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 in my first month of pregnancy, and my doctor prescribed Ecosprin 75 for me, which I find a bit confusing since I don't have any heart issues. I do have hypothyroidism, though, and I'm currently taking a 100mg Electroxin tablet. I'm also breastfeeding my older child, so I'm a bit worried because my doctor hasn't changed my thyroid medication dosage. Could you help me understand why this might be the case?

Ecosprin 75 is often prescribed in early pregnancy to help prevent blood clotting and improve blood flow to the placenta, even if you don't have heart problems. As for your thyroid medication, your doctor may feel your current dosage is still sufficient for both pregnancy and breastfeeding, but they will monitor your thyroid levels and adjust the dose if necessary.
