  1. Understanding Twin Conception

    • Twins can occur naturally as fraternal (dizygotic) or identical (monozygotic). Fraternal twins result from two separate eggs being fertilized, while identical twins come from one egg splitting.
  2. Factors Influencing Natural Twin Conception

    • Genetics, maternal age (30s and above), and certain ethnic backgrounds can increase the likelihood of twins.
  3. Lifestyle and Dietary Considerations

    • Consuming dairy products and maintaining a healthy weight may slightly boost the chances of twins.
  4. Medical and Family History

    • A family history of twins, especially on the maternal side, can influence twin conception.
  5. When to Consult a Specialist

    • If seeking personalized advice, consult a fertility specialist or obstetrician.
  6. Important Notes and Cautions

    • Natural twin conception is unpredictable; focus on overall reproductive health.

I'm just a bit worried after my abortion started on April 10th, and even after the medicine course, my bleeding didn't stop. When I visited the gynecologist, the ultrasound showed an incomplete abortion, and she advised going for a vacuum aspiration to prevent any infection. But honestly, I didn't want to go through that procedure, so I took more misoprostol for three days, around 400 mg twice daily, making it 8 mg per day. After that, I experienced more bleeding and cramping, but everything seems to have stopped after a week. There's no more bleeding, no cramping, and the only discharge I'm noticing is the usual natural white discharge. It's been 12 days now, and everything feels back to normal. So, I'm curiousdoes this mean my abortion is now complete and there are no leftover tissues? Could you give me some advice on this?

Although you've experienced bleeding and cramping after self-administering additional misoprostol, it's crucial to schedule a follow-up ultrasound with your gynecologist to confirm complete abortion and rule out any remaining tissue or complications.
