I've been in a bit of a dilemma. So, I had unprotected sex with my husband on the third day of my period and decided to take the i-pill just to be safe. Now, my period is way overdue; it's been about 15 days late. I went to see a gynecologist, and she prescribed Meprate 10mg. But I'm unsure about what to do next. Should I just wait it out and see if my period comes naturally, even though it's delayed? Or should I go ahead and take the Meprate to kickstart my cycle? I'm also concerned if there might be any side effects if I start taking it. Will I end up having to rely on medication to get my period from now on? Could really use some advice here.

Misses periods is the common sideeffects of ipill. Don't take meprate as it would thicken ur internal lining which has already thickened by ipill causing further periods problem. Just wait u would eventually get ur periods as ipill has got a high success rate

I'm really worried because I used the mankind unwanted kit for abortion on the 26th of March and started bleeding the next day. It's been 9 days now, and I'm still experiencing a lot of bleeding and quite a bit of pain. The kit mentioned that bleeding could last anywhere from 9 to 16 days, so I'm uncertain if I should just wait it out or if I should consult a gynecologist right away. Is this normal, or should I be concerned and get it checked? What would be the best course of action here?

Visit Gynaecologist immediately that could be incomplete abortion where few products of conception might be there ,get yourself checked and treated

My TVS report says there's a heteroechoic lesion around 13-15 mm in the fundal region of the uterus, likely a fibroid. It also mentions an enlarged right ovary with a cyst, bulky cervix, and uterine fibroids. Can this be treated with medication or will I need surgery?

The best approach to treating fibroids and an ovarian cyst, especially when there's also a bulky cervix, depends on the severity of symptoms and the woman's reproductive goals. While some fibroids and cysts may be managed with medication, surgical intervention might be necessary, especially for larger or symptomatic fibroids
