Hi! Good day to all of you

I write because I just want to share my experience and how this people have helped me a lot to overcome it.

We actually know that we did an unsafe intercourse and I know that something will come as we expected since it was unsafe. So the time has come that we found out that it is positive. Yes it is positive! But we both decided that we’re not going to continue this result as of many reasons. First is that I have a son who will turn 2 years old of this year and I think it’s not the right time for another one since our income is not that big. We want to give the best for our baby.
Second, when I get pregnant, I have to end my job since my “paglilihi” is so struggle, vomiting and nausea is so heavy that I just want to lie down and rest for everyday, so we are thinking that we will have no income if I end my job, and lastly, if we continue it, who will care my baby since both of us are working? So, we end up searching for somebody who could help us.

So we found someone that who has the same exp. with mine and ask her help. So she try to tell me that I should take dong quai, parsley infusion and take some vit. c a lot.. but sad to say, it didn’t work. So we try to contact her again and offer me a plan B which is a medical abortion.

At first, I’m hesitant to do that, I was afraid since when I read it, it was risky and I don’t know what will be the outcome, I taught it can cause us another problem. I just trust to the person behind this, it was Sir Alex and John who really very strict to do the procedure but very supportive. I see how they really want to help others who have the same problem with mine.

So, when we did the procedure, OMG! Struggle is real, since I always vomit, in my mind I can’t make it.So, I just did my best. It’s really hard for me during the fasting and during miso insertion into vagina since I have to lie down for 8 hours, no water & no food… It’s kinda f****ng hard…. After,8 hours of pagtitiis, finally it was successful, the POC came out and finally Sir John and Alex do an assessment and texted me that it was successful.

I hope that we will be responsible enough when time like this.

Thanks to you sir Alex and John for guiding us when we did the procedure. It was a great help.
