View allI've recently had a medical termination and after 15 days, I found out there are retained products. My doctor used 2 tablets to help but I'm only feeling lower back pain and no other symptoms. How long until bleeding starts? Can retained products be expelled through bleeding, or will they come out with my period? Is it safe to wait until my next period for them to pass? I'm really worried and would appreciate some advice.

I've been experiencing some worrying symptoms and was hoping to get your advice. I took an ipill for the first time this past Sunday, and now I'm noticing rashes on my stomach and arms that are really itchy. Plus, my stomach feels pretty bloated. I've also been on some digestive medicine since last Friday. Could these things be related, or should I be worried about something else going on?

I'm feeling really anxious about my uterine fibroids. I have two of them, measuring 2.8 cm and 2.7 cm, and I'm trying to avoid surgery at all costs. Is it possible to treat these with medication only?
