My wife is currently 8 weeks pregnant, and during her last ultrasound, they couldn't detect any cardiac activity. The final report mentioned something about a likely missed abortion. Our gynecologist wants us to continue with the medication since there haven't been any miscarriage symptoms yet. We're pretty nervous about this and are anxiously waiting for the next ultrasound in 10 days. Could you shed some light on what to possibly expect? Is there still a chance for positive news? We're just trying to understand all of this.

Hi, It is usually a very stressful time if a heart beat is not discovered. Sometimes it can come a bit later and sometimes it can lead due to a miscarriage. In a missed abortion if usually dont get any symptoms.

I took a Plan B pill recently, and now I'm experiencing a lot of pain on the outside of my vagina. It also feels really dry on the outside but not on the inside. Is this normal? Should I be worried or do anything to help with the discomfort?

Plan B contains a high dose of levonorgestrel, a synthetic hormone that can affect your body temporarily. This can cause side effects like vaginal dryness, discomfort, or even irritation in some cases.It's likely that the pain is temporary and related to the hormonal effects of Plan B, but if you have any concerns or if the symptoms don't improve, definitely reach out to your healthcare provider.
