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 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.

I am 21 and i got pregnant. I missed my periods for 41 days. Is it safe to take abortion pills?

Female | 21

In that case discuss your options and determine the safest and most appropriate course of action for your situation. Your doctor can assess your pregnancy, and provide guidance on the safest and most appropriate approach, which may include medical abortion if you're within the gestational age limit.

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.

Semen fell on vulva and was wiped of immediately without any sexual interaction and i pill was taken withiN an hour

Female | 22

If sperm has been in contact with the vulva but no sexual intercourse took place, there is very little chance of getting pregnant. You acted so quickly by popping the "i-pill" that within an hour of the incident you lowered the risk even further. However, it may cause some mild side effects such as nausea, headache, or irregular bleeding.

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.

Female | 25



DURING PREGNANCY one sac develops in the uterus.. Another sac outside the uterus may lead to an ectopic pregnancy... A second sac in the fallopian tube may cause severe health issues...It is essential to consult your doctor and follow their advice.
