The moment we found out that i was pregnant my partner and i were really in shocked. It’s not that my partner and i don’t want a baby,it’s just that my annulment to my husband is currently in the process. This was unexpected,so terminating it was our only choice. We tried using alternatives at first like overdosing myself in vitamin c. I also took dong quai and parsley infusion and Pessary but it didn’t worked out. So i tried searching the internet looking for a medical abortion as i was really desperate to end my pregnancy immediately because i was running out of time. Then i found project 486, of course at first i was hesitant because i was thinking maybe it’s a scam just like the other websites found on the internet. I have no choice but i have to take the risk. Gladly they’re legit!!! 101%

I sent an email to alex asking if he could help me and then after several hours i got a reply and i was asked some questions regarding my health condition and of course about my pregnancy. After giving all the details being asked, alex sent me the number of my consultant (John) and then i immediately contacted John. In fairness, John was very hands on, he was there for me all through out the process. He knows his job very well, he explained me the things i need to know and what to expect during the process. After the phone consultation which lasted for an hour, he constantly checked out for me for an update. He’s the best. Kudos to team project 486 and to John of course!they were very organized, easy to work with and 100% success rate.

The transaction was fast and smooth so we started the procedure as soon as we got the package. My body’s reacting very well to the medications John said as i followed his instructions carefully. Day 1 and day 2 was very easy to follow. Day 3 (the miso day) was the hardest, i had to stay in bed for about 8 hours and fast for 16 hours but after that it’s all gone.

The moment we saw the embryo,i felt a roller coaster of emotions. At first i felt glad that it’s all done and then seconds later i felt guilty about it. I never knew i could do this as i love children very much but my partner reassured me that this was the best decision we ever made and he was right. We may lost a baby but had an angel instead.

  1. I am also currently a patient of project 486 and I’d like to share a short version of my story on why I made a decision to terminate my pregnancy. First is that I am a student and I don’t really have an income to support the baby, so the moment that I found out that I was pregnant I got scared because what was I supposed to do? I couldn’t bring myself to accept this pregnancy when I, myself am having a hard time just trying to get through my studies so I looked for clinics, pills, and methods for an abortion. After days and weeks of looking through the internet I came across a question on Quora where I found Project 486. As soon as i looked up the website and did my research I sent an email to Alex regarding about my situation. I felt relieved when I got a response hours later after my email because now I have hope and a solution to remove myself from my current situation, I am very thankful for the team of Project 486 and my consultant, Doctor John, without them I wouldn’t know what I would do.
