It’s been more than a month now since I did the procedure with you Project486. It was a rollercoaster ride of emotions and it wasn’t as easy as everyone thinks And I’m here to share my story.
After a month of not having my period, I decided to have a PT which came out positive immediately> I really didn’t know how to feel, I was in shock. My partner and I talked about it and of course both of us are shocked by the situation in which we aren’t ready mentally and financially.
I searched everything about abortion in google and even tried to go to some OB GYNE and asked them if they prescribe the meds or do the procedure (abortion) in every private clinic I went to and said NO. Then I realized that in the Philippines it’s illegal. I thought it was simply going to the hospital and going to a doctor which I can buy/prescribe me pills/meds from but NO it was not.
While searching on the internet, I saw a comment on a topic about abortion saying ” project 486 helped me” then I searched about it and saw different articles and stories/testimonies which made me feel comfort. Then I emailed them ASAP after reading. I was anxiously waiting for their response so when Alex sent an email back I responded ASAP. Then I was able to talk with Dr.John. He explained everything over the phone. Discuss everything before letting me decide if I want to proceed. I trusted him and decided to do the procedure .Hindi ganun kadali mag decide promise madami-dami kang iisipin but when you got to talked with Dr.John he will make you feel safe and comfortable and he will not judge you on your decision)
After getting the medicines I decided to do the procedure ASAP, I took the first and second day medicines which I didn’t feel anything parang normal lang but it really depends iba iba ang effect sa isa’t isa.
On the last day it was really difficult because I just went on a trip and pag uwi I did the 3rd day procedure. I have everything ready. I did the process while my partner was with me for the entire procedure from the day we decided to do it.
After 1 hour of taking Miso I started to feel heavy cramps in my abdominal area. Then after another hour I can’t really help but to ask Dr. John if I could take the Advil for the pain then he said yes. After taking the Advil nawala yung cramps,I fell asleep and I woke up after an hour and felt like too much blood was coming out like water inside me when I was lying down. Then again after an hour I felt something come out which I could feel then I went to the bathroom and checked there was the POC and which was the result of successfully completing the procedure.
Throughout the procedure even AFTER the procedure Dr. John will be there to guide you, just don’t forget to update him on every single thing that is happening to you, even the little things. PROJECT486 has a great mission on helping women who aren’t ready to become a parent and who are in need in situations like mine. For that I want to say Thank you and I’m grateful for Project486! 🙂

Impregnant by foreigner who is married and struggling financially
Medical Abortion helped a graduating student from Baguio
hello po sana matulungan nyo din po ako natatakot po kase ako, second kopo ito pero namatay po ung first twin ko, at natatakot po akong mag 50/50 ako sa hospital, sana po matulungan nyo po ako.
Hello po I already emailed you po Sana po may respond po sa email ko
Hi please respond my email. Thank you.
Hello, I emailed you po. I hope you can respond to my email.
I’m Ae. Isa rin po sa mga hindi pa ready bumuhay ng isang inosenteng bata. Una pa lang at hanggang ngayon, hindi ko na talaga gusto dahil alam kong hindi lang ako ang mahihirapan. So, nung nagpositive ako ng pt, hindi na kami nag hesitate ng partner ko na ichat yung nagbebenta sa facebook ng pampalaglag. I took the risk, akala namin legit kasi may lumabas na blood clot pero nakita ko sa ultrasound, buhay na buhay yung bata na akala namin tira na lang. Hindi ko alam gagawin ko. Nag decide akong sabihin sa ate ko kasi hindi ko na talaga alam gagawin ko. Buti nakita niya itong project486. My partner did not hesitate na iemail sila, at nung nakausap ko na si doc, napaisip ako, “ganito pala siguro pag legit, hindi ako yung maraming tanong” then ang daming inexplain ni doc na ngayon ko lang nalaman. Sana gumana na this time. Sabi nga ng nasa taas na comment, sana malagpasan natin itong mga pagsubok na ito.
the reason I want to terminate my pregnancy is so that I can continue with my education and live my life without being destroyed by a mistake I have to carry for the rest of my life.
4th year college student here and masasabi kong di pa talaga ako ready magkaanak although mahilig ako sa bata hindi ko pa pala talaga kaya sa ngayon. Andami ko pang gustong gawin so hanggat maaga pa gusto ko ng i-end tong pregnancy ko. Nakakaiyak at nakakalungkot pero kailangan kong gawin and buti na lang nahanap ko tong “project486” biglaan ko lang talaga syang nahanap habang nasa priv clinic ako after TVS ko. And habang binabasa ko yung mga entry talagang na feel ko na legit or totoo to kasi andami ebidensya and pics na pinopost so kinagabihan nung nalaman ko yung project 486 inemail ko na sila and nagreply naman kaagad. Sa ngayon I hope kayanin ko tong process na to masakit pero kailangan talagang gawin.
