View 1 RepliesI am writing this as my girlfriend and I are concerned about an abortion she had a little over 4 weeks ago. I would appreciate respectful comments and suggestions please.
When she had the abortion she was only 8 weeks pregnant, after 3 weeks we went back for a follow up appointment where they had her do a urine test. The lady came back to tell her she was fine.
The thing that is concerning us now is that her breasts seem to be growing as well as sensitive. She has not felt nausea as bad as before, but last night was pretty bad.. So there are still very obvious signs of pregnancy. Doing an at home test a few days ago, the test came back with the faintest line. Could it be possible that she is still pregnant?
If the abortion failed, she would be 12 weeks. Do pregnancy tests come back negative further along in the abortion? Is it possible that she may still be pregnant, or are her hormones still balancing out?
Should we go and get an ultrasound done just to make sure?
On February 17th I had an appointment for the medical abortion procedure. They gave me an ultrasound and concluded that I was 8 weeks and 3 days, so I qualified for the non-invasive option. They supplied me with a pill there, 2 pills for 24 hrs later and also prescription strength ibuprofen. Things went as they did, and presumably well, at that...considering. I started bleeding within 4 hrs of taking the second set of meds... At first heavy, then tapered down. I was at most spotting after the first 2 days, and that lasted for about 10 days. I concluded myself that this was successful and the symptoms of pregnancy seemed to disappear shortly after.
This morning I called the clinic because I was concerned with not having my period arrive. It had been at least 9 weeks since the pills had been taken and I wasn't entirely clear on how long it would take due to everyone's body being different. I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. They had me come in today in a rush, concerned that either it failed or I was pregnant with a second. I received another ultrasound and it surely came back as a failed medical abortion. I am now 17 weeks and a couple odd days. The technician seemed amazed and perplexed, as I am just an emotional mess... Contemplating all options from this point on. She said that I would be putting myself in danger if I decided to continue with the pregnancy. She also stated that it would not be fair to the child due to possible birth defects, etc. She has arranged for me to have the invasive surgery in 2 days to remove the baby and I am scared more than ever.
I am five weeks pregnant, I did a sonogram and it was implanted in right place. I've tried to terminate it with Cytotec three doses of 4 pills of 200 mcg orally (under the tongue for 30 mins before swallow) after every 3 hours. Have experienced cramps a very little red spotting. 24 hours later, i've expelled a little bit of brown clot, and two days after another piece of clot. But no bleeding at all. Does that mean that i need to repeat the dosis, if so, should i insert it vaginally?. Or should i have another sonogram to confirm that?. This is an illegal procedure in my country, and unfortunately cannot keep the baby.
View 1 RepliesShs still having abdominal pain after a week of using misoprostol alone in abortion..
View 1 RepliesI have recently done abortion(I was 3 weeks pregnant) using cytotec pills , I went on my periods and had cramps but that lasted for that day I took the Cytotec medication, after that I was not on my periods and no cramp then after the Dr had told me to take Metrogyl 200 the next day after taking Cytotec pills.
I want to know if there is a need for me to go to the gynecologist?
What if i use oxytocin orally and cytotec vaginally? Will it work? I bleed after 6 hours of taking them and pass large clots the bleeding was heavy and lasted for 5 hours then the bleed lessen. 2nd day the bleed was color brown. By third day the bleeding was totally stop. Is my abortion complete? It's been 2 weeks now and i don't have any symptoms of pregnancy. Thank you
View 1 RepliesI just found out I was pregnant when I was 9 weeks and 1day along. I barely know the father of the child and unsure of everything. A lot of factors had made me decide to end the pregnancy. The search for cytotec ain't easy in our country . it took a very long time b4 i got the meds. it was October 2014 and I was already on my 3rd month when I took the meds. first attempt: 1 oral 1 vaginal of 200mg. the following morning I had blood in my urine and a small blood clot came out. after 2days I went to the doctor to have some checkup and found put that my pregnancy still continued. Abortion is illegal in our country so I did not tell the doctor about it . 2nd attempt: 1 oral 1 vaginal failed. 3rd attempt: 1 oral 1 vaginal still failed. then last attempt because I only got 10 pills in total: 2 oral and 2 vaginal this time also failed. but on the last attempt I was shivering. the interval in doing these procedures took days.
Still, my pregnancy did not end. And I could still feel it alive inside and moving.
Later when I was 4 months along already , we went to an abortionist that massages the stomach and abortion can occur. But I was far along the pregnancy that massaging it is no longer effective but it makes the fetus dizzy and if used with meds it can cause labor .
Took us long to buy cytotec again now only 4tabs . since its very expensive and we are short on cash sad to say. I also took other pills that are used also for abortion but in my case they are only mild and can cause dizziness with fetus.
then the procedure was 2 oral 2 vaginal. 800 mg in total..
Sadly, it still failed.
later, i knew that the cytotec i took was not strong enough . and there is this cytotec pill available in the market that is pink in color and is 500mg ..
I will be taking it 2 oral 2 vaginal . and I hope it will work now. because I made a wrong decision in doing abortion int he first place. and its too late to stop because im afraid the fetus may now have abnormalities. Now I need to continue this and I hope its gonna work.
I am going through a major depressive period due to my marriage failure. I am 35 now, married 2 years back but after few months later only had problems in my marital life and my wife left me. Since then even after trying to convince her to come back i have failed to do so.
Now in this time period I have going through a very deep depression condition, at night just to go off to sleep I take up Restyl tablets in dosage of 3-4 tablets.
Twice I have been removed from my job due to my failure of reporting on time and lack of attention in duty.
Now even when I am writing I have joined a new organisation but lately taking leaves from work and staying back home taking sleeping pills in day time and cutting off myself from social life.
I had a stapedectomy in my right ear on 23-aug-2013 its 1-sep-2013 today but i really can't hear by my operated ear till now, The only thing that is worrying me is that I don't know if it worked or not. For those of you that have had the surgery, what was your hearing like afterward?
It just feels itchy and stuffed up (the gauze is still packed in there).
Has anyone had to wait until that was completely out to notice a significant difference?
can any one tell me is it ok to not still hearing by the operated ear if its ok then how long it'll take to hear normally by operated ear.
Hello girls! I’m new here. This forum and your stories inspire me to move forward. My dh and I have been ttc for a very long time. Unfortunately all our tries give no result. We’ve gone through lots of treatments. We had 5 failed cycles of ivf. The last one we had last year. After last failure I was broken. I understand that all blame is on me. Condition of my health doesn’t allow us to conceive naturally. Even ivf didn’t help! Last couple of months were so stressful. I blame myself and all these feelings tear me up from inside. I can talk to no one about my emotions and thoughts. I’m of that kind who keeps everything inside. That’s why I decided to come here and talk with you, girls. I think no one will understand me better then you. I’m 38 yo and I don’t want to waste more time. Recently my dh and I went for a walk. We wanted to spend some time together, talk and try to forget about all troubles. We live with his parents and it’s actually hard to do that at home. His mother only makes everything worse. She openly blames me that she still doesn’t have grandchildren. And she’s right! But it would be much easier to survive my failure if she was supportive. Sorry I wandered off the point. So we went on ‘a date’. We went to some family cafe. There were families with kids, who were playing around and laughing. And I looked at my husband… He looked at those kids with such sadness and sorrow. I know how much he wants to have children. I also dream to become a mother. Every night I imagine how it would be if everything was ok with me and we had normal family! But I really have no idea how to fix my problem… I talked with my doctor last week. He recommended to make ivf with donor egg. He told that usual ivf unlikely to give results. I think that I should use this opportunity! But where should I start? What should I look for? Girls, please help!
View 7 RepliesI have a complex dx including:ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, CAD, ICD implant, renal failure, epilepsy, diabetes, neuropathy and c-spine injury.I am 38. I am med compliant and see all of my specialists and PCP regularly. After my first MI at age 27 I developed insomnia. We did sleep studies and tried many medications. Eventually we found Seroquel to work. I started at 100 mg PRN and was up to 300 mg PRN @HS. I slept well. Actually had to crawl to bed to pass out. I feel I am addicted to this drug. I am down to 25mg at night which gives me 3 hours of sleep. With my medical dx sleep is important but I also believe taking less medication with less side effects is equally important. Seroquel has cardiac and neurological side effects. My team agrees it is time to stop the Seroquel but we have no strategy. How can I wean off from this medication and still sleep?

View 12 Replies I can't find ANYTHING that removes the pain! Co Codamol doesn't, the 'so called' pain relieving gels don't (I've tried 3 different types). Can anyone suggest anything else?
Yesterday I twisted my hips somehow as I got out of the chair, the pain was excruciating. Since then I can hardly walk (how does excercise, excercise fit in then?)
I had been doing so well, 20 mins walk per day (and I've always disliked walking!) - physiotherapy, etc.
I realised almost three years ago that my foreskin wouldn't retract at the age of 15, after some stretching I tried in the shower and finally went to the doctors to discuss this and I was prescribed with some betnovate cream to loosen the foreskin. I applied this for a few months and the results were good as I could retract the foreskin to wash in the shower, however I had a problem with the foreskin retracting in cold weather or when nervous because of skin tensing around the scrotum and shaft of the penis. I kept applying the cream until May 2011 and was still having this problem, however I could retract my foreskin to below the head with only slight tethering.
I also had issues with smell sometimes on the foreskin, which I guess was from leftover sperm cells that wouldn't go away when I cleaned in the shower. As you would guess this damaged my confidence as I was worried about engaging in oral sex or similar with a partner and wanting to be hygienic, so in the August of 2011, I discovered an operation called a frenuloplasty which told me would lengthen the frenulum to allow full retraction of the penis, as I had a slightly short frenulum.
The operation occurred in November of last year and all was okay to begin with, however it took longer than the said time for the stitches to heal. One stitch in particular looked like it was beginning to gather skin which was worrying, and around Christmas that time I noticed the penis was beginning to bend slightly when I retracted the foreskin which was worrying. I went to a GP about this and he told me to stick in and h said the scar tissue may not have fully healed up yet.
Progressively over this past year the skin has begun to gather more and more around the incision causing there to be less skin on the rear side of the penis causing it to bend intensely when flaccid. The scar tissue has also hardened up and caused my penis skin to thicken which is slightly unpleasant, whenever my penis is erect (in many awkward situations as you can guess) the foreskin retracts which is very uncomfortable and I am not at a point where it is constantly irritating and painful around the areas of my scrotum and penis as it feels like bloodflow is being trapped or something of the sort with my deformed foreskin structure. I was misinformed until the day of the operation that if this operation failed, nothing could be done and circumcision was the only option.
The way he said this to me at last minute and not in a very important way made me feel like this was a thousand to one chance of happening, therefore thinking this operation would sort out my problems. At this point I am severely frustrated and depressed about facing my future as I know I could have bared with how things were before my operation, and now it feels like losing a part of skin and a sensation I have grown up with naturally since birth is certainly not what I want to do.
I am not sure if circumcising my penis would benefit (stop it bending and hurting) and also I really do not like the idea of the head being permanently exposed and desensitising over time from rubbing on materials of my underwear. Please if anybody knows any alternatives that can help sort out my wrongly healed frenuloplasty then please help, as circumcision is a route that I do strongly not want to take and am feeling helpless and worried of my future sex life.
I had my ivf and it failed because i had fragmentation in my embryos is there a solution for this problem i have been trying to have kids for 10 years and my age is 35 and were thinking to redo the ivf again ....
View 3 RepliesI was prescribed Norethisterone yesterday by my consultant following a failed Mirena Coil and failed TCRE. I am now on a waiting list for a Hysterectomy. I have been told to take these as an interim period, but must take 3 tablets a day from day 12 - day 29 of my cycle. Has anyone else been prescribed them in this way and what effect did it have. I was given a prescription for stopping my periods for a holiday many years ago but can't remember what they were called. All my husband and I can remember is that we both described them as 'grumpy pills' because of my moods, so I am anxious about taking these.

View 6 RepliesHi everyone. I have been suffering from terrible reflux for about 2 and a half years. It's done about everything I can think of from given me insomnia to rejecting medicine, which has sent me to the ER countless times. I finally got a fundoplication, which has only seemed to work for about a month. My reflux is back with a vengeance, causing me to be up all night with a fire in my stomach and a complete loss of apetite, with an almost constant feeling of nausea. The only reason I can think why it's failed is either it's relaxed or my constant gagging from an irritated throat (which is terrible) disrupted it. Anyone have any thoughts on this?? I've suffered enough from this, and I need to get my life back on track.
View 7 RepliesI had a vasectomy in July 2009. In December as planned I commenced sending in the monthly sperm samples. I have now done 8 samples in total. The first was clear, as was the sixth. But all the others show "Few(1) - 1 sperm only seen in every High Powered Field". So as I have not had two consecutive clear samples, the hospital won't give me the all-clear yet. They say that what is happening is very rare after almost a year, but they also say they do not feel the operation failed.
I am very disappointed as almost a year on I am in no better place in terms of being able to have unprotected sex than I was before the operation. I would appreciate some independent advice on why this has happened.
