Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
It is true that C-sections can cause problems in other pregnancies due to the scar that forms in uterus.This can increase the risk of uterine rupture during delivery of surgical abortion.
So the risks that carry every procedure of abortion ,are higher when you a history of previous C-section.
But since the last c-section was 18 months ago ,an early medical abortion can be pretty safe in hands of a specialized doctor.
Usually previous c-sections don't increase the risk of complications for a medical abortion (when pills are used to end the pregnancy).A surgical abortion carries higher risks.
I would suggest to consult an OB-GYN doctor to confirm the pregnancy.
A pelvic ultrasound is necessary to evaluate the uterus and the thickness of the uterus wall in the areas of the c-section scars.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any other question.I will be happy to help.
Kind regards,

Hello again.
Biotin is considered pretty safe drugs but it can cause some mild side effects like acne,diarrhea,dizziness etc.
If the symptoms are mild you can continue taking the supplement .If these symptoms persist you may need to lower the dosage to 5000 mcg and see if the symptoms persist.
Hope it helps.
