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 a bit worried because I had a C-section due to low amniotic fluid, and now I've put on weight, reaching 75 kg. A friend suggested that I try HERBALIFE NUTRITION FOOD, which are these meal replacement shakes for breakfast. I'm curious if this product is really trustworthy and if there might be any side effects I should know about. Could you guide me on whether it's safe to start using this product?

I've been having some issues with my periods being late by over 15 days sometimes, and lately, I've felt like vomiting, been really hungry, and kind of dizzy. My usual date was April 18, and I'm worried that I might be pregnant. How soon can I check to see if the result is positive or negative? Also, I accidentally drank pineapple Rasna juice before I knew you're not supposed to have pineapple when trying to conceive. Could this cause any problems like a miscarriage if Im actually pregnant? I'm really stressed about it and would appreciate some advice.
