Is bed rest necessary during pregnancy after miscarriages?
Hello doctor,
I have a past history of two miscarriages at 18 weeks. Hysteroscopy and laparoscopy confirmed cervical incompetence and my polypoidal endometrium was removed. I conceived again with a follicle test procedure during which CG 10000 was injected into my blood, but unfortunately, I had to undergo DNC at eight weeks because of no sign of fetal pole (no yolk sac and heartbeat). My TSH value at that time was 7.44.
Now I am on medication for PCOD and TSH. After my lupus test, I will be going for pregnancy again. My doctor suggested me not to do traveling, and to take complete bed rest this time. Is it necessary for complete bed rest for nine months? My employer would not be convenient with my complete unavailability. Can you help me to make rest less stringent? Could you advise how could I attend the office at least one day a week? How can I make it not necessary to spend the entire 24 hours in bed? This allows me to work from home.

Can Plan B pills cause spotting and cramping?
Hello doctor,
I took Plan B pills 34 hours after intercourse and one week later I had dark brown spotting. Then, I started having a red bleed during the week of my period, but it was not heavy. Now towards the end of my period, it is very light. I have period cramping and bloating. Is this because of Plan B or could I be pregnant?

Is it safe to take plan B pill after 11 days of abortion?
Hi doctor,
I am a 31-year-old female who just had a surgical abortion. It was my first and only pregnancy. I started taking the pill immediately (the same day as the procedure) and have taken it religiously at the same time daily ever since. I was put on Doxy as an antibiotic to make sure I did not get an infection after the procedure. I finished the full course of antibiotics. I had sex with my boyfriend 11 days after abortion and took the Plan B pill the next morning within 15 hours. Between my regular pill and the emergency contraceptive is taken so soon, how likely is it that I am covered?
