I'm 5 months pregnant and my doctor suggested I take Lupiheme tablets every other day. I've been reading online that it might not be safe. Can anyone help me figure out if I should be taking this? I'm a bit unsure about what to do.

I'm a bit worried because my period was supposed to start on December 29th, 2017, and I found out I was pregnant on December 31st. Since January 6th, I've been spotting with a brown color. My doctor gave me Trenaxa 500mg to take three times a day for five days, but it hasn't seemed to help. Do you have any ideas on what I should do next?

Is it harmful to take unwanted 72 two times in a week? I noticed that I start having periods right after taking it. Can you help me understand what's going on?

-Taking Unwanted 72 frequently, like twice a week, can disrupt your hormonal balance and lead to irregular periods. It's meant for emergency use, not regular contraception. If you're using it often, consider switching to a more reliable, long-term method
