The usual symptoms of miscarriage are vaginal bleeding and lower tummy (abdominal) cramps. You may then pass something from the vagina, which often looks like a blood clot or clots.

I'm a bit worried because I had a D&C procedure just for a scan to check for any remains after two weeks. Then I had to repeat it with the suction method. Is it normal that I haven't gotten my period yet and it's been almost three weeks? Am I safe?

Based on your description, it seems like you underwent a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure followed by a repeat procedure using suction. It is normal for your menstrual cycle to be irregular or delayed after such procedures. However, if you are concerned about the delay in receiving your menses, you should consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation. They may prescribe medications such as Medroxyprogesterone (Provera) to help induce your period.

I'm curious if there's any medication for women that can help enhance stamina and sustain performance when being intimate, maybe something to take an hour before. Also, is it advisable or safe to engage in intimacy four times a day, and are there specific drugs for that? I've been wondering about this and thought I'd ask.

For improving sexual stamina, some women may benefit from **l-arginine** supplements, which can enhance blood flow, or **ginseng** for increased energy. However, it's important to consult a healthcare provider before starting any medication or supplement, as individual needs and health conditions vary. Regular communication with a partner and relaxation techniques also play an important role in improving intimacy.
