Hi sir Alex and Sir John, I’m very sorry po I didn’t have the chance to post this sooner. Please change my name to JY and my location. (We named our baby that way po kasi) Thank you po.

I just turned 19 and the last months of me being 18 was one of the most memorable times (so far) in my life. That’s the time when I learned that I was pregnant. I was stressed that time because I was a working student and I work on a graveyard shift. So when I was expecting for my period that month, it didn’t came. I was not in panic yet because I thought maybe it’s late because of my situation–stressed and no rest. I waited for few more days but it never came. Then, I started getting nervous about it. I was mad at my boyfriend because he keep telling me that it’s just late and I’m not pregnant. I keep surfing on the internet about the possible signs of pregnancy and the only visible symptom was the missed period. And then I convinced my boyfriend that I should really take PT and yes, it’s positive. He wanted to keep the baby but I don’t. I told him that I need to graduate first and I am not yet ready for the responsibility. So, I searched for any ways to take this out of me. To discontinue the pregnancy. I know it was against my religion and my mother would really get mad and maybe curse me so I tried my best to keep it low. I had to. I know some people would tell me to try and talk to my mom, but she will never be like that. Internet showed me the blog of miss Maeann Sampaguita about her journey on her herbal induced abortion. She sent me all the details on what to do. But in the end it didn’t have any effect on me. Being kind as she is, she told me about project486 and that’s how I learned about this medical abortion.

Abortion–big word for those people who grew up serving at churches like me. I cannot describe or even fathom what I should feel about this. But, my decision was final at that time. I need to. I had to choose myself this time. So, I contacted them and they were so organized and everything. They had to know who they were talking to. Then, I was introduced to Sir John. I could say that all throughout my journey on this, I was never wrong whom I should trust. Project486 was really legit about this. They will really guide you and help you all the way on the procedure. Their instructions were precise and easy to comprehend and follow. To all those women who will choose to undergo the procedure, please think about it carefully and you should have to have a strong heart about this because this isn’t an easy tour. But, I could assure you that all the people behind Project486 would really help you. From telling you what the procedure were all about, what to expect and every details that you should know to the transactions and to the actual procedure and even after it. They are the ones that will really help you.

Thank you so much to Sir Alex and specially to Sir John, I knew I was really makulit that time and I’m really, really sorry for posting late.

To my almost baby, I’m really sorry. Mom had to do this but I know you would understand me because mom is still weak and I couldn’t even afford to drag you in this world where I couldn’t still give you the best life you deserve. But, know that me and your dad loves you so much.
