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 31 and had my first IUI on August 17th. I had four follicles around 21-24mm and my husband's sperm count was 110 million. Now it's the fifth day post-IUI and I'm feeling mild cramping in my lower back and abdomen, similar to period cramps, but my period isn't due until September 4th. Should I be concerned about these symptoms or schedule a visit with my gynecologist?

The mild cramping you're experiencing five days post-IUI is likely due to ovulation or implantation, but to confirm and alleviate concerns, schedule a follow-up appointment with your gynaecologist around 14-16 days post-IUI for a pregnancy test

I'm really confused about the result of my home pregnancy test. It showed a faint line along with a dark one. What does this mean about my pregnancy status? Am I pregnant or not? If I am, I'm not really looking to continue with this pregnancy, so I'd like to know what my options are.

A faint line alongside a dark line on a UPT usually indicates a positive result, meaning you may be pregnant. I understand this might be overwhelming. If you're not ready to continue the pregnancy, options such as consulting a healthcare provider for a safe early pregnancy termination can be explored. It's important to discuss your feelings and options with a trusted doctor.
