I had a medical abortion a few days ago. I took mifepristone and misoprostol as instructed, but I haven't had any stomach cramps and only noticed slight bleeding for 45 hours. I've been feeling nauseous and even vomited a couple of times, but not right after taking the tabletit was about 3 hours later. The kit I used had 1 mifepristone, which I took two days before, and 4 misoprostol tablets that I took two each with a 78-hour gap in between. I'm really worriedis the abortion successful? If it isn't, what should I do? Is it okay to repeat the process?

To confirm if the abortion was successful, you should follow up with a healthcare provider for an ultrasound examination. If the abortion was not successful, your healthcare provider may recommend a surgical procedure to complete the abortion. It is not safe to repeat the medical abortion process without consulting a healthcare provider. It is important to seek medical advice to ensure your safety and well-being.

I'm looking for advice on safe ways to prevent pregnancy aside from using condoms. Could you share some options that are completely risk-free and safe?

Aside from condoms, the most reliable and safe methods to avoid pregnancy include hormonal birth control (like birth control pills, patches, or implants), intrauterine devices (IUDs), and permanent solutions like sterilization. It's important to consult your doctor to choose the method best suited to your health and lifestyle.

I've noticed that my period has been longer than usual, lasting up to 10 days, and I took a pregnancy test but it came back negative. Then, I experienced very light bleeding mixed with a watery discharge for a couple of days. Lately, I've been dealing with a pretty bad pain on my right side and it's affecting my back too. I'm really concerned and would love to get some advice on what might be going on and what I should do next. Any thoughts?

Get a beta HCG done and if it is negative get a hormonal profile done
