Is home abortion safe with iron deficiency & iron tablets?

I had my last period on October 18th, and I had unprotected sex on October 26th. On November 24th, I took a pregnancy test, which showed two lines, confirming that I am pregnant. I want to terminate this pregnancy, and I am considering a home abortion using pills. However, I have some concerns because I had an iron deficiency and was taking iron tablets for about two to three months. Given this, is it safe for me to proceed with a home abortion by taking pills?

Iron deficiency can make different medical treatments more dangerous, including abortion pills. The main issue is increased bleeding, which is a dangerous effect of having low iron. Before taking home abortion pills, it is very important to consult a gynecologist. It may help you with iron and also show you the best choices for termination.

If girl not do mastrubation and not do sex at agr of 20 than her hymen got tight

Female | 18

In cases where a girl has not engaged in any sexual activities or masturbation before the age of 20, she might experience a sensation of tightness in her hymen when she attempts to have sex. The hymen supplies a faint tear, therefore, the possibility that in the course of having physical intimacy, it does not stretch greatly could surface. Nevertheless, it's completely normal, and thus no need for concern.

I had unprotected sex on 6th oct then next day I took I pill tablet on 7th oct on 13th oct I got withdrawal bleeding and stop on 16th oct and Today is 14th nov still not get period why??

Female | 23

I-pill is not 100% effective and has side effects involving changes in menstrual cycles. I-pill often causes delayed periods as a side effect. I would advise seeking the opinion of a gynecologist for consultation and evaluation to exclude other latent conditions.

I am currently on phentermine for weight loss and metformin for insulin resistance. I also take vitamins b12,d3,water pills,and vaginal ph balance vitamins. I'm currently on the depo Provera birth control shot once every 3 months. My last shot was feb.13th. I have had more frequent headaches for 2 weeks and ive lost a lot of weight the past 2 weeks and im also very fatigued everyday. To add to it. Ive been more emotional and moody. My moods are all over the place. I recently had bleeding for about 8 days (march22nd to April 1st) it wasn't heavy at all (I didn't need a pad or anything), but it was red. Not dark. Bright light red. It had suddenly started. Lasted for 8 days and then suddenly stopped. I never bleed because im on depo. Maybe an occasional spotting for a few hours every 3 or 4 months, but never actual bleeding. I thought it was odd so I took a pregnancy test. Faint positive. So took 4 more and they were all faint positives. Both red and blue dye tests. I had no cramping while I was bleeding, but now I'm having slight tightness in my lower belly and some upper back pain. Dull back pain. What could this possibly mean?

You need to go to the gynecologist for professional assessment. According to the symptoms, phentermine, metformin, and Depo Provera may be hindering your menstrual cycles and hormonal balance. Blood and home pregnancy test kits may indicate the chance of pregnancy, but confirmation with additional tests is important.

Could I be pregnant?? I haven’t had a period since march 23 nauseous sore breast moody eating more than usual my tubes are tied

Female | 36

If your tubes are tied, the chances of becoming pregnant are significantly reduced. However, it's important to note that no contraceptive method is 100% effective. If you are experiencing symptoms take a pregnancy test to confirm.

i am having pcos..and want to conceive....pls suggest medicines .....for that

Female | 30

Conceiving with PCOS is hard, but it is possible with certain approaches. PCOS might cause irregular periods, weight gain, and difficulty getting pregnant because your ovaries make too many male hormones. Your doctor can prescribe drugs that help regulate your menstrual cycle and increase the odds of regular ovulation which can bump up your chances for conception. These medications work by balancing out hormone levels while raising the likelihood of successful pregnancy.

Since you characterized the symptoms, it could be possible that a STI has occurred. It is advisable to consult a gynecologist or urologist immediately and get tested so that the appropriate treatment can be administered on time.
