I'm currently one month pregnant, but I'm not ready for that now and I'm thinking about abortion. I've heard stories about how certain pills might affect my ability to get pregnant later on, and it's got me really worried. Is that true? If not, what are the options? Also, I tried eating papaya and pineapple and even took hot showers, but nothing seems to work. Can you give me some advice?

You can consider using the medicine Mankind's Unwanted Kit for medical abortion. It contains a combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol which are effective in terminating early pregnancies. However, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper guidance on the dosage and administration of these medications.

I'm really worried because I missed my period for 6 days and found out I was pregnant from a test. I tried taking pills to stop the pregnancy, but I messed up and took the second pill 24 hours after the first one instead of waiting 48 hours like it said. I only had thin bleeding for about 2 days. Now, I tested again and it's negative. Could you please help me understand what I should do to get my full period back?

Hey, I've been having this weird situation with my period for the last two months. It just doesn't stop properly. It halts for like two days and then starts again with either a little spotting or suddenly, these heavy clots show up. Itll be calm for 23 days and then bam, its like were back to the beginning. To manage this, I've been taking Styplon Himalaya, and it seems to work until it doesn't because as soon as I stop, the cycle starts all over again. Could you please suggest what might be happening or what I should do?

Prolonged bleeding or irregular cycles for two months is abnormal and requires medical attention. The underlying cause could be hormonal imbalances, structural issues (like fibroids or polyps), or an infection. A gynecologist will be able to conduct tests and determine the appropriate treatment to address the cause of your irregular bleeding.
