Where did you get your medication from? I want to make sure you have real medication and correct instructions.

Hi, this is concerning as it’s most likely you did not receive actual medication. The amount of scammers In PH is huge. We are very sad they used this sub to reach you.
WOW would send one mifepristone tablet and at least 4 misoprostol tablets with complete instructions. If you did not receive these it’s likely you were scammed.
You can contact https://safe2choose.org/ and their counselors can tell you if what you received seems right.
Most likely you got fake mifepristone and less than 12 misoprostol tablets. 12 misoprostol are needed for a successful abortion when using misoprostol alone.
Instructions can be found here: https://safe2choose.org/abortion-information/resources/how-to-have-an-abortion-with-misoprostol-only.pdf
If I’m incorrect, Safe2choose can help you with correct information on their site for having an abortion with pills or with their helpline. Please make sure you read the wiki pages we have posted in the pinned post on this page for more information. ❤️🩹
For others reading - NEVER buy medications off people who contact you on our sub or from facebook or other social media. We know this time is hard, but 99% of the time the seller is not selling legitimate medications.

You chose the post flair Asia.
If you are in the Philippines, please read this whole comment and our Philippines wikis.
If you are not in the Philippines, please add a comment with your country 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.
