Many women gain weight around menopause starting as early as from 40 years of age which can be controlled by healthy eating habits and physical activity. There is no rule which applies commonly for all women in terms of this duration of weight gain but on an average it is 5 years.

I'm a bit worried about this situation. I was with my girlfriend, and I fingered her after touching my penis which might have had some precum on it. Neither of us has ever had sex before, and I didnt actually have penetrative sex, it was just fingering. Could there be a risk of pregnancy from this?

So, I had a condom break on me and took a Plan B right after it happened. But I'm kinda worried because I took a laxative a couple of hours before, and I'm actually in my ovulating window. Should I be concerned about how effective the Plan B will be this time?

yes

I'm a bit concerned after finishing my medication with the abortion pill because I'm 4 weeks pregnant and it's been 3 days since I took the misoprostol, but I've only had some spotting and not much bleeding. Does this mean the abortion process isn't complete? I also still feel mild cramps like I'm on my period sometimes. Could you help clarify this for me?

After 48 hrs of taking Mesoprostol,you will see proper clots falling out,if at all those were not seen,only spotting is noted,thatis incomplete abortion,get a scan done for fetal viability and visit gynaecologist for appropriate approach
