I'm a bit concerned after taking misoprostol last night at 9:40 pm. I experienced some moderate cramping but didn't notice any significant bleeding. Around 4 am, there was a little bleeding but it stopped quickly, though I'm still having on-and-off cramps. Ive been advised to take another dose of misoprostol again at 9:40 pm tonight. Is this normal, or could it be a sign of an incomplete abortion?

Based on your symptoms, it appears that the misoprostol is taking effect, but the abortion process may not be complete, as evidenced by the moderate cramping, initial bleeding that stopped, and the need for a second dose of misoprostol, which is a common practice to ensure complete abortion, but it's essential to follow up with your healthcare provider within 24-48 hours to confirm the completeness of the abortion and rule out any potential complications.

I took a misoprostol kit for abortion on June 3rd but my ultrasound on July 1st showed an 11x7 mm retained product of conception in the fundal region. Is it possible for this to pass naturally in my next period or are there any medications that can help besides surgery? Are there alternative treatments in Ayurveda or Homeopathy?

Small retained products of conception may pass naturally or with medicines. If unresolved, minor surgical evacuation may be needed.

I'm wondering about a follicle size that's 30x30mm with a small amount of free fluid on the 16th day does that mean it's a follicle or could it be a cyst? I've been on CCQ medication, and my periods have always been regular, so I haven't had PCOD or cyst issues before. Has anyone had a similar experience and conceived successfully with these numbers?

-A 30x30mm follicle size on day 16 is quite large, but it could still be a mature follicle ready to ovulate, especially with minimal free fluid. It's unlikely to be a cyst unless it's irregular in shape or causing symptoms. Since you're on CCQ medication

I'm 24 and just had sex for the first time with my boyfriend recently. Initially, I had a lot of pain and couldn't do it, but eventually, we managed. What really surprised me though was that I didn't bleed at all. It's been on my mind since I'm not involved in sports or any activities like biking or running. How could this happen?

It's completely normal for some women not to experience bleeding during their first sexual encounter. The presence or absence of bleeding can vary based on the flexibility and elasticity of the hymen, as well as individual anatomy. It's important to remember that every experience is unique, and no one way is "correct." If you have any concerns, it's always a good idea to speak with a healthcare provider for reassurance.
