I took some medical pills for an abortion when I was about 5 weeks pregnant. My doctor prescribed me one tablet of mifepristone and two misoprostol tablets, but instead of letting them dissolve under my tongue, I ended up swallowing them with water. Now I've gotten my period, but I'm worried. Is there a chance I could still be pregnant?

I'm really worried about this situation. I've been dealing with PCOD, and my weight keeps going upI'm currently 63 kg and I'm 5 feet tall. Could having a physical relationship actually help with this? And if so, should protection be used or is it okay to not use any? Also, in case we don't use protection, should I be taking birth control pills afterwards, or can I take them just to help regulate my menstrual cycle, even without having sex?

Physical relationship is not a direct cure for PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Disorder), but regular sexual activity can help regulate menstrual cycles and improve hormonal balance; however, it's crucial to practice safe sex using protection to prevent unintended pregnancy. Regarding birth control pills, they can be prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce androgen levels, and improve symptoms of PCOD, regardless of sexual activity; your partner's healthcare provider can guide her on the best course of treatment and recommend suitable birth control options.

I'm really worried and a bit confused. If there's rubbing over the vagina with underwear on, and the underwear gets wet from precum or semen, could that cause pregnancy? I just need to understand how this works because it's been stressing me out.

While the chances of pregnancy in this scenario are low, it is still possible, especially if precum or semen comes into contact with the vaginal area. Sperm can swim and may lead to pregnancy if it reaches the vaginal canal. It is always advisable to use contraception to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy.
