I'm a bit worried and curious about when it's safe to have sex after my wife had a family planning operation on 9th August 2017. We have two daughters, and I'm just trying to make sure we're doing everything right. How long should we wait?

After a tubectomy (family planning operation), it's generally recommended to wait for 7-14 days before resuming sexual intercourse to allow the body to heal and reduce the risk of complications or infection;

Question

We're dealing with an unexpected pregnancy, and after looking over all the reports, we've been considering going the medication route for an abortion. I'm really concerned about one thing: her hemoglobin level is at 8.5. Are tablets still safe to use in this situation?

Question

So, I took Mifepristone yesterday morning around 8:30 and then took two Misoprostol tablets after four hours. Later, I took the remaining two Misoprostol tablets after another two hours. I started bleeding, but by last night, the bleeding became very light, almost nothing. I was dealing with stomach pain, vomiting, and feeling weak but now those symptoms have disappeared. How can I tell if the medication worked or not?
