Hello everyone, my name is Shane. I’m just a normal girl who loves spending quality time with my boyfriend, Kurt. We share so many beautiful moments together, and our relationship means the world to me. But life sometimes throws unexpected challenges our way, and one day, everything changed in the blink of an eye. Hindi namin alam na magkakamali kaminh dalawa….unang² I thought normal cravings lang kasi paparating menstruation ko and mga mood swings Pero my bf told me to do a pregnancy test and that’s when I found out I was pregnant completely by surprise.
At that time, I was just a first-year college student, and honestly, Kurt and I weren’t ready at all to become parents. The news overwhelmed me, and I couldn’t stop crying. We were scared, confused, and unsure of what to do next. After many conversations and tears, we made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy. It was the hardest choice, but we felt it was the only option for us given our situation. In our desperation, Kurt searched online for help and found some medicines being sold on TikTok that were supposedly for abortion. We were so desperate that we didn’t think twice or wla nang paligoy ligoy pa…we order and wait until ma recieved your package…When the package arrived, the instructions were very not good or intimidating like fasting, heavy exercise, and other demanding steps. As the time for the procedure approached, Kurt started to have doubts.
He did some research and realized we had been scammed with fake medicine.I was ready to take the medicine, but Kurt stopped me just in time. I was so emotional and vulnerable, but he stayed by my side, calming me down and making sure I was safe. It was then that he discovered Project486, a page that connected us with a real doctor who could help. At first, I was skeptical afraid it might be just like before. But the doctor was different. He was kind, patient, and truly dedicated to helping us. Even though it was late, he answered all our questions and guided me carefully through the process. Kurt was able to ask every concern he had, and the doctor never failed to respond.
When the procedure was finally done, I felt a mix of emotions, relief, sadness, and gratitude. I loved that baby deeply and wanted to keep it, but we knew we weren’t ready to become parents yet. Choosing to end the pregnancy was heartbreaking, but it was a decision made out of love and responsibility. I am so thankful to everyone who supported us through this difficult time, especially the doctor and Project486.
Their help made all the difference, and I am grateful to be safe and healing now. This experience taught me so much about strength, love, and the importance of having the right support when facing challenges. Even though it was painful, I believe we made the best choice for us at this time in our lives. And I hold hope for the future when we will be ready to welcome a child with open hearts…🥹
