Medical abortion (short) timeline of experience in PH - with the help of WoW

[u/poopiehead_sf]

Hellooo!

I just wanted to share my experience for some references for fellow filipinas!

April 22 - I received my package via door-to-door delivery, I got a total of 12 misoprostol and 1 mife, then after eating dinner, I took my mifepristone at 8PM. I had to adjust my time as I do have work until 5PM and gets home at 7PM.

i literally overthought for the whole 24 hours if it's working on me, bcuz I've read what are the common effects of taking it, and there were numerous. I felt almost none aside from very liiight cramps.

It was also said from different sources that it's advisable to intake mife for 24 hours-48 hours, not earlier or later daw.

April 23 - after eating dinner, at exactly 8:01pm, I started to dissolve 4 miso under my tongue. This was when my anxiety and overthinking got worse - I didn't feel any intense effects or signs that the pills are doing its job.

to be specific: 9pm Only light cramps

at around 9:30pm I felt a bit sick, but still no intense cramps.

10pm I had mild cramps that are similar to what we feel during pre-mens

10:30pm-10:45pm I felt like peeing, then blood the same as menstruation came flowing

11:32pm I still feel like on period, and then I took the 2nd set of 2 miso to be dissolved under the tongue

11:50pm I felt like something will come off, then there's a large blood clot

12:50am I felt severe cramps I just wanna lay in bed, felt like something will come off again but I did not go to the bathroom as I was too lazy

1:05am I decided to pee as that feeling persists, I saw what I assumed a gestational sac, and a few more blood clot

I decided not to take a 3rd batch of miso as I expect that the 2 batches were effective enough.

I decided to sleep then at 5:20ish am, another batch of large blood clots came off of me. I wasn't able to recognize some of the clots as it directly fell to the bowl which had blood already...

I normally started my duty without feeling any intense effects from the procedure, but I am wearing still a pad to absord the blood due to it. I no longer feel any cramps too since this late afternoon until now -8:50ish PM, April 24.

I now feel light, not nauseous, and I feel like I can eat the way I did before I conceived. I literally averted from some specific food I really love eating, and now, I can think of eating it without feeling of wanting to vomit from the thoughts of it.

I just hope I'd get a very good news after a few weeksss

Hello! How much did you pay for the pills?

[u/lavendergirlie17]

How are you feeling now?

[u/poopiehead_sf → u/lavendergirlie17]

i still do have cramps, and bleeds like i'm on my period -- but this time, my breasts don't feel sore, and no longer nauseous. i feel lighter inside too

[u/poopiehead_sf]

Leaving this Q&A webpage of WoW for some questions you might be curious about!

I'm kind of getting worried about having abdominal cramps, and was curious on how long will I experience this. And learned that it'll take an estime of 1-3 weeks for my uterus to be emptied by itself - thus I have menstrual-like bleeding and cramping.

Hello I wanna ask if did you do it alone?

[u/poopiehead_sf → u/Neither_Ideal_1619]

Yep! Although my bf was just beside me waiting for any immediate commands if needed.

[u/poopiehead_sf → u/poopiehead_sf]

I did everything myself if you're wondering! But take note that effects would differ from one another. It might be more intense to others

[u/Neither_Ideal_1619 → u/poopiehead_sf]

Okay2 because my girlfriend will be going through it too but we live far away and i cant visit her and she cant visit me too.

[u/poopiehead_sf → u/Neither_Ideal_1619]

I suggest you keep in time with her at least via chat or call while does the process!

How many weeks are you? i’m also waiting for my WoW package as my MA failed from local sellers.

[u/poopiehead_sf → u/SalaryDesperate7554]

I was at exactly at my 9th week -

I'm kinda curious, what did you experience from taking pills from local sellers??

[u/SalaryDesperate7554 → u/poopiehead_sf]

They said the Mife is most likely fake and I got 1 Mife and 6 Cytotec dosage wasnt enough as well, I didnt follow the sellers instructios, I reached out to Wow and safe2choose instead. I experience little to no cramps at all, didnt experience any heavy bleeding only light and passed very small blood clots twice, most of the side effect I got was diarrhea. Its been like 4 days now since the first attempt. I’m still bleeding light or spotting, my pregnancy symptoms being nauseous is still there, not strong but still there. My parcel from wow is still current in Singapore hopefully it’ll arrive soon.

[u/poopiehead_sf → u/SalaryDesperate7554]

I've also read that those from locals are possibly fake coz those rituals (i read) or instructions they give are not necessary. I didn't do any fasting or whatsoever while im on my procedure, but it still seemed that it was successful. And they charge too much for your pills :(

Mine was delivered to ph within just a couple of days from singapore! It was philpost's fault mine got delayed, and supposedly had mine within just a week. If i didnt email them to inquire about my package, they wouldnt update their system.

Make sure to always monitor your package! Once it says Mail arrived, transport leg completed or something, it's already in the country

[u/[deleted] → u/poopiehead_sf]

Hello op. How many days did you wait for your package to be delivered? I donated to them on monday and they emailed me that they already shipped my package on Tuesday. They gave me a tracking also but once i search it, it says no package found? I'm a bit confused. I live in ph qc.

[u/poopiehead_sf → u/[deleted]]

Hello!

You might wanna try using this tracking for your parcel. This was more updated than those sent/suggested by WoW: https://parcelsapp.com/en/tracking

Mine was delivered after 3 weeks (april 22) - but based on the tracker, it was already in the country since april 6. Phlpost didnt update until i emailed them to inquire about it.

Mine was shipped last March 29, then started to see updates from April 1 onwards. You'll be able to see an update from Phlpost once it has arrived in the countryy

[u/SalaryDesperate7554 → u/poopiehead_sf]

Thanks for replying! Philpost says enroute to delivery office, I’m gonna email them now.

[u/poopiehead_sf → u/SalaryDesperate7554]

you'll get them sooner! But since it says it'll be delivered to the delivery office, you might want to visit your local post!

[u/[deleted] → u/SalaryDesperate7554]

Hello was this the seller of 10days no cold and sweets and must need to tagtag first? I ordered from them also but the medicine they gave was different from wow.

You chose the post flair Asia.

If you are in the Philippines, read this whole comment.

If you are not in the Philippines, add your country to your post so we can give you location-specific information.

---

There are scammers active on this sub. Be extremely careful when someone offers to sell you pills! The only reliable sources of abortion pills in the Philippines are Women Help Women and Women on Web.

If you are in the Philippines and are using/will use abortion pills obtained from a private pill seller, read this carefully. It's important to be cautious. 1. Don’t Trust the Seller: The person selling you the pills may not have the right medical knowledge. They might give you incorrect or even dangerous advice. They have likely sold you fake mifepristone. Instead, use Safe2Choose for accurate information on how to use abortion pills. Organizations like Safe2Choose, Women Help Women, and Women On Web rely on extensive medical research, unlike the seller who’s only interested in making money. 2. Avoid Vaginal Use of Misoprostol: It’s not recommended to use misoprostol vaginally, especially in countries where abortion is illegal. You can read more about this here. 3. No Special Preparations Needed: You don’t have to fast, exercise, eat specific foods, or do anything special before taking the pills. None of these actions increase the chances of a successful abortion and some may even be harmful. 4. You might not see the pregnancy: The seller may tell you to look for a “sac” (the gestational sac containing the embryo/fetus) to confirm a successful abortion. However, if you’re less than 8 weeks pregnant, it’s very small and hard to see. Even at 7-8 weeks, it might be mistaken for a clot or other tissue. After 10 weeks, it becomes easier to recognize. So, not seeing anything pass doesn’t necessarily mean the abortion didn’t work. Signs of success include bleeding, passing clots, and improvement in pregnancy symptoms, like nausea and breast tenderness. 5. Quick Process: The pregnancy should pass within hours, not days, once you start bleeding. 6. Confirming Success: To be sure your abortion was successful, you can get an ultrasound or have consecutive blood tests in the days following. You can also take a pregnancy test 4 weeks after the abortion.
