I've taken misoprostol today at 11 amtwo tablets of 200 mg eachbut there's no bleeding yet. Then, I took another two tablets around 7 pm. How long should I expect to wait before the bleeding starts? I'm getting a bit worried and would really appreciate some advice on what's normal in this situation.

After taking misoprostol, bleeding typically starts within 1-4 hours, but it can take up to 24 hours; since you took the second dose at 7 pm, you may experience bleeding within the next 12-24 hours; however, if you haven't bled or experienced severe symptoms like heavy bleeding, severe pain, or fever, consult your gynaecologist

My wife's just entered her first month of pregnancy and we're curious about whether it's safe for us to have sex. If it is okay, could you please suggest what positions might be safe during this time?
Congratulations on your wife's pregnancy! In the first month, it's generally safe to have sex unless advised otherwise by her doctor. Comfortable positions, like side-lying or her on top, can help avoid pressure on the abdomen. Always communicate with your wife and check with her doctor for any specific concerns.

I've recently been diagnosed with chlamydia and they prescribed me 500 mg of Azithromycin. I'm 51 years old and weigh 105 lbs. I've been reading that most people are given 1000 mg for treatment. Should I be concerned that I wasn't given the right dosage to cure it? Is this normal or should I reach back out to my doctor?
Be rest assured, your doctor prescribed you the dose that you require. Do not see internet threads. Your doctor knows better. AZYTHROMYCIN is typically given at 500 mg for adults over 18 yrs... So it's appropriate dose for you.
