Where do I start? I was scared and hesitant at first to reach out to Project 486. Obviously fear, uncertainty, and doubt all blended together, and I didn’t know who I could trust. At the same time, I sensed their hesitation too but it was not from a lack of care, but because they were protecting themselves and prioritizing safety. That was something I came to understand and respect as the process went on that I think most people who will plan to inquire in the future should take note.

Despite the doubts on both sides, I made sure to do my part by being honest, cooperative, and responsible, so they could feel secure working with me. In return, they met me with patience, clarity, and compassion, guiding me through a situation I never imagined I would have to face.

I wanted to emphasize that the waiting period felt almost unbearable, especially with the holidays slowing everything down. I was constantly anxious, worrying it might be a scam, fake, or that something negative would happen. I know someone here might be reading this before they try to inquire here, and please just trust me when I say they are NOT A SCAM. I am an entire human being capable of making a choice and I am making this review to relieve others of the worry that they would be losing money; and going through such a complicated process that isn’t supported in the country. I empathize with you.

When the medications finally arrived, I didn’t hesitate to proceed immediately at night for Day 1. I followed every instruction carefully and respectfully, trusting the process and cooperating fully. Despite early concerns that my cervix might not dilate, the procedure was ultimately successful. That outcome alone felt like an immense emotional release after weeks of fear and uncertainty.

This experience showed me that the organization is truly real. Not just in providing access, but in prioritizing safety, education, and honest information. They don’t simply provide services; they take the time to explain, inform, and make sure clients genuinely understand what is happening to their bodies. I came out of this process feeling far more educated than I ever expected.

I thought I already knew enough about abortion, but I realized how little is actually taught or discussed in our very conservative country. I learned not only about myself, but about anatomy, the medical process, and the emotional and physical realities that are rarely acknowledged. They provided so much clear and compassionate information that, for the first time, I truly felt educated enough to understand that I (should) have a choice and that I am allowed to make that choice.

So many women in this country face immense difficulty simply because access to safe options and accurate information is limited. I am deeply grateful that I was able to afford this financially, but even more grateful for the privilege of being given knowledge and education m. Ultimately this is something I will carry with me as I continue to grow as a person.

Thank you Project 486 not only for the care and compassion, but the information I learned to make sure I was doing this procedure completely for my choice, for my own body. I was educated to advocate for my body and safety.
