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.

View allI'm a 29-year-old mom with a 2.5-year-old baby and I've been diagnosed with a right dermoid ovarian cyst measuring 2.6 cm x 2 cm along with bilateral PCOD causing irregular periods. I really don't want to undergo open or laparoscopic surgery since I'm done having kids. Feeling completely stuck and frustrated about what to do next - could you suggest some options for me?
Given your diagnosis of a 2.6 cm x 2 cm right dermoid ovarian cyst and bilateral PCOD, and your preference to avoid surgery, here's a breakdown of potential options and considerations: Understanding Your Situation: Dermoid Cyst: Dermoid cysts are usually benign and often don't cause symptoms, especially when small. While generally harmless, they can grow and potentially cause complications like torsion or rupture if large enough. PCOD: Polycystic ovary disorder (PCOD) can lead to irregular periods and other issues, but with management, fertility remains a possibility. Your Preference: You're hesitant about surgery due to your desire to avoid complications, which is a valid concern

I'm really concerned because my wife, who's 6 weeks pregnant, had a bad toothache last night and ended up taking Zerodol SP. She's pretty worried now. Is that safe?
