I'm really worried because I've missed my period for over 10 days now. I've been having cramps in my lower stomach and pain in my breasts. Today, I noticed some white discharge with a thin red string-like thing in it. Can you tell me what this might be? I'm really concerned about what's going on.

I've taken abortion pills, and about 30 days after having sex, I started bleeding like my normal period. But then after 10 days, I had pain for 3 days, and the bleeding started again. Now it's been bleeding for more than 10 days. What should I do?

After taking abortion pills, experiencing bleeding for more than 10 days can be concerning. It is important to monitor the amount of bleeding and any associated symptoms. If the bleeding continues beyond 2 weeks or if you experience severe pain, fever, or foul-smelling discharge, please seek immediate medical attention.

I'm experiencing some pain during my first trimester of pregnancy, and it only lasts for a minute or so each time. I'm starting to get worried because I've heard this could be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy. Could you help me understand what's going on?
