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've been having really heavy periods that last 10 to 18 days with clots and bad cramps. My ultrasound showed a bulky uterus measuring 73x47x55 mm with a 12-13 mm endometrial echo. There's also a simple cyst on my right ovary around 30x14 mm. Should I consider surgery for this or are there other options?

You need hysteroscopy and D&C. If you completed your family then you can go for mirena insertion.

I'm having some trouble with my periods lately. They've gotten kind of irregular, and I used to bleed for about 5 days, but now it's down to just 2 days. I had an ultrasound done, and it came back normal. What could be causing this change?
