I would ask when you get their address, but presumably you can use your passport as ID

I used to use the poste restante at my nearest correo and it worked fine for letters and small packets under half a kilo, although never for anything important. https://www.correoargentino.com.ar/que-es-poste-restante

One of the reasons I left bs as was because of an armed robbery in my house. I have at least 4 friends I can think of off the top of my head who also were threatened or robbed at gunpoint there. I don’t know anyone in England who has had that happen.

I agree with Nikad and I approve of the anti-abortion stance in Argentina. In countries where abortion is legal, girls are pressured into it against their will by parents or boyfriends, instead of being offered support. In UK, an old or terminally ill person can't even beg for the right to die...

According to Wikipedia, Mifepristone is a type of steroid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mifepristone I guess the high-dose levonorgestrel is the local alternative.

I don't believe it's available here. I say this because mifepristone is one of the two medicines prescribed in US and UK to help passed retained tissues in missed miscarriage and here they only prescribe the misoprostol, which on it's own is much less effective.

Hospital Aleman and Swiss Med sound like good options. Thanks nikad and citygirl!

My new scan will be at Fecunditas. A friend just told me it has a good reputation. Has anyone consulted with an ob-gyn there?

I can use any doctor, my insurance is an international one and they will refund me. Preferably in the center or barrio norte. Medicina/Pueyrredon area would work. Belgrano's really far for me. I'm in Monserrat.

I may need a D&C or "aspiracion", or at least advice from an ob-gyn about taking misoprostol for a missed miscarriage. I lost confidence in my ob-gyn as he misread my scan pics. Can anyone recommend a top-notch doctor who would be able to deal with this kind of thing. Thanks.

Thanks for your well-wishes, Nikad. I should have mentioned before that I am a regular poster but name-changed for this thread, due to it relating to my health problems.

I'm sorry you misunderstood the stance of my post, Nikad. I am not pro-abortion, I just thought this information should be shared. I'm a woman miscarrying a pregnancy and was surprised to find my doctor prescribing me an anti-arthritis medicine to help me pass the retained products. When I...

Just found this out. If anyone knows more about it, please add or amend. Since it's not allowed to prescribe the abortion pill (misoprostol) in Argentina, when medication is needed to help miscarrying women pass retained products, doctors prescribe an anti-arthritic medication containing...
