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 concerned because every month, right before my periods, I experience this pain in my clitoris when I pee. It only lasts for about a minute but it's quite uncomfortable, and theres sometimes itching too. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I took the first Mifepristone tablet from a Mefigest kit but ended up vomiting about 3 to 3.15 hours later. Do I need to take another dose of Mifepristone, or should I purchase a new Mefigest kit?
