I've missed my period and found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant, even though we used protection. I'm not in a position to raise a baby right now. A friend with an MBBS degree advised me to confirm the pregnancy with a scan and then take mifepristone orally, followed by 4 misoprostol tablets vaginally after 24 hours. But I haven't experienced any bleeding yet. After another 24 hours, I took 2 more misoprostol vaginally and 2 orally. Still, there's no bleeding, just some tissue passing and a few drops of a dirty white liquid. Can you help me understand what's happening?

Sounds like you are experiencing a medical abortion using medication. It is important to follow the correct dosage and administration guidelines for these medications. In your case, since there has been limited bleeding and only some tissue passing, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly to ensure the completion of the abortion process and to address any potential complications.

View allI took misoprostol on July 9th at 8:30, but it's been 18 hours and I'm not bleeding. What should I do? I'm starting to get worried.
If you haven't started bleeding within 24 hours of taking misoprostol, it's likely that the abortion was not successful, and you may need to repeat the dose or consider other option

I'm a bit concerned about the looseness I've noticed in the skin of my labia majora, and it's got me wondering about natural ways to tighten it without surgery, especially since I'm only 24. Do you have any insights on why this might be happening at my age and any natural solutions I could try?
Low Vitamin D3 levels can be concerning. _Natural ways to increase Vitamin D3:_ 1. _Sunlight exposure_: Spend 10-15 minutes in sunlight, especially during peak hours (10am-4pm), to boost Vitamin D3 production. 2. _Fatty fish_: Consume fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, which are rich in Vitamin D3. 3. _Fortified foods_: Eat Vitamin D3-fortified foods like milk, cereals, and orange juice. 4. _Mushrooms_: Certain mushrooms, like shiitake and portobello, are natural sources of Vitamin D3. 5. _Egg yolks_: Egg yolks are a good source of Vitamin D3. _Supplements:_ If you're unable to get enough Vitamin D3 through natural sources, consider consulting with your doctor about taking supplements. _Target levels:_ Aim to increase your Vitamin D3 levels to 30-50 ngmL. _Monitor progress:_ Regularly check your Vitamin D3 levels to ensure you're reaching the target range.
