Abortion Pills in Bulacan: Meds without blister packs and ridiculousIy difficult “preparation” are the biggest red flags (entry # 155)

Abortion Pills in Bulacan

 

It’s been a week since I had my MA (Medical Abortion) at 18 weeks which happened last March 16,2024 and I can say I’m relieved yet devastated.

I’m 21 years old and my partner is 23 still both on college level. After being together for more than a year we were very surprised and scared when we found out that I am pregnant things happened very fast.  May pangarap ako for my family at malaki ang pangarap ng family niya para sa kanya so we agreed that if this happens we are going to abort it. Supposedly my period will come around second week of december pero all I got was early pregnancy symptoms with a missed period. At that moment hindi pa ako nagworry kasi sometimes nale late ang period ko and I usually get those symptoms naman before my period rin. A week passed  ay hindi parin ako dinadatnan and my symptoms got worse so nagdecide ang partner ko bilhan ako ng PT.  We had our suspicions but maybe takot lang kami to find out the truth. When I took the PTs and all of them came out positive we knew exactly what we are going to do.

 

I found this page on facebook where they sell those pills needed for MA and syempre very naive kami and desperate so we contacted it and bought the pills. I was also well aware that it was pricey kasi one of my cousins had MA before. When the pills arrived I saw those mife na nakabalot lang sa paper and I had my suspicions na pero syempre desperate times come with desperate measures. Before ako magtake may prep pa na 1 week and it was the hardest part for me kasi pampahina daw ng kapit pero for someone na who’s preggy especially 1st trimester eh pampahina lang ng katawan and ang hirap maging consistent sa preparation. I was not mentally, emotionally and physically ready kahit na dumating na yung time na iinom na ako ng gamot so what happened is that na delay ng na delay yung procedure. That time sobrang frustrated na rin yung partner ko kasi hindi ko magawa gawa pero syempre sinuportahan parin ako and told me to take it whenever I’m ready.

I was already on my second trimester and alam kong need ko na magtake ng gamot and that night to ease my fear nagbabasa basa muna ako sa web about MA until I saw this one article from project486 about fake medicines and now I’m sure that what I have is fake and we have been scammed. Me and my partner fought about it pa and since I am already advanced, I don’t want to risk myself in taking those medicines. That same night I sent an email sa project486 and the next day I received their reply. After answering some questions needed I was referred to Dr. Jj and had my consultation and grabe it was very informative, nakakatakot pero I know that I am in good hands. Doc confirmed that my mife was fake and at that moment I was thankful I trusted my instinct that night.

After the transactions from project486, I received my medicines well packaged and this alone was reassuring na this time I bought legit ones. Wala nang prep prep this time for a week just light diet and fasting and you’re good to go and that’s what I did. First night I took my first mife then at 3pm the next day I took the 2nd mife and at 12 am again I took the 3rd mife. Doc Jj gave me 3 mife kasi I think advanced na ako eh. The next day was my miso day so I bought all the things I need para prepared na ako. Then at 8pm that night I took my first dose of miso vaginally. Doing the pillow maneuver was the hardest part kasi sobrang nakakangalay and worst ay nagstart na sumakit ang  puson ko idagdag pa natin na I was all alone in this procedure since malayo place ng partner ko. At 12am I took my 2nd dose of miso subligually and bucally, wala pang 30 minutes dinadiarrhea na ako and nasusuka at ang hirap pigilan. At that time wala paring lumalabas na kahit ano sa pwerta ko and I’m starting to get worried kasi what if di na to kaya ng gamot lang and D&E na talaga need. The pain became more intense as time went by pero wala pa rin lumalabas. I took my last dose at 6am na instead of 4 am dahil sa vomiting ko and I thought that taking it at the peak of my side effects ay baka masayang lang so again at third dose the pain, diarrhea and nausea was there but still no discharge. Sobrang worried na ako but still trusted the process. Dumating ang partner ko and comforted me because I was a mess in pain. Time went on until quarter to 3 pm na that was when I felt contractions, I was aware na di to magiging madali sakin because advanced na nga ako and I was expecting unexpected results either successful or not. That time my water broke and I felt that I was in a labor although di ko pa naranasan. After several minutes there were contractions again and it was painful to the point na my partner offered me to go to the hospital na but I refused. At that moment lumabas na yung POC and grabe yung guilt ko kasi I can see the almost fully developed limbs na. I cried and prayed for it before taking a picture. I waited again for several minutes for the placenta to come out before doc Jj confirmed na that it was successful. Grabe yung relief na naramdaman ko but syempre there was guilt.  We gave our baby naman a decent burial with lots of prayers and asking forgiveness everyday.  Sa Project486 I am very thankful kasi without them hindi to magiging achievable knowing na karamihan sa iba ay pera pera lang. Project486 cares about their clients and its very comforting on this type of crisis. I hope marami pa kayong matulungan na gaya ko na hindi pa ready sa new chapter ng buhay.
