot of these posts and did not see this information here, I thought I would share.
Thanks again for posting this information, it is nice to have a fairly safe and more natural alternative to clinical abortions. And much cheaper.
thank you so much for posting this! you've just totally saved my ass!
im living with my gramma and i cant have a jar of parsley tea in the counter. i was wondering if i could make it in smaller doses? thanks-hannah
Hi
How do I make the infusion? How many leaves of parsley per 2.5 cups? Thanks
Hey there Lost Clown, I'm nervous, my incident occurred just after my period and I'm wondering if it is wise to start with the treatment right away, or wait until my next period to see? I'd really like to start right away but I'd like to check in with you first. I had already inserted parsley into myself but I took it out with in 5 minutes because it occurred to me that perhaps it would be harmful to start too soon? Thank you ever so for whatever input you give.
hey lost clown! som im 3 days late
and i've done the vitamin c thing when you put it in the vagina after unprotected sex but i just didt like once after it and never changes it like you said does that still works??
and also i already got the vitamin c but what does "rose hips" means ?like on the vitamin c.
and where could i find the parsley tea because i have no idea?
help me please!!
i would appreciate it! :( thank you
Hi lost clown! im not sure if im pregnant or not but im glad that i ran across your website. My last period was March 13th and my cycles last around 29-30 days more or less. My fiance and I had sex on April 2nd and apparently that is close to the end of my fertile period and i can still get pregnant. I did have some solid white colored, sticky mucus like secretion after sex...what does that mean? I recall having fertile mucus show earlier in the week before the 2nd. The next week i got some cramping that felt like i was going to get my period but it was on and off. I also had sore breasts on the 12th but i had that same symptom last month before my period. I haven't had any morning sickness, tiredness or anything. Just the sore, slightly swollen breasts, not even my nipples that were sore just my breasts which, after i started taking the Vit C has gone away. I started taking Vit C on the 12th which is before my period is expected. Then again it varies a couple of days. I should've started by today the 13th but i haven't yet. I took 5000mg on the 12th. I have also added dong quai and black cohosh and i plan on getting parsely as soon as i can and take that as well. Is there anything else that i should do to get the ball rolling. Is it possible that im not even pregnant and im freaking out for no reason? I am getting on and off cramping and am going to really stick to the routine for the next 5 to 6 days. Im hoping it'll work. Im also using imaging as i've seen some people have had success in "connecting" with the unborn child and letting it know that right now isn't the time. Im praying that this will work. Im working on fixing my relationship with my parents and this isn't something that is going to help. Wish me luck and good luck to all the others who are using this method.
I posted earlier saying that i had started Vit C, Dong Quai, and Black Cohosh after i had cramping earlier in the week and slightly enlarged and sore breasts. I just started my period today two and a half days after when i had expected my period. Im not sure whether the pills had anything to do with it or not but all i can say is that im extremely relived. Just be careful and watch how much you take and if your gut says to stop and not take any more dont take any more. I made the mistake yesterday of taking an extra dosage of Vit C, Dong Quai, and Black Cohosh and woke up a few hours later extremely nauseated and i didn't take anything until about 1pm to give my body rest and flush my system a little bit. Then i took three doses of 1000mg of Vit C on 2 hr intervals and one dose of appx 1100mg of Dong Quai at 2pm and was planning to take another at 6pm but i started a little before then. I did follow the regiment strictly for the past two days and let it go a little today to give my body a break. The first day i took just Vit C and completed about 5000mg. The next day i took appx 10000mg. I would recomend taking probably at max 7000mg-8000mg. Definately not more then that. I took the Dong Quai and Black Cohosh at appx 1100mg every 4 hrs which is the safest dosing other then what is recomended on the bottle. Eat well when doing this because i do think that if you aren't eating enough it does affect your body a lot more. Drink a lot of water as well. Be careful while using Black Cohosh because i think that was the herb i mainly got side effects from rather then the Dong Quai. Do use them with caution, eat food before taking them. Do not use Dong Quai after bleeding has been established for it can cause excess bleeding. Research well before you start taking herbs that you dont know about. I believe that Lost Clowns method is the safest way to get your period back but if you feel the need to add something else to help the process along sister zeuses site is very informative and helpful. here is the link:

Good Luck to everyone else and please everyone stay safe!! My prayers are with you all!!
hi. just thought i'd update you.
im not sure it worked for me. i insterted the parsley, and drank the tea. took the vitamin c(and still taking it) as well, i had some cramping here and there. some light spotting, but no heavy bleeding. i also took a test and it turned out negative, but i still havent gotten my period. im now a week late. im thinking about going to a doctor now and seeing whats going on. if indeed i am(hoping im not) im gonna get a clinical procedure. im kinda scared about that, but i know its what needs to be done.
Hey, So I think im pregnant. I am about 1 1/2- 2 weeks late. Ive been reading a lot of great info from the site sisterzues. Well I went to rite-aid today and I got vitamin c pills, dong quai, and black cohosh. I have only been using them for about maybe 16 hours, I already feel cramping. I am still scared I may not get my period. Things just always seem to not work out for me at all. But I am going to get the parsley today. I am going to use it as a tea and vaginally. DO you think I have a chance of all of these working? Im trying my hardest. I cant have a child right now. I have a lot going on. And ive had an abortion at a clinic before I still have nightmares. It was the worst expirience of my life!! I DO NOT EVER recommend getting one done unless you have to. But anyway.. With all that I am doing... DO you think I will have a chance of this working. I am cramping right now ^__^
Where can I buy Vitamin C capsules or pills without the Bioflavin or Rose-Hips?
dear lost clown! HELP!!! i might be pregnant... not really sure it has been only 2 weeks since i had sex, but im scared currently im in asia for tourism so i dont know if i can get any of these things.... but my period is no supposed to come for another week.... so if i just find the vit c can i start just with that??? and start the parsley thing later you think???? please im DESPERATE!!! i would be death if i was really pregnant..... cant wait to hear from you.....
tourist
PS: thanks for all the support.... we are free to choose what to do with our bodies and im sure all those prolife people if they were stuck in this situation would not have the baby..... or as you say and you are quite right its only a cell right now.... so let the women chose!!!
Hello, I'm a 15 year old potentially pregnant girl. If I aren't pregnant does this pose a threat to myself? Also do you know any simpler ways almost, if its very very early in the potential pregnancy.
I am aware this is potentially dangerous then everything is.
As an additional comment I would like to add that this probably helps a lot of young girls who don't want to 'bother' their parents about something like this and such, and it seems very simple to find the items needed to make it.
please reply via e-mail if possible.

I'm about a week late and i already tried this method before i was late, then i stopped. I started again the day my period was due and nothing has happened. I do get heavy cramping and hot flashes, as well as terrible headaches. It feels as if my period is coming but nothing happens. My boobs are swollen but i have not gained any weight. Any recommendations?
Pro Lifers confuse me a lot. I believe it is because they are confused themselves. Pro Choice doesn't mean were all pro abortion it means were pro choice just like it sounds. There is a plethora of rational reasons a person might want to exercise choice. You can argue against the validity of such choices however there is always at least one that will evade your argument. If a person has a healthy reproductive system and intends to have a number of children they may want to have an abortion if a pregnancy endangers their life or their future furtility. Either way you look at it in that case an abortion would allow life as opposed to the alternative of either death or no possibility for future births. Pro lifers usually preach some religious belief to be the rationale for their campaign... but would their god throw away a sole if it were aborted before it were to live?? Doesn't sound like a god I would like to live under.
The truth is pro choice is about liberty and opportunity. You have to be a little more far-sighted when considering the consequences. Just as an increase in gun control would result in more gun violence because only law abiding citizens would be effected, restrictions or bans on abortions would also increase the death rate and abortion rate. This is because rather than a qualified proffessional providing an abortion after proper counseling you would have med school drop outs pedeling them on the street corners. They would be cheaper more dangerous but not less used. Its the same situation as illegal drugs.
If you don't believe in abortion... simply don't have one. But dont impose your will on everybody else, especially not because your idea of religion says so. That is very arrogant to insist that you are correct and others should follow your ways. Besides, granny grump needs to cool her jets... this blog isn't about abortion its about alternatives to birth control. An early embryo is one or more undifferentiated cells and the body often rejects them naturally.
Taking the rights away from people is never the answer.
Hi
I would definitely try this,my problem is a bit different,I just want my period back!I had a miscarriage and a D&C back in February didnt got my period yet.Doctor prescribed me norethisterone I stopped 14 days ago still no period.Unlike all of you I want to get pregnant,but without a period I can not even try.I am getting mad that the D&C damaged my uterus,had 2 D&C so far both after miscarriages,first thing today I will buy parsley and vitamin C.Will let you know the outcome,it is everybody's choice to have babies.But for some it is very difficult.
Hi,
I am pregnant, confirmed with a test. Last month I had my period on March 19. But, it only lasted 3 days instead of six like usually. I ignore this because it seems like nothing is out of the ordinary. But then i started noticing weight gain and bigger breasts (which is really noticible since I am only 105 pounds). So this month comes and I get no period on April 19 like I should. So, I think I am starting my sixth week if I was pregnant and still had my period last month. Do you think at this point Vit C, parsley, and Dong Quai will be effective? Will the embryo be difficult to pass, and how big will it be? Also, will parsley sprigs get in the way of the embryo coming out?
Thanks
Hi, it's me again. You can combine my posts in one or not post the last two if you want, but I have yet another question. What about eating the parsley? Will that be as effective as the tea or no? it would make sense that the two methods will has the same result, right? So I am eating the parsley after i drink the tea steeped from it. I would prefer just to eat it...
hey. ok so i had an incident coming up on 72 hrs ago. the guy i was with said he didn't know if the condom broke and neither do i. we were both very inebriated and i am beating my self up for this because it was the most irresponsible thing i've ever done. my cycle has always been irregular, so i can never tell when i'm ovulating. i went for Plan B about 8 hrs after, took the course, and even though the risk is 1% or less, i'm still afraid i might be pregnant. i am taking about 1000 mg Rutin (started today), and if i absolutely must i will try this. will it induce a period? because that's all i'm praying for is a damn period.
if you can, please reply fast. i'm freaking out about this.
Will affect you harmfully in any way if you do it but turn out to not be pregnant?
To everyone who hasn't missed their period yet: I would wait and see. Or, you can start this around the time you would get your period, it WILL NOT work to induce your period this far ahead of time.
This method is harmless, provided you are not allergic to anything in the vit c tablets or parsley.
Lep, exactly.
Valeria: The infusion concentrates the necessary propertiess in the parsley and you would need to eat A LOT to get as much as you would by drinking the infusion. Stick with drinking it. Also, eating the parsley you used in the infusion is fairly useless since all the important properties are now drained from it.
Also, to In Fair Verona, Plan B is really effective taken that soon, so try to relax as stress can also make your period late, though as I said in my last comment, in your case since you are irregular don't try this until you are sure you period is late because it will not work if you take it before your body naturally wants to bleed.
so i think i may have gotten pregnant about 5 nights ago? possibly.
and i have about 7 to 10 days to go until i would regularly have my period. ive been having cramps on and off since that night and people have told me it could be from stress or that that night couldve made it come sooner or something, but im not too sure
im just preparing for the worst i guess
and i was wondering if it would be too soon to start the vit.c?
like, if it would lose its effectiveness by the time i would take the parsley as well?
thanks
I would hold off and see if you get your period.
This is a wonderful post, the fact that it has been on for 2 years now. It is unfortunate that a lot of users of this method has only made entries till they were using it and not of it's success, which i now believe must be very high if so many have vouched for it. Of course I'm going through one suc phase where i look back and curse myself for the stupidity but to late to regret now anyways. Lost Clown, I'm glad you have kept the post alive you have no idea how many lives you have saved by a simple blog...Thanks again. PS: Though i have taken emergency contraceptive pills everytime i've had unprotected sex (4 times within one cycle), I'm late by 4 days. Will start the Vit C from tonight and hoping....
I know you said to place the parsely as far into the vagina as possible... but how far is far enough so that it is effective. Maybe like an inch inside the vagina - or farther?
Like the length of your finger is best, but I don't think that that would hurt, but your vagina is self cleaning so it may push it out, hence the 'as far as possible.'
This website is the most helpful and concise that I've found. I was wondering, though, do you think that the vitamin C alone would work, or do you strongly suggest using the parsley as well? Also, would the 1,000mg Emergen-C packets work, and if so, should it be one packet every two hours or half every hour or what?
hello,
i was wondering if Vitamin C with CITRUS bioflavnoids are ok?
will they reduce the chance...
im not sure if im pregnant, its been 6 days since the last time i had sex, any information would help
thank you
im about 5 weeks into my pregnancy...is there a possibility that it can still work??
Coming across this website has really helped me relax in the situation I'm in.
My boyfriend and I have been regularily having sex without a condom (pull-out method; probably not too smart) and I've come to discover that my period is now officially 9 days late. I've been taking 6000 mg of Vit. C for the past 3 days, and just today made the parsley infusion and shoved a sprig up the vag. Cross your fingers for me.
Took a pregnancy test yesterday and it was a clear negative. It was Clear-Blue, any insight on whether or not it's a reliable brand? Off topic, I realize. But you seem knowledgable in the whole area and such. Thanks alot. :)
i had a positive pregnany test and am about 2 weeks . i've tried your method without the parsley. i've had some cramping but nothing major. should i try again or stop.
Hi. I have been doing the parsley tea vit c and dong quai and black cohosh for two full days now. I am having severe headache, which I read is pretty common, and am avoiding using the parsley in my vagina, yet am making tea out of it, and have the additional herbs to assist in the uterine stimulation. Do you think the headache is ok, and what do you think of the parsley issue? crucial or not? I am appreciative of your blog, and the girls contributing to it. Thanks all!!
Hi I really hope this works for me. im a little over two weeks late and the test was positive will this still work for me? I really appreciate your help.
This was awesome! I was about 8 days late, negative pregnancy test, but I just wanted to get my period just to make sure. I'm on the pill and its supposed to regulate my period but instead it just screws it up. I started the Vit-C and parsley yesterday at 3pm and got my period in the middle of the night. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
