I'm a bit concerned because I took mifepristone and then 24 hours later, I followed it up with 4 tablets of misoprostol, just like my gynaecologist told me to. But I've only had a bit of spotting for a little while and then no bleeding at all, just some cramps and nausea. It's been over 21 hours since I took the misoprostol and I'm worried that it might not be working. Can you help me understand what's going on or what I should do next?

Given the lack of bleeding 21 hours after taking misoprostol, despite experiencing cramps and nausea, it's essential to follow up with your gynaecologist as soon as possible to assess the abortion's success and rule out any potential complications or ongoing pregnancy; you may recommend an ultrasound to confirm the outcome and provide further guidance.

I'm really struggling and could really use some advice. I've been married since March 26, 2016, and my husband and I have tried many times, but we just can't seem to have successful intercourse. Every time we try, my body tenses up because I'm so scared of the pain from penetration. It's making everything really difficult. Do you have any advice on what we can do about this? I'm feeling pretty worried about it.

It sounds like you're experiencing physical discomfort during intercourse, which could be due to muscle tension or psychological factors like anxiety. I recommend consulting a gynecologist to explore potential causes such as vaginismus or other medical conditions. Relaxation techniques and counseling might also help alleviate the tension and make the experience more comfortable.

I've been dealing with this horrible pain for a couple of hours now, it's in my lower abdomen on the side away from my appendix. It's really strange because when I'm lying down, it doesn't bother me, but walking is super painful and sitting up is just unbearable. What could be causing this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an issue with your ovary, bowel, or urinary tract, possibly an ovarian cyst, infection, or even diverticulitis. Please see a doctor immediately for evaluation, as this pain requires urgent attention. Rest and avoid straining in the meantime.

I'm a bit worried about my wife's cervical length being 26mm at 12 weeks into her pregnancy. Could you tell me what it might be like around 16 weeks? If she's taking progesterone supplements like Susten 200, is there a chance the length could increase?

At 16 weeks of pregnancy, the cervical length is expected to be around 30-35mm. Taking progesterone supplement Susten 200 can help support the pregnancy and may potentially help in maintaining the cervical length. The usual dosage of Susten 200 for supporting pregnancy is 200mg to be taken vaginally once daily.
