I'm a little worried because I didn't take the first dose of mifepristone like I was supposed to. If I go ahead with the second and third doses, will the abortion pill still work, or is it necessary to have taken the first dose for it to be effective?

If you missed the first dose of Mifepristone, it's essential to consult the prescribing doctor or a healthcare provider for guidance; taking only the second and third doses (Misoprostol) may not be effective in inducing abortion, and the regimen's efficacy and safety may be compromised; seek medical advice to discuss the best course of action and potential alternatives

I'm wondering if it's safe to try clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm about a week after having the D&C procedure. I'm planning on avoiding any penetration, but I'm still a bit unsure. Can you advise?

It's generally safe to engage in clitoral stimulation a week after a D&C procedure, as long as there are no signs of infection or complications. However, it's important to listen to your body and avoid any activities that cause discomfort. If you have any concerns or experience pain, its best to consult your doctor.
