I'm really concerned because I know someone who's used abortion pills like misoprostol to terminate pregnancies without talking to a doctor first. Are there any dangers with doing this? Could it have any effects on her body or future pregnancies? I'm just worried about the possible risks she might be facing.

View allWhat does ovarian cyst pain feel like?
Cysts in the ovary often don't cause any symptoms. If they're large, you may feel either a dull or sharp pain on one side of your pelvis or abdomen. You may also feel bloated, or a heaviness in your lower abdomen. If the cyst ruptures, you'll feel a sudden, sharp pain.

I'm a bit concerned after my recent ultrasound scans. At 4 weeks and 3 days, the yolk sac was present, but there was no fetal pole. Then, in the second scan at 6 weeks and 4 days, neither the yolk sac nor the fetal pole was visible. Plus, I'm not experiencing any pregnancy symptoms. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?
Its understandable to be concerned, but its not uncommon for early ultrasounds to show no fetal pole or yolk sac, especially if conception occurred later than expected. However, the absence of a fetal pole at 6 weeks could suggest a possible miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. It's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and guidance.
