I recently had an MTP at 6 weeks, and my ultrasound after 10 days showed there's still some products left in the upper abdomen area, measuring about 18x13.5x10.4 mm. I'm worried and wondering if a D&C is absolutely necessary, or if taking another dose of misoprostol might be an option. What would you recommend?

I've been on the everyday birth control pills, but now my period is 9 days late. I took two pregnancy tests over the last week, and they both came back negative. I'm worried and wondering what could be causing this delay. Any insights?

Consider the following potential causes: - Hormonal imbalance - Stress - Medication side effects - Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) - Thyroid issues Next steps: 1. Wait a few more days and take another pregnancy test. 2. Consult your healthcare provider to discuss symptoms and medical history. 3. Get a blood test to check hormone levels and rule out underlying conditions.
