I am 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant and planning to have an abortion. I have already bought the medicine, but I am concerned about the risks, especially after reading about deaths connected to abortions. I had an abortion in 2006 using cytotec, and now I am 35 years old. I am emotionally and psychologically stressed. What are the risks of septic shock and hemorrhagic shock associated with abortion, and is my decision to have a transvaginal ultrasound followed by dilation and curettage safer?

I am concerned about the amount of alcohol I drank before I knew I was pregnant. I want to know the risk of damage to the embryo and if I should consider terminating the pregnancy to ensure the best chances of a healthy child, since this would have been preventable. It is an otherwise wanted pregnancy. Can you tell me the amount of alcohol and how along I was? What was my diet and body weight like when I got pregnant?

What are the chances of HIV, HCV, or other STD transmission, and can I have intercourse with my fiancée without a condom?

I have been experiencing light bleeding during my last period and this one, with no PMS symptoms. I am not using any contraceptives or medications, and I am 26 years old.
