Abortion Pills in Taguig City, Metro Manila
Not all women want to be mothers
Never in my life have I intended to have kid/s. Hence, the horror that I felt when I’ve learned that I was pregnant on May 10.
Siguro ganun talaga sa buhay – yung mga ayaw mo, yun ang binibigay. Habang yung gustong gusto mong makuha, pinagkakait.
People around me encouraged me to continue with the pregnancy. For a while, I thought they have changed my view on this matter, thus, I took care of it – visited an OB and took prenatal vitamins.
But anxiety suddenly hit me. Isang araw, nagising na lang akong sobrang lungkot because of the situation that I’m in. Should I just accept my fate according to society’s expectations? Alam ko sa sarili kong hindi ako ganun – I always have a clear vision of what I want to achieve, what I want with my life. I am that strong-willed. I also thought about my future – how could I possibly raise this child alone? I’m not a good person, so anong kasiguraduhang magiging mabuting ina ako sa batang to?
Scammed by FB seller but didn’t stop searching for legit meds
That’s when I started researching about the A-word. I jotted names of sellers who seem legit and started messaging them. But sadly, I was scammed by an FB seller – I received mifepristone and misoprostol tablets packed in plastic. In short, pekeng gamot ang pinadala sakin, thus, my pregnancy wasn’t terminated.
Takot man maloko ulit, I mustered all the courage left in me and sent an e-mail to Project 486. Their blog stood out from the rest of the online sellers that I’ve researched about. It only took them a day to respond to my e-mail and schedule an over-the-phone consultation. Sir John educated me about mifepristone and misoprostol – what sets legit from fake meds apart in the market, how they should work, etc. After my consultation with him, I felt relieved and I immediately booked for the procedure (June 02 to 04).
I prepared myself – emotionally, mentally, and most especially, physically – prior to the procedure. Sinanay ko yung sarili ko to eat as little as possible dahil pagdating ng procedure, you will be asked to eat only light meals dahil mas effective daw ang meds on an empty stomach.
Then comes day 1. Kinailangan kong idahilan ang pregnancy cravings sa ate ko as I prepared pasta for dinner. Then, I waited until 12 midnight to take the first mifepristone. The next day was the same – I had to make excuses to my colleagues as I take the second mifepristone and refuse to eat at our mid-year party. I also had light spotting that day, which, according to sir John is a good indication that my body is responding well to the medicines.
The third day was the toughest. I’m living with my sister kaya ang hirap-hirap magdahilan kung bakit ang aga kong ‘matutulog’ (per the given schedule, you have to insert the misoprostol in your V at 4PM then lay down until 12 midnight). Once again, I blamed it to my pregnancy hormones. I experienced stomach cramps almost 2 hours after. I’m just uncertain if they were mild or severe as I have high tolerance to pain. Nevertheless, I took them positively. Na tumatalab na yung gamot dahil may nararamdaman na din akong gush of blood. Ni hindi ko ininda yung ngalay dahil sa ‘pillow maneuver’. At 8PM, I had to take misoprostol bucally and that’s when more blood came out and mas constant na yung cramps. Pero dahil nga mataas ang pain tolerance ko, hindi ko to masyadong ininda.
I waited until 12 midnight, as instructed. I went to the restroom and dun ko na nakita yung isang lump ng dugo sa diaper ko. And when I peed, ayun, yung unang part ng POC, lumabas.
I don’t know kung saan ko nahugot yung lakas ng loob ko, pero I just scooped it, washed it, then send the picture to sir Alex and sir John to confirm if na expel ko na talaga yung POC. As I was waiting for a response, I felt na may lumabas ulit sakin – another part of the POC. I then sent the evidence to sir John and sir Alex. The former confirmed na I’m no longer pregnant, then sent me reminders post-procedure.
Relief, not guilt
I cried not because of guilt, but because of relief. I made this conscious decision from the start kaya alam kong ito ang gusto kong kahinatnan nito. There might have been a slight pang of guilt for not feeling guilty for what I did. But that’s it. I carried on with my day – with no sleep, I reported to work and conversed with people as if nothing has happened.
So to you ladies out there na may ganito ding sitwasyon, do not be afraid. If you’ve made up your mind to terminate your pregnancy for whatever reason you may have, do so. It’s your choice, really. Pero after nito, let’s all be cautious of our actions. Yes, sex is addicting, but we should always do it safely. Let’s all be wise kasi at the end of the day, tayo ang talo pag walang nanindigan satin.
P.S. I buried my POC next to my favorite plant. I’ll be carrying this kung san man ako mapadpad so it would be a constant reminder of how brave I was – for fighting for what I want and refusing society to dictate my decisions.

Hello, please respond to my email. Please please please
I was somewhat in a same situation with op. I wasn’t ready to become a mother, I was starting a new job in 2 weeks and I couldn’t imagine raising a kid when I’m just starting out at work, I don’t even have a health card and leaves yet. My partner is still studying and is really supportive but we both knew it wasn’t the right time yet.
We were so panicked when the tests came out positive. The only thing we were thinking was the next step, it was really difficult to find help in the Philippines so he ended up buying mife and miso on FB, by the time we calmed down we realized we gave money to scammers. That’s when we came across project486, I immediately emailed about my situation and the medicines we have, true enough, Dr. JJ said the mife is not to be trusted because it came in a plastic ziploc. I wish it wasn’t so difficult to find help here in the ph, women have no choice but to trust scammers and sketchy sites out of desperation.
I was thankful to have another option that was legit, I felt confident in the doctors that they have here, very professional and approachable anytime. More power to the team of Project486!

i badly need help since me and my partner were not yet ready for
this responsibility
I felt instant relief over being able to talk and ask someone questions about my unwanted pregnancy. I was referred toDoc John and he guided and answered every question I had. He even was able to personally speak with me over the call. He was able to provide a more than thorough explanation with regards to the procedure the risks what i should look out for incase i decide to source my meds elsewhere and what my options are. I am glad to have found this option and would someday love to be able to establish a well meaning organization such as this when I’m a fully established professional.
I somehow share the same view as the writer. Ayaw kong magkaanak dahil ayaw kong dumating ang panahon na maranasan n’ya lahat ng hindi magagandang bagay na nararanasan ng mga tao ngayon sa kani-kanilang buhay. On the other hand, may part sa akin na gustong magkaroon din ng anak in the future. Pero sa ngayon, alam kong hindi pa ako handa. Hindi pa ako handa emotionally and financially. To give you a glimpse of what I and my girlfriend are experiencing right now, yes, we are pregnant — unwantedly. Hindi pa kami handa sa totoo lang. Kakasimula ko pa lang sa trabaho at wala pa akong ipon since hindi pa ako regular and hindi pa rin sapat ang sweldo ko rito. Sobrang mahal na mahal ko ang girlfriend ko. Gusto kong s’ya ang makakasama ko sa pagbuo ng pamilya sa future. Sobrang swerte ko sa kan’ya in all ways. Gusto kong bumuo ng pamilya kasama s’ya, pero sa ngayon, alam naming hindi muna. Hindi pa namin kaya. Sobrang overwhelming nung feeling and overthinking sa mga possible na mangyari na maaaring maging cause ng pregnancy na ito. We decided to do MA although alam namin na hindi ito tama pero mas lalong hindi pa kami handa. To make a long story short, we did some research about dito sa MA na ito hanggang sa mapadpad kami sa isang site na na-mention ang Project846. Hindi kami nagdalawang isip i-explore kung anong meron sa site na ito. Nakita namin sa mga shared experiences nung mga prior patients kung paano sila i-assist ng mga consultants nila. And doon kami nagkaroon ng tiwala na matutulungan kami ng Project846. Nakausap namin sina Doc Alex at Doc John and sila ang tutulong sa amin sa lahat ng procedures na kailangan naming gawin para maging successful ang lahat ng ito. We know na we’re in good hands, need lang namin magtiwala.
– Me and my partner decided to have an abortion kasi we’re still college students and di pa kami ready sa responsibilidad. First try is yung sa mga fb sellers which is unsuccessful totally walang nangyari and obviously we got scammed. Nalaman ko tong Project 486 sa comment and nagulat ako na andaming stories here ng ibat ibang tao. Syempre nandoon padin ung takot na baka mascam nanaman kami and syempre as students pa wala naman kaming income. But ganon pa man is itong Project486 is nakuha ung look namin ng partner ko the way they talk and di sila nakukulitan sa mga paulit ulit na questions hanggang sa masatisfied kana sa mga sagot nila sa tanang mo. Kagandahan pa dito is walang pilitan para lang kumita sila talagang may mga mabubuting kalooban and gusto talagang tumulong.
