I've been having this white discharge issue for the past couple of months. I had a two-month pregnancy and went through an abortion using pills. After that, I got a scan and everything seemed fine, but the discharge hasn't stopped. It's frustrating having to wear a pad every day. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do about it?

ts possible that the white discharge youre experiencing is a result of the healing process after your abortion, but if youre feeling uncomfortable or worried, its always a good idea to check in with your doctor for reassurance and to rule out any infections.

Can cinnamon actually work as a natural way to end a pregnancy? I tested positive on a home test a couple of days ago and I'm not really looking to keep the pregnancy going. I'm thinking about natural options since it's really early, like just a week or two. Do these natural methods really work, and if so, how much cinnamon powder would I need to use?

Using cinnamon as a natural means of abortion is not recommended as it can be unsafe and ineffective. It is important to seek medical advice for safe and appropriate options for terminating a pregnancy. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further guidance and support.
