Can I drink milk during my period?

Having a lot of dairy products is not the best idea, as it can cause cramping. Dairy products like milk, cheese, and ice cream contain arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid), which can increase inflammation and can intensify your period pain.

I'm around 5 and a half weeks pregnant and I took mifepristone followed by 4 misopristone tablets vaginally about 4 hours later. I've had a blood clot since about 3 hours ago, along with pain and cramping. Plus, one tablet came out after 3 hours. Can you help me understand what's going on with my situation?
