Hi this is Claire from Cebu. I was really, as in really devastated when I found out I’m pregnant. I have an irregular period mn gd so I thought dli rko preggy not until I was 15 days late from my expected next menstruation. Nag worry na akong partner na basin I’m preggy. He suggests na mag pt ko so nag buy jd ko and took it 2am sa kadlawn. And turns out positive.

We both really know nga di pa jd mi ready to have a baby ky I’m the eldest child and he’s the bread winner sa ilang family. And I also don’t want to raise my child nga dli nko ma provide ilang needs. Ky bag-o pa sd ko nka graduate. Mao pay pag sugod nkog prove sa akong self sa akong parents. Even sa akong partner nga sila duha sa iyang father nag provide sa iyang fam. Kahibaw jd ko nga dli lalim mahimong inahan samot na nga layo ko sa akong ginikanan nga naa sa Mindanao. Who will guide me and take advices? And what would they feel if nabuntis kog kalit. I would fail as a first born child. Ky high jd ilang expectations sa akoa labaw na ang family sa akong father is very into old tradition mindsets.

Nabalaka jd mi both ni suggest pa akong partner na mo duol mi ug OB for pills na pampahilis sa embryo. But kahibaw jd kong di sila mo provide or advice to do it ky we know bawal sa pinas. And we even do online consultant sa ob pero we failed. We do a lot of thorough research to get abortion pill. And we made sure na di mi ma scam. So glad my partner found Project486 he suggests me to approach Alex. And I’m so glad Alex is very quick to respond. He let me contact Dr. J. And amo jd gi dali² ang procedure because both me and my partner don’t want to abort the embryo if it is fully formed or we may call it a fetus. So I ask Dr. J kung unsa na kadako ang 4-6weeks so na kampanti rko na it’s not totally formed pa jd. So we did the procedure as soon as possible and turned successful thanks to Dr. J. The process is not really scary. In fact it was really smooth. I can say that pwede ra jd kaayu nimo mahimo alone. And for the pain, it was like a menstrual cramps nga 8 or 9/10. So girlies out there consider taking this step. And be brave enough to take the decision and pls make sure if this is what you really wanted. And don’t worry, Alex and Dr. J is there to help you.

This is also a lesson for me to practice safe sex and to be responsible if hindi pa talaga ready. And this would be my first and last abortion. I will take full responsibility sa susunod na may mabuo and will accept it whole heartedly.

To Project486 thank you so much! And kudos to Alex, Dr. J and to the team!
