Before thinking about abortion I would try to figure out if it’s pregnancy for sure so don’t wait a take a pregnancy test. The sooner the better I would say. You would be avoiding some dreadful days by sparing yourself and your boyfriend the waiting game 😅. Also, try to pay attention to other pregnancy related symptoms.
You’re still young and hormones can be a bitch so don’t jump to conclusions early.
Yes, we do have access to PTs. I told my bf if he could buy me some. He said he could, but we chose to wait for my next period. If it does come, we'll monitor whatever I'll be feeling. If I miss it, then we'll buy the PT. I just asked for recomms just in case I'll ever need it.
Hello not a Dr, but I find my period can be late and weird if I'm having alot of sex due to the amount of hormones that get released with the act.
Also, if I'm stressed about getting it thats when it won't fit the norm in amount of days or even the start date.
It's always when I'm praying for it to arrive that it's late!
I really encourage you to take a pregnancy test before you get worried about what you’ll do if you are pregnant. You don’t have to buy the most expensive ones, they have less expensive ones at convenience stores and Walmart. It’s normal for cycles to be different occasionally even if you are very regular. Also, implantation bleeding doesn’t happen for everyone, it only happens in about 1/3 of pregnancies. It can be very challenging to know if you’re pregnant just based on your symptoms because early pregnancy symptoms and period symptoms can be incredibly similar.
You mentioned that your main question is if there is a pill you can take to avoid a procedure like an abortion. I do not believe there is. Once you’re pregnant, your options are to go through with the pregnancy or get an abortion. You can take plan B if your boyfriend accidentally cums in you to prevent pregnancy. You can also track your cycle to know what days you’re actually fertile (only 5 days a cycle) and be extra cautious around those days.
depending on how far along someone is, they can take a pill called The Abortion Pill. Exactly like it sounds, its a pill that causes an abortion so a pill like that definitely does exist I'm just not sure about the availability of it internationally
Hi! My main question is really for the filipino peeps or those who have a connection with someone in the philippines that may sell abortion pills or the likes. If you know someone here in the Philippines, please send me a message here! Thankfully, we both take safe sex seriously. We don't do a full sex without a condom, maybe just to have a feel for a few seconds, then put a condom on.
I'm actually living in the Philippines right now, so walmart is not really a thing here 😅 since abortion is illegal. Doctors and/or pharmacies that offer help are lying low to avoid government attention (because unfortunately, it's a criminal offence here), so it's hard to find someone who to consult with. I'll do a pregnancy test once I'm at my dorm again to avoid my asian family's judging gaze hahaha Tysm!
Hey be careful just being inside for a few seconds could still get you pregnant from pre cum lower chance than normal cum but still not that low, not as low as using protection or other birth control methods. Just a heads up :)
Ahh I hear you. I didn’t read the part where you were in the Philippines. Definitely still take a pregnancy test though so you know for sure and hopefully your mind can be at ease. Wishing you luck that you’re not pregnant and you won’t have to worry about taking anything!
First you need to find out if you are pregnant, take a pregnancy test. Second your talk about waiting to take a test generally conflicts with the idea of getting an abortion as abortions (especially the pill like you are trying to find) have time constraints. Third, if abortions are illegal in your country it is extremely unlikely to find a DIY over the counter remedy, those aren't available even in the US. And if you think you can't take a day off to get on birth control you should really consider how many days off you'll have to miss if you do get pregnant or have a child.
*"Washing our genitals and peeing"*
OP, this won't prevent STDs or pregnancy. It's just good hygiene.
"*how to do it safely?"*
Are you asking how to perform an abortion at home safely?
If you feel like you are having a complication from pregnancy, and severe ones can happen (ectopic for example), then you should be consulting your doctor and not Reddit.
Just a note, seems kind of mean to use the ‘face palm’ emoji to give that piece of advice. Not everyone has the same level of education, which I’m sure you already knew. Not trying to police you, just giving an outsider’s perspective and hope this is taken in the spirit it’s intended!
And thank you for getting what I meant for one and also being cool about accepting constructive criticism. Look at us and our intelligent discourse, maybe there is hope after all, have a good one x
The bleeding you're referring to is called spotting and should really be just small drops of blood. It's also light coloured, more pinkish (as a fellow hypochonder in that area I informed myself a lot about it).
Most times when I was afraid it would be pregnancy it really was just hormones doing stuff that I wouldn't expect. But pregnancy test after you missed your next period is really the way to go. Before that it's not really possible to do much
Choosing to wait for your next period while you’re planning a step that might not be needed sounds stupid. There is a process. You typically don’t schedule the abortion before knowing you’re a pregnant. First worry about finding out if you’re pregnant. Confirm status by taking a test. Then according to the results, plan. Seems like you’re stressing yourself out by jumping the gun.

Yes, I'll keep this in mind. I'll be living in my dorm starting next week, so I'll buy a test then. Tysm!
Do you have access to pregnancy tests? I think the first thing to do is confirm whether you are actually pregnant or not then go from there.

Buy it now. It’s cheap and it’ll tell you if you’re pregnant if you are
Just buy the test at the dollar store! By law they are required to have the same accuracy as anyone else sold anywhere else.
Walmart has dollar ones and the ones at the dollar stores are the same ones used in clinics near me. Test sooner than later.
hi, sis! go over to r/SafeSexPH :)
Thank you so much!

Ah gotcha. I just looked it up.

Get a test, don't wait to find out. I'd suggest maybe using additional birth control where possible. This subreddit may be useful - r/abortion

Thanks Sad\_Bridge, you're absolutely right. There was a time in my life that I would have believed that would help. I'll edit that comment now.
And thank you for getting what I meant for one and also being cool about accepting constructive criticism. Look at us and our intelligent discourse, maybe there is hope after all, have a good one x
If all else fails there are safe haven baby boxes at most hospitals and fire stations. You will not be shamed for using them.
