I'm about 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant and I've been feeling some sharp pain in my abdomen whenever I lie down and sneeze or cough. There's also this sudden pain in my pelvic area if I stand up too quickly. On top of that, ever since I conceived, I've noticed some skin allergies popping up. I had an abortion about a year ago using pills, and I'm really wondering if what I'm going through is normal or if there's something I should be concerned about. Also, is it possible to use the pills for an abortion again this time around? We just don't feel ready for a baby right now.

I've been taking one meftal spas tablet on the first day of my periods to deal with painful cramps, and it usually helps with the pain pretty quickly. But I've noticed that my bleeding has really lessened over time. I only bleed for around two days now, and then there's just a bit of brown or blackish discharge. I'm wondering if the medication could be causing this change, or could there be some other reason for it?

Reduced bleeding and the brown or black spotting you are experiencing could be due to the use of Meftal Spas tablet. Meftal Spas contains a combination of Dicyclomine and Mefenamic Acid, which is commonly used to relieve menstrual pain and cramps. However, if you are concerned about the changes in your menstrual bleeding pattern, it is advisable to consult with your gynecologist for further evaluation and management.
