I'm a bit concerned because it's the 43rd day and I still haven't gotten my period. On the 40th day, I noticed some discomfort in my lower abdomen, and now there's this thick white milky discharge. Could these be signs of early pregnancy, or is it something else? I'm not sure what to make of this.

White dischrge in pregnancy is common Just make sure it s not associated with itching and foul smelling bcz tht goes in favour of infection Keep the private parts clean Avoid moisture If dischrge is more use panty liners

I'm a bit worried because my wife's period was supposed to start on February 26, 2020, but it hasn't yet. She took a pregnancy test with the Prega News kit, and it came back negative. She's been experiencing some stomach pain, especially on the lower side, and she's feeling really tired, especially at night, and a bit nauseous. I'm just wondering what steps we should take to help her period start. Any advice?

without any further delay get a scan done and visit Gynaecologist for appropriate management

I'm really worried about my wife's recovery after her surgical abortion. She's been experiencing bleeding, filling about one pad a day. Do you know how long this bleeding might last? Is this normal?

It's normal for some bleeding to occur after a surgical abortion, typically lasting 1-2 weeks. The amount should gradually decrease, and bleeding of one pad per day is generally considered within the expected range. However, if the bleeding becomes heavy or persists longer than 2 weeks, it's important to consult with a doctor to rule out any complications.
