Not all miscarriages are physically painful, but most of them have cramping. The cramps are really strong for some people and light for others.

I'm about 35 days pregnant and I've had it confirmed. The doctor gave me a Sifasi 2000 IU injection and I'm wondering why it's needed during pregnancy. Also, I've noticed my stomach making noises sometimes and I'm curious about what might be causing that. Could you provide some insight?

I had sex on April 28 around 11 pm and I think the condom broke because I heard a popping sound. So I took Plan B the next day, April 29, at 10 pm. I had just finished my last period on April 27, and my flow chart says I'm supposed to start ovulating 7 days after taking the emergency pill. Will Plan B still be effective if I ovulate 7 days later? I'm also having some minor side effects like pelvic pain on the left sideis that normal?

Plan B is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex. It can work by preventing or delaying ovulation. Taking Plan B within 24 hours of unprotected sex is more effective than taking it later. As for the pelvic pain from the left side, it is not a common side effect of Plan B. However, some women may experience abdominal pain or cramping as a side effect. If the pain is severe or persistent, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
