Cebu: Abortion Pills from FB didn’t work so we searched more and found Project 486 (entry# 139)

Hello everybody,

I am miss K 20 years old from Cebu Philippines, patient “PRJCT486-101223Bk” a successful client of project486. If you are reading this, I am giving you hope that project486 will be able to help you and not to put your health on risk. All of this is an honest reflection of my whole pregnancy journey no more no less. I hope this letter will find every women na gustong makawala sa problema at nawalan na nang pag-asa sa buhay.

 

To begin, it all started noong delayed ako sa aking period. Yes, regular po talaga ako every month po ako dinadalaw. My last period was September 2 – 20 palagi po akong nagnonotes sa aking menstruation para itrack kung kailan ulit ako datnan. And noong dumating yung buwan ng Oktobre first week dito na at may parang may instincts akong preggy ako medyo kinakabahan ako kasi walang sign na duduguin ako. Kami ng partner ko ang nagduda kasi pareho naming alam na active kami sa sex at last time we had sex ay wala kaming ginamit na protection sadyang withdrawal lamang. Lesson learned, wag magtrust sa withdrawal method always use contraceptives. Always do SAFE SEX.

 

Fast forward, nakapagdesisyon na kami ng partner ko na bumili ng pregnancy test. Parehas lang tayo sa feeling na kinakabahan at nahihiya bumili ng PT lalo na at first time kong bumili. Yung tipo parang hihinaan mo yung boses mo bumili kasi nahihiya ka but I managed to buy 2 PTs. OCTOBER 12, 2023 (9:00 AM) ito yung oras na nalaman ko na pregnant ako. Dali dali ako nagsend ng result sa partner ko for confirmation nga na totoong magkakaroon kami ng baby. At dati pa man nong nagkapagstart kami ng sex buo na ang desisyon namin na pag may nabuo, ipapaabort. Pero di ko inakala na that time magiging totoo. Totoong makakabuo kami kasi everytime we had sex we always use condoms talaga pero that month of September lang talaga kami nagkamali.

 

Di ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko para nawalan ako ng pag-asa. First week na nalaman kung buntis ako full of regrets yung naramramdaman ko from going to school up until going home walang ibang pumapasok sa isip ko kundi BUNTIS NGA AKO. I am stressed di ako kumakain ng maayos at nagsisimula rin yung symptoms ng pregnancy ko tapos I can’t concentrate na sa school stuffs. Then sa apartment na tinitirhan ko kasama ko yung cousin ko ayaw ko malaman niya na pregnant ako. Lahat ng naramramdaman kong symptoms inilihim ko ng patago. There are these instances na napapangitan ako sa amoy ng pagkain nya pilit ko itong binabalewala pero pag nasusuka ako lumalabas ako sa room namin. Second week of knowing na preggy ako hatred naman yung nararamadaman ko sa sarili ko kasi hinayaan namin na may mabuo pero ipapalaglag lang ang aming sariling baby. Hanggang ngayon malungkot ako/kami, i am in the process of healing pa and i still feel sorry for our baby angel. We currently always visit church everytime makakadaan kami especially my partner he always do have time to talk to our baby and especially to him.

Next, we had a contact na from our first seller that was October 12, 2023 (8:54 PM) and i bought the meds October 13 (7:40) from Facebook Seller. Yes, HINDI PO PROJECT486 ito. During my pregnancy journey tulad ng sainyo hindi na ako mapakali. Me and my partner searched for meds kasi desidido kami ipaabort hanggang maaga pa. We are in a rush. Sa totoo lang my partner even look for pampalaglag meds from pharmacy pero wala sakanila ang pumayag. So ako sa part ko, ang ginawa ko lamang ay magsearch online. Una akong nagscroll sa tiktok at yun nga dun lumabas yung mga untrusted suppliers ng meds or shall I say scammers and by that nalaman kong may available na meds online so may part sakin na nagkaroon ng pag-asa. But I remember I have my classmate na lalaki na nakakaexperience na magpalaglag ng baby and I reached out his girlfriend first. Before that happened, I ask permission to my partner if okay lang ba sakanya na may ibang makaalam na preggy ako we can benefit from them naman kasi they had their abortion and we can freely ask questions without judgments. After that I reached out his girlfriend through online we had long conversation and she recommended me the seller where she bought the said meds kasi yung sakanya successful yung process and that gives me hope kasi lumabas yung sakanya. I don’t really know what’s with her kasi yung sakin iba yung outcome. The process feels like a torture for me everything feels unsafe and risky.

Unlike to her experience my FIRST ATTEMPT RESULTED INTO A FAILURE AND COMPLICATION TO MY OVERALL HEALTH. Halos 1 month bleeding ako after the unsuccessful process. Araw-araw ako dinudugo at medyo di na kaaya-aya because medyo brownish na yung lumalabas sakin hindi fresh blood tapos pangit na yung amoy parang patay na dugo. Noong una after the payment akala ko ditso intake na ng meds but NO. FB unreliable sellers, may 1 week process pa. May dapat iinomin like black coffee and ginger tea tapos may mga bawal kainin like sweets kasi nga raw makapagpalaki sa growth ng baby may iinsert rin sa V mo which is primrose para raw pampalambot sa cervix. At sakanilang proseso ang pinaka-importante ay yung tinatawag nilang “TAGTAG” it means excessive exercise like jumping jacks at buhat ng mga mabibigat na bagay. Sinunod ko yan lahat for a week but during my proc day it was October 25 (10:57 PM) my first intake of cytotec blood clots lang yung lumabas sakin. And ang reasoning ng seller sakin ay MAKAPIT YUNG BABY namin ng partner ko. Iyak ako ng iyak kasi halos hindi na kami kumakain ng partner ko para makabili ng meds. Pero buti nalang nandun ang partner ko during my proc day hindi niya ako pinabayaan and i was thankful for having him. Aminin man natin o hindi medyo kamahalan nga yung meds at kinukuha lang namin lahat ng yun sa allowances namin. 4 weeks akong pregnant nung nalaman namin na preggy ako. I have my first attempt during my 6 weeks of pregnancy and we’re both in a rush kasi ayaw namin na patagalin pa yung baby sa tiyan tapos failed pa. Nung di lumabas si baby A naging (x5) lahat nga naramramdaman naming kaba, takot at stress lahat lahat.

For the second time, we searched online and we never trusted fb sellers this time. I even contacted my classmate and his gf na mine resulted into failure. I didn’t blame them ofcourse ipinaalam lang namin because they were both cheering us up during the process. Since 5th week of pregnancy ko na, we always had misunderstanding na sa partner ko because we are both in a rush and natakot na kami. But we are blessed we are able to find PROJECT486 this time. First my partner had a contact with them through email. And right after that ginawa ko lahat ng sinabi niya I captured my PTs then may nakasulat na patient code ko at ang project486.

 

My second attempt all started during 29th of October 2023. I downloaded What’sApp and reached out to Doc John. Doc John immediately replied then I had the consultation the same day at 9:00 AM. Nabuhayan ako ng loob kasi I knew from the very start na I’m in the right place na because I also read the articles na nakaupload sa website nila and mostly is the same nang experience ko na nakapagtry sa ibang sellers then it resulted to failure but project486 able to help them. After the consultation mas naging kampante ako because Doc John able to share all the important infos about the meds unlike the first seller na binilhan ko and ofcourse sa health ng clients nila this is their first priority yung safe ang health ng clients nila. It took only 1 hr of conversation lahat ng dapat malaman ko ay ibinahagi ni Doc especially ang meds na iinomin ko. From that moment I am sure na magiging success yung procedure ko.

 

On that same day October 29, 2023 Doc John immediately sent my timetable after the consultation. Their process feels safe walang bawal at dapat kainin especially walang tagtag. Inshort they follow the standard procedure. Ang dapat gawin lang ay diet and fasting. Their team is very kind and patient they give me discounts, special thanks to Sir Alex and Doc John. Sa totoo lang naiyak ako nung binigyan kami nga additional discounts kasi talagang hirap na hirap na kami ng partner ko wala ng natira sa amin from our first attempt. We managed to bought the meds November 6, 2023 (3:17 PM) this time nabuhos na talaga namin lahat ng partner ko nagkautang-utang na kami online. Dumating yung meds sa amin November 11, 2023. Una agad kinabahan ang partner ko kasi iba yung packaging ng meds nakasealed na bottle. Wala kaming makita na iba like mife and miso at dahil dun wala pa kaming lakas loob para buksan ito we contacted Doc John immediately but sinabi samin ni doc na iopen yung bottle at doon nga nakita namin doon inilagay yung meds. Hindi pa ako makapagtake ng meds agad-agad kasi nga bleeding pa ako from my first attempt. I had my proc day noong November 16, 2023.

Actually first and second day of my proc feels like normal day lang hindi ako nahilo, nasusuka or what. But it was tiring kasi mina-manage kong di ako magbleeding. Tapos hindi na saakin bago yung fasting. Ang pinakamahirap lang sakin ay nakahilata buong araw kasi ginawa ko talaga yung para maglessen yung bleeding ko. Sinabi sakin ni Doc na “Ideally, the procedure is best done without the bleeding . Pag may persistent bleeding after a botched procedure, the SOP is to visit the OB and get an ultrasound” kaya ang ginawa ko ilessen yung physical activities na makapagresult ng bleeding ko. Third day the BIG DAY it was November 18, 2023. First, I had the combination intake ginawa namin yun to make sure na hindi masasayang yung meds because i still have my bleeding nga. I am very worried during the process because wala akong kakaibang nararamdaman. The cramps is tolerable and nagstop yung bleeding ko. No presence of blood during the process. Naubos ko na lahat ng miso around 12 AM o checked my diapers pero wala akong nakita everything was clear. Chills at mild lang na lagnat ang nararamdaman ko. Fast forward — kinabukasan may lumabas sakin na parang laman it looks like the major POC. But im in doubt because during that time im in my 10th week of pregnancy at akala ko fetus yung lalabas sakin. But Doc John said na it’s possible na stunted yung baby namin because of our first attempt.

 

After a week of the procedure may signs of successful yung proc ko. Hindi na ako nasusuka, nahihilo at may lumalabas na milk sa breast ko. Doc John still encourages me to have updates from time to time but they have 95% confidence na successful yung proc because of sufficient indicators na nararamdaman ko sa katawan ko. December 4 2023 around 6:21 AM I tried to have PT but may faint line na sobrang labo and it’s okay nga daw kasi may hCG pa saking system after the successful proc. After a week I tried to take a pregnancy test again it was December 11, 2023 (7:08 AM) and this time wala ng faint line NEGATIVE na yung result ko. From that same day 3:44 PM dinatnan ako sobrang hina lang ng dugo ko. Tumagal yung dugo ko hanggang December 22, 2023 may time na sobrang lakas ng dugo ko even after a week probably because 2 months ako hindi dinatnan.

 

Above all, I’m grateful to have project486 through my pregnancy journey because without them I’m not able to surpass my problem. Sana magtagal pa ang kanilang grupo at marami pang matulungan na mga babae na hindi pa handang mag-alaga ng baby. We just visited church 2 days ago with my partner ipinagdasal namin si baby we felt sorry for our little angel and promise namin na kukunin namin ulit siya pag handa na kami. Kudos to PROJECT486 u never failed us, deep thanks for helping us tama kami sa aming pinagkatiwalaan this time! Salamat po sa lahat lalo na kay Doc sa haba ng kanyang pasensya every time may tanong kami lage nya iting sinasagot.

 

Since I’m writing this during Christmas season I want to greet y’all MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎄❤️

  1. Thank you for this article. This gives me and my partner more assurance that Project 486 will be able to help us. Tbh, we’re still afraid that maybe we will get scammed but reading your reflection somehow alleviates our fear. We are really looking forward that this project will be able to help us perform our planned MA successfully.

  2. Hello, I’m Kath, 27 years old from Mandaue City. I’m a former patient of Project486, and although it’s saddening, I find myself needing their services again for an abortion as soon as possible. I understand that abortion is heavily stigmatized here in the Philippines, and I don’t want to subject my child to a life filled with insults and challenges.

    The decision to undergo this procedure was incredibly difficult for both me and my boyfriend. The news of my unexpected pregnancy caught us off guard, and we found ourselves grappling with emotions of shock and uncertainty. Despite the tears and sleepless nights, we ultimately decided that terminating the pregnancy was the best choice for our future aspirations and current circumstances. With dreams to pursue and my ongoing college studies, we knew that becoming parents at this time was not feasible.

    Project486 has been a source of support and guidance during this challenging time. My boyfriend and I have made a pact that this will be our last abortion; if a similar situation arises in the future, we will accept it and not turn away from it. This unwanted pregnancy has served as a valuable lesson for both of us to prioritize safe sex always.

    To the young individuals out there, I urge you to prioritize chasing your dreams. While my boyfriend and I have made mistakes, I implore you to heed the advice of your parents before it’s too late.
