Hello Sir Alex,

Sorry it took me a while to finish my story. I don’t know how to start and what to say.

Again, thank you so much for helping me!

****

I already have my own family blessed with a 2-yr old son. Me and my husband is as good as any other couple.

I knew I would get pregnant after that very intimate night. But of course I’m still hoping my period would come. The day I missed my period, I immediately tried home PT. Negative. A sigh of relief.. A week after, i tried another home PT. Faint positive. My days went horrible. Sleepless nights.

I’ve googled “how to abort”, came across a blog for herbal abortion. Thanks for sissy who answered my query and suggested project486.

My hubby insisted for check-up with my OB. I had tvs done showing I’m 6weeks and 1 day. The OB prescribed medicines which i did not bought.

If you’ll think of it, we can actually raise another child. We both have a stable job.

Then why would abortion came into my mind? Because the father is not my husband. It sucks. It breaks my heart knowing that my husband is loyal to me. Why did i do it with someone else? He is our landlord in our small business of which we’re renting a small space. He asked me to do it with him or else he will not grant my husband’s request. I know it is wrong but I said Yes. We did it twice.

I emailed project486 and Sir Alex replied. I texted Sir John, Sir John asks few questions and set a date for our phone consultation. Since I cannot do the call at night because my hubby has zero idea about this, i requested Sir John if we can do the call in the morning. Immediately he replied yes. Madaling kausap. Sir Alex sent me the to-do details of abortion. And frankly, gusto ko ng mag back out kasi parang ang hirap. Alam ko mahihirapan ako sa diet kasi naman Christmas season, kainan dito kainan dun. Hindi ako nakatulog kakaisip sa process.

Morning came and i had more than an hour conversation with Sir John. Sinagot niya ng maayos lahat ng questions ko. Same day nagbayad ako for the pills. Lucky me bonus time din ngaun so I has extra money. Unfortunately, it took me 6days bago ko nakuha un package. I followed Sir John’s modified timetable.

Day 1 – i texted Sir John i have a lot of what ifs in mind. He reminded me to be stress-free and keep calm. At this point, if i take the med, there is no turning back. So i tried so hard for the low folate diet and fasting. Took the miso at midnight, tried to get back to sleep to avoid vomiting. Sir John made sure i did not vomit within 2-3hrs of intake. He is so hands on when I started the process. He answers my queries regarding foods I can and cant eat.

Day 2 – another low folate diet and fasting. Dito na talaga ko nahirapan pano ako tatakas sa officemates ko and sa hubby ko. Hindi ako sanay kasi I crave for food, madalas ako magutom. Pero iniisip ko sabi ni Sir John, there’s no turning back. Focus..

Day 3 – i went home to our province for my day 3 kasi I cannot do the procedure at home. We’re living with my husband’s parents and they still have no idea that i am pregnant. Today is the day. Make it or break it. Sir John reassured me that as long as I follow all the instructions, everything will be fine. Had the miso V insertion, then miso buccal. I can feel a lot of blood flow in my diaper. Sir John reassured me that’s good news. The pain for me is manageable, yung ngalay lang sa pillow maneuver ung mahirap. At 2pm, pagtayo ko, tuloy tuloy ang blood flow. I rushed to the restroom and boom! I feel like the procedure was a success. At first I’m so scared to touch and take pictures of my POC. But i need to be brave. I sent pictures to take Sir Alex and waited for the next instruction from Sir John. Few minutes later, Sir John said I’m doing great, the procedure was a success and that I am no longer pregnant. What a sigh of relief!

Then nag sink-in na talaga sa akin that I am no longer pregnant. I cried a lot. I called my husband. My sister saw me crying and insisted to go to the hospital. Of course I asked Sir John and followed his advice.

I asked Sir John if i cam eat rice meal after the procedure. He said yes, to regain my strength. Haaaay at last, i can eat at my normal diet again.

I went back to Manila the following day. Hubby insisted me to do TVS as instructed by my OB. Ok, so we went to the mall..presented my results to my OB and I was advised to see her on her clinic hours.

My horrible days were over. Pagpasok ko sa office, lahat sila nagsasabi pumayat daw ako. Sabi ko nalang diet ako bago dumating ang Pasko so I can eat a lot by that time.

Now, I am still healing and praying for forgiveness.

I never doubted Project486 and I recommend them to girls who are indeed eager and decided to terminate pregnancy. They will never leave you and do not hesitate to ask questions.

Thank you Project 486. Kudos to the team!
