Is it normal to stop bleeding 5 days post medical abortion?
Hi, so I had a medical abortion recently (less than 5 weeks pregnant and the transvaginal scan said the embryo couldn’t be visualised yet/ it’s also my first pregnancy). After I was administered 4 pills of Misoprostol vaginally at the hospital, I started bleeding 2 hours later but it was like a regular period (a little heavier than usual and some clots/tissue much later in the day). I’ve been reading stories about intense pain and cramping etc. but haven’t experienced any at all. I took a pain med on the first day expecting a lot of pain but all I felt was some pressure in my abdomen for a few hours and a heating pad helped. It’s been around 5 days since then (proper bleeding for 2-3 days and very light bleeding on the 4th day and spotting on the 5th day). Today I stopped bleeding. Is this normal?

It is quite common to get different experiences in a medical abortion. Some people face severe pain, but others do not. Nevertheless, bleeding and not feeling much pain seems to be not a big deal at the moment. Every person has a different response to the drugs. Please keep an eye on symptoms such as heavy bleeding, severe pain, or high fever and alert your gynecologist in case of any. In addition, keep a low-stress pace, rest well, and fulfil the post-abortion aftercare recommendations you were provided with.

I recently had unprotected anal sex. Ejaculate was expelled shortly afterwards and then I took a shower. Less a few hours later, my partner placed a finger in anal cavity and then into my vagina; could this result in a pregnancy? Thanks….

When an egg is fertilized, that is called pregnancy. A sperm can swim and it can live for a little while outside the body. Pregnancy may occur if any sperm gets into your vagina. Keep an eye on strange symptoms such as missed periods or feeling sick (nausea). If you’re concerned, take a pregnancy test to put your mind at ease.

I am 19 years old female my periods are delayed by 20 days and day before yesterday i got little light bleeding so i thought i got my periods but i am not bleeding normally. Can you suggest something to make the flow normal
Female | 19
It’s normal to have irregular periods at your age. This can happen because of stress, weight changes, or hormone problems. If you’re sexually active, you may also want to take a pregnancy test. Drink plenty of water, eat well, and get enough sleep. If it doesn’t stop, talk to a gynecologist.

I had a surgical abortion. I bled for 2 weeks after that 2 weeks I had unprotected sex I was fine. But this time after the unprotected sex I bled
Female | 19
Some probable causes are Cervical sensitivity after a surgical abortion, which can lead to easy bleeding, and Cervical bleeding a bit after sex too. If bleeding doesn’t stop or gets worse, it is important to discuss it with a gynecologist who will check to see if everything is okay.

I am 21 years old, and I’ve been having an itch in my vagina but it’s not regular. I just realized now that my discharge is yellow but it doesn’t smell bad. What type of infection is this?
Female | 21
A yeast infection might be causing your symptoms. Itching and yellow discharge are signs. Moisture, tight clothing, antibiotics – these can lead to yeast infections. Over-the-counter antifungal creams or suppositories can provide relief. But if symptoms persist, see a gynecologist.

My periods date was on may 13 and i got a sexual intercourse on may 5. Is there is any chance of pregnancy here?
Female | 22
The possibility of pregnancy depends on the timing of sexual intercourse in relation to your menstrual cycle. Sperm can survive for several days, so conception is possible if you ovulated earlier than expected or have a shorter cycle. If you're concerned take a home pregnancy test after your missed period.

Female | 21
You are experiencing some irregular bleeding after taking the contraceptive pill kit. This can happen sometimes which is normal, as your body goes through hormonal fluctuations. The clot you saw is probably a result of this phenomenon. It's good to keep an eye on your symptoms and see whether the bleeding stays the same or gets heavy. If you have any problems, it's best to contact a gynecologist for more advice.

I am 24 years old my last period was on 25 April and after that on 3rd june I got brown discharge for two days , am I pregnant?
Female | 24
There are many different reasons why someone may experience brown discharge after their period. It is not necessarily an indication of pregnancy. It could be caused by hormonal changes, stress, or irregularities in the menstrual cycle. Feeling tired all the time, nausea, or tenderness in your breasts can be signs and symptoms that suggest you might be pregnant. To be sure, take a home pregnancy test.

Mam mera 2 March ko period date thi tho merko yha jnaa hai ki Mera ovulation time day konsa hoga
Female | 19
Your period dates provide insight into ovulation timing. Typically, ovulation occurs approximately 14 days prior to menstruation. If your last period commenced on March 2nd, your probable ovulation window could span March 16th to 18th. Some women experience mild cramping or vaginal discharge changes during ovulation. However, for precise ovulation confirmation, ovulation predictor kits offer a reliable solution.

I had a single sexual intercourse on January 16 and my LMP was on Jan 7.After wards I had done beta hcg quantitative blood test on feb 15,feb 21,feb 29,march 22 all have same value i.e <2.00 mIu/ml.I also got my periods on march 24-march 29.Medium to heavy flow with clots.Is there still any chances of being pregnant?Is pregnaancy is posotive with <2.00 beta hcg value??
Female | 24
Taking the data for granted, it is highly improbable that you are pregnant if your period starts after the intercourse and the tests for hCG beta quantitative in blood have a fixed value of 200 mIU/ml. On the contrary, consultation with a gynecologist is important in making a reliable test as well as in dealing with any issues.

I am 27 years old, i wanna conceive but periods came. How I will conceive and regularize menstrual cycle?
Female | 27
Irregularity in periods, no periods, or abnormal bleeding which indicates that you are not ovulating and condition is clinically defined as anovulation.
Even though anovulation is usually be treated with drugs for inducing fertilization, it is vital to evaluate any additional conditions that can affect ovulation, like thyroid conditions or abnormalities of the adrenal or pituitary glands.
On ruling out other medical conditions, fertility drugs will be prescribed by your Gynaecologist to induce ovulation.
Drugs containing Clomid and Clomiphene are considered as first choice due to its effectiveness and are prescribed to women for years. In comparison to other infertility medications, they have the advantage to be taken orally instead of injection. It is used to induce and regularize irregular ovulation by increase in pick-up rate of egg by ovaries. Another drug named Letrozole is used for inducing ovulation.
Certain fertility inducers can make the cervical mucus hostile to sperm and as a result keep the sperm from reaching the uterus. In such cases, artificial or intrauterine insemination (IUI) is performed (injecting specially prepared sperm directly into the uterus -- to fertilize the egg) which also thins the endometrial lining.
Super-ovulation drugs such as Gonal-F or injectable hormones which are responsible for stimulating follicles and egg development are prescribed by your Gynaecologist, depending on your situation.

Female | 34
It seems that you might be dealing with irregular periods which can make it difficult to determine your fertile window. Irregular periods may be caused by things such as stress, hormonal imbalances, or an underlying medical condition. To regulate your cycle and increase your chances of conceiving, consult a gynecologist who will advise on suitable treatments or drugs depending on individual circumstances.

My period date date is 17 may, what will be my ovulation date
Female | 33
In a normal menstrual cycle, ovulation usually occurs around 14 days before the start of your next period. Since your period date is May 17, you can estimate your potential ovulation date by subtracting around 14 days.

Stress, hormone imbalances, or medical conditions are potential culprits. If sexually active, pregnancy remains a plausible explanation. Pinpointing the underlying cause and obtaining appropriate treatment necessitates consulting a gynecologist.

Female | 22
A pregnancy test you took in April can help clarify things. Various factors, including contraceptive pills, stress, weight fluctuations, and hormone imbalances, may disrupt your cycle. If the test is negative, there's no need to panic. Simply wait a while or consult a gynecologist if concerns persist.
