I'm a bit worried because I haven't had my periods for 44 days now and I got a Beta Hcg test done yesterday which was 1.2 ml. My usual cycle is around 33 to 34 days. Could there still be a chance that I'm pregnant?

I'm 17 weeks pregnant and I've had a cold and cough recently. The cold is gone, but now I just have a dry cough that's making it really hard to sleep. Plus, my throat really hurts from all the coughing. I'm looking for some pregnancy-safe medicine that can give quick relief because the pain is just too much. By the way, I got tested and it's not COVID. Can you help me out with what I can take?

I took misoprostol earlier in the day around 11:30 am and noticed a bit of spotting. If I push a bit, I get some bleeding, but it's not heavy at all. My doctor mentioned that I'd start having heavier bleeding after about 3 to 4 hours, but that hasn't happened yet. It's almost 9:30 now, and I'm getting worried. What should I do next?

Given that it's been 9.5 hours since taking misoprostol and you're experiencing only spotting and minimal bleeding upon straining, contact your doctor immediately for guidance, as the expected heavy bleeding hasn't occurred; your doctor may recommend another dose of misoprostol,
