Question

I've missed my period and found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant, even though we used protection. I'm not in a position to raise a baby right now. A friend with an MBBS degree advised me to confirm the pregnancy with a scan and then take mifepristone orally, followed by 4 misoprostol tablets vaginally after 24 hours. But I haven't experienced any bleeding yet. After another 24 hours, I took 2 more misoprostol vaginally and 2 orally. Still, there's no bleeding, just some tissue passing and a few drops of a dirty white liquid. Can you help me understand what's happening?

Sounds like you are experiencing a medical abortion using medication. It is important to follow the correct dosage and administration guidelines for these medications. In your case, since there has been limited bleeding and only some tissue passing, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly to ensure the completion of the abortion process and to address any potential complications.

Question

What are the causes and the symptoms of irregular periods?

Question

My wife's in her 6th month of pregnancy and she's been having some issues like vomiting, a cold, runny nose, and headaches. We went to a gynecologist who prescribed some meds like azithromycin, Sinarest, and Ascoril D Plus syrup. We even did a COVID test and it was negative. I'm just really concerned if these tablets are safe during pregnancy, especially since she's at 24 weeks now. Are there any possible side effects on the baby from these medications?

Question

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. My partner and I had sex, and about 12 hours later, I took an Unwanted 72 pill. But then we had sex again just an hour after I took the pill. Is there a chance I could be pregnant, or should I be considering taking another pill?
