Abortion in the City of San Juan Metro Manila<\/h1>\n

Greetings Sir Alex and Team,<\/p>\n

I hope all of you are doing well and is continuing to help those who are in
\nneed.<\/p>\n

Please hide my identity.
\nIt took me a while to write my story as I was still recovering while
\ncontinuing with work.
\nActually, as I am writing this hindi ko parin alam sasabihin.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

7 years of no contraception<\/h2>\n

My partner and I have been together for almost 7 years and we very
\nintimately active from the very start. However, just this year, we started
\nliving together and were less active due to constraints of work. I think
\nwrong sa end namin na we never practiced any birth control methods and we
\ngot lenient with it kasi never ako nagkaron ng possible pregnancy on my
\nend, and no lates or missed periods at all throughout ng relationship
\nnamin. That’s why we were caught off guard nung nalate ako for more than a
\nweek.<\/p>\n

I had a hunch that I am expecting, as I always do my research, and I’ve had
\nteenage pregnancy before.
\nAnd true enough, I did my test november 15, and it came out positive.<\/p>\n

\"cytotec<\/p>\n

Promotion, inflation\/economy<\/h2>\n

Excitement and dismay<\/h3>\n

Pareho kaming gulat pero with very different perspectives. Naexcite siya,
\nako naman nadismaya. Mainly because I just got promoted at work rin and we
\nwere only starting out our lives.<\/p>\n

Dismaya<\/em> in a sense rin na parang naulit yung nangyari sakin during my first
\npregnancy. I was fresh out of highschool and got admitted to my dream
\nuniversity, only to find out na it would be taken away from me. But the
\ndifference here is that noon, I was a teenager, I was not made aware that I
\nhad options. Unang una sa lahat, nakakalungkot dahil we live in a very
\noutdated country in terms of women’s health care. Very big X ang usapang
\npro-choice. Illegal pa nga e. But now, I am of age naman, actually at the
\nage na tamang tama lang to start a family, pero I do not want this
\npregnancy at all.<\/p>\n

But those are all my initial thoughts. Ramdam ng agad ng partner ko na ayaw
\nko though he was excited, and after half a day since finding out that I am
\npregnant, narealize rin namin na we are not ready. Sa totoo lang ang hirap
\nng buhay ngayon, economy na economy palang natin, and the world we live in
\nis very unsafe sa totoo lang. And ayaw naming mag bigay buhay sa bata na
\nalam namin na hindi pa kami ready para mabigyan siya ng magandang buhay. So
\nwe talked about it, and he told me na I have his full support kung ano man
\nmaging desisyon ko.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mifepristone and Misoprostol<\/h2>\n

A few days passed, I did my research and was able to find out about
\nProject486. I read stories of other women and the success rate of the
\nprocess and how safe it was. So I emailed the team and got a response the
\nsame night. I spoke to Sir John and he educated me about everything that I
\nneeded to know. He even shared his sentiments about how outdated our
\ncountry is pag dating sa mga ganitong bagay, which I completely agree with.
\nSo we that, my partner and I decided to proceed with the procedure.<\/p>\n

The medicines came in, and Sir John provided me with a strict schedule that
\nI followed to the tee.<\/p>\n

\"abortion
related study: BIOAVAILABILITY OF MIFEPRISTONE IN CAPSULE VS TABLET \u2014 https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18477493\/<\/a> \u2014This study suggests that the two formulations\u00a0 of mifepristone (capsule and tablet) are bioequivalent. \u2014\u2014Bioavailability \u2013 The degree and rate at which a substance (as a drug) is absorbed into a living system or is made available at the site of physiological activity<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First day was the Mife #1 day. I followed the light meal and fasting hours.
\nSa totoo lang yes mejo mahirap ung fasting, lalo na at babad ako sa
\ntrabaho, so I coped with the thirst and hunger by sleeping. On day 1 I
\nstarted to bleed lightly. Very minor cramps lang, I’m really good with pain
\ntolerance. I remembered nung unang pregnancy ko, I was supoosed to be on
\nlabor and I was induced pero wala akong naiindang sakit. The bleeding, as
\nper Sir John is a very good sign na my body is reacting well to the meds.<\/p>\n

Day 2 of Mife #2, followed the strict schedule, and the bleeding was a bit
\nlike a normal period, tipong day 1 of my flow siya. I have high hopes na
\nmagiging successful talaga yung procedure. There was pain and cramps, pero
\nsince I have high tolerance sa pain, I was able to bear with it.<\/p>\n

Day 3, the big day, Sir John instructed me to do buccal instead of the
\nvaginal method. If I am being honest at this point sobrang lata and
\nnanlalambot na ako, due to fasting and all, and I though to myself na I
\nwould get by this process by sleeping the pain and hunger away ulit. 1
\nhours after doing buccal ito na. The pain na di ko inaakalang pwedeng
\nmakakatapat ko. And after 4 hours in total, I felt like I wanted to poop or
\nlet some blood out. Gawain ko kasi na when I am on my period, and may
\nonting sakit, I would sit on the toilet (with diapers on) to let the blood out.<\/p>\n

Nung unang cr ko, mejo marami raming dark blood cloths ang lumabas.<\/p>\n

I sent them photos but confirmed Sir John confirmed na hindi pa ito.<\/p>\n

\"abortion<\/p>\n

So I changed my diapers<\/p>\n

and went back to bed. 30 minutes after, I felt to urge again to go to the
\nbathroom, either to poop or again, let some blood out. Nagulat ako ng may
\nbumulwak na blood cloths ulit, but this time may kasama ng fleshy matter na
\nparang may liquid sa loob. That first thought that came to mind was that
\nito na yung baby namin. Reason being is that muka siyang parang amniotic
\nsac. Or bahay bata kung tawagin satin.<\/p>\n

\"abortion<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I sent photos and pina bulatlat nila sakin to be sure.<\/p>\n

\"abortion<\/p>\n

My thoughts were confirmed nung nabutas ko siya, parang
\ntubig yung pumutok.<\/p>\n

After Sir John and Sir Alex saw the photos, they confirmed that I was
\n“Officially not pregnant”. They provided me with post-op recovery
\ninstructions and advised me of what to expect afterwards.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A lot of\u00a0 what if’s<\/em><\/h2>\n

Here is the thing. Bago ko pa macontact ang Project486, as days went by na
\nnagsastart magsink in sakin na may dala dala akong bata, a future child
\nnamin ng partner ko, a product of our love, may hindi kasi maiiwasan na
\nfeeling na you are starting to love this being na dala dala mo. Kahit yung
\npartner ko, he already loves the baby kahit di pa siya technically
\nnagfoform. Maraming what ifs, possibilities na nawala, pero again, it is my
\ndecision and my partner supported me. Being practical, hindi talaga tama na
\nmag dala ng bata sa mundo ng hindi kayo ready. Sadly dahil sa baliko at
\npaurong ng mindset ng karamihan, hindi nila to naiintindihan, and we as
\nwomen are being robbed of our rights to make decisions for our own bodies.
\nI am happy that there are pro-choice organizations like Project486.
\nSinwerte ako dahil I did my research and hindi basta basta nagtake ng kung
\nano ano, at pumunta kung saan saan due to panic.<\/p>\n

Sa ngayon, if I am being honest, hindi ko parin napoprocess lahat mentally
\nand emotionally. Binababad ko nalang isip at katawan ko sa trabaho para d
\nko maisip kasi pakiramdam ko sasabog ako, lalo na at wala kaming mapag
\nkwentuhan ng partner ko, tinatago namin ito to ourselves. Pero after ng
\nproject sa trabaho ko humingi na ko ng leave rin to go through the grieving
\nprocess.<\/p>\n

We kept our baby for now sa isang box and soon we’ll buy a plant to serve
\nas his\/her resting place.<\/p>\n

If you do not know what to do and have no one to turn to, you can place
\nyour trust to Project486 team. Walang halong biro. They won’t judge you, in
\nfact they are giving you your power back to make a decision for yourself.
\nWhat ever you are going through and what ever may come after, they are here
\nto give a helping hand.<\/p>\n

To our would-have-been baby, if the time is right, sana ikaw parin yung
\nbumalik samin, and hopefully that time we will be able to give you the life
\nyou deserve.<\/p>\n

Warm regards to all and thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
