I'm a bit confused and worried because my last period started on October 3rd and lasted for 5 days. I ended up having unprotected sex late on the 9th and then took an emergency contraception pill the following morning on the 10th. But then on the 15th, I started spotting and it turned into really heavy bleeding for a couple of days, plus I've been having this lower abdominal pain. I'm getting nervouscould I be pregnant despite taking the pill? And is there anything I could take to help with the bleeding? Id really appreciate your guidance on this.

I experienced a miscarriage after my first pregnancy at around 3 months due to bleeding, which really concerned me. Now, after four years of marriage, I'm pregnant again and currently at 7 weeks. My doctor recommended I take Loprin 75mg during this pregnancy. I'm a bit worried and want to understandis this medication safe for me and the baby? Would love to know what it does exactly and if it's really necessary.

My wife is about 5.5 weeks pregnant and we had an ultrasound done. The doctor gave us an MTP Kit but we can't remember how were supposed to take it. With all the stuff happening because of COVID, we're really trying to avoid another visit to the hospital. Can you explain the steps for taking the MTP Kit?

Tablet mifepristone 200 mcg on day - 1 followed by tablet misoprostol 200 mcg on day-3 (after 48 hrs) 2 tablets followed by a 4 hour gap and then 2 tablets. All take orally.
