Periods can get delayed by any number of days, from 30 days to 6 weeks. If next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle. Any delay more than it is considered abnormal.

I'm wondering if it's safe to use abortion pills again since I had one just a month ago. Are there any risks or side effects I should be aware of with having another so soon?

Orofer XT tonic is an iron supplement designed for women. Given your low ferritin levels and normal hemoglobin (HB) count, Orofer XT might be beneficial. However, concerns about prolonged menstrual periods are worth with your doctor. Monitor your menstrual cycle and report any changes to your doctor.

I'm having these really painful vaginal pimples since the start of this month. They look like normal pimples, disappear after about a week, but then come back again after 2 or 3 days. This has already happened to me three times within this month. Is this something normal, or should I see a gynecologist about it?

I'm really worried because I had sex a couple of weeks ago and now I'm experiencing these sharp abdominal pains. Could this be related? Should I be concerned or do something specific about it?

Sharp abdominal pain after sex could be due to various reasons such as pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts, or even a urinary tract infection. I would recommend taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen and scheduling an appointment with your gynecologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can also try using a heating pad on your abdomen for relief.
