The only downside is that I had to wait a MONTH for it to arrive, which had me on tenterhooks. Which is why I’m saying, stock up now, even if you aren’t pregnant, for every modern, empowered lady should have it in her medicine cabinet, for herself or a friend in need. The earlier you take it, the better, for you can achieve success with lower dosages and subsequently lesser side effects (google some mifeprex/misoprostol studies to see what I’m talking about) and the longer you wait, the statistically lower your chances of complete abortion become (which means you’d have to go to a clinic anyway to finish, if you only get it partially).
Doing things the “normal” way, and why I think it sucks
Now, the typical, recommended, approved, tested, documented blahblahblah method of chemical abortion in the United States is this: you go to a clinic, or your ob gyn, explain to them you’re pregnant and you don’t want a baby, and then they administer between 200mg – 600mg Mifeprex to block progesterone and “loosen” the uterine lining, then 800mg Misoprostol 12-72 hrs later to induce the contractions to get things “flowing” as it were. Then they bill you for $500. Or maybe you have to pay it upfront, depending on where you’re going. I have a FEW problems with this process:
1. Cost. WTF.
$500, are you NUTS? I’ve got a mortgage and a kid to take care of. I can only think of about a billion things I would much rather put that money towards. I don’t need financial stress on top of the crappy feeling that I screwed up and accidentally got pregnant. At the particular online pharmacy I bought from they even sell a combo package — you get the SAME thing that they administer at the clinics for $500, for $45. If you’re super broke, skip the Mifeprex, cuz you can even buy TWENTY 200mg Misoprostols for $27 (That’s 5 abortions). Ideally the regimen is started with Mifeprex, but I have managed to successfully terminate with a single Misoprostol when I caught it very early on, I think my period was about a week late at the time. If you’re super-early, one Mifeprex alone might work but it’s a bit riskier, because the thing you ultimately want is for the placenta to detach from the uterine wall, and if you’re more than just a couple weeks along, just blocking progesterone for a few days may not be enough – you need those contractions, which is what the Misoprostol does.
2. Privacy and simplicity, or lack there of.
I can go into a drugstore and take care of a yeast infection without explaining the gory details to anyone, why the heck can’t I do the same if I discover my period is late? I have no problem whatsoever with anyone terminating a pregnancy, but something I totally hate about American culture is either the feigned look of empathetic pity you get from people that have never been through it, or on the more extreme end I have heard of judgmental gynecologists insulting their patients’ lifestyle. Or yet worse, if you’re in a red state, you might not find a place to serve you at all.
3. Time.
I hold a full-time job at a technology firm, take care of my baby daughter, make time for my partner (her daddy), play 3 sports, and pursue my artwork on the side. And occasionally like to have a social life. Why should I have to schedule appointments at a providers convenience instead of just buying what I need over the counter or online? Not to mention, they usually make you wait until you’re 6 weeks along – so you get to be all stressed out about it for a while instead of taking care of it immediately.
4. Dosage.
This is an interesting one. After the time I took just one Misoprostol when a week late, I had come to the conclusion that they REALLY overdo it — that the 800 mg of Misoprostol was responsible for causing contractions so intense you feel like you’re giving BIRTH, and that the same could be accomplished with much less. However this time around, I’m led to believe it’s the Mifeprex + Misoprostol combo in the system that is responsible for vomiting, diarrhea and knee-buckling contractions. Even so, I think they over-prescribe the Mifeprex. One 200 mg Mifeprex is likely to make you a little dizzy, a little nauseous for a few days, but not enough to need to take time off work (for me anyway), and it’s enough to get you bleeding by day 2 or 3. I’ve read “official” recommendations that state 400-600 mg taken all at once. Ugh. I don’t know what that does, but I don’t imagine it’s pleasant.
My Recent Experience
So here’s the whole saga from start to finish. I’m going to mark it by LMP (Last Menstrual Period). So week 4 is when I was expecting my period. Week 5 is when I realized “oh shit, I’m a week late.”
Week 5 – 6
Having clearly miscalculated ovulation due to some post-baby irregularity and neglecting to take my usual herbal precautions due to being busy to an insane degree, I found myself a few days *late.* I got a test from the drugstore, and lo, there appeared the faint line confirming my worries. Crap. For a week I went with neem suppositories and ingesting massive amounts of Cotton Root bark, none of which, did a damn thing. That’s when I started looking around online and reading up on “illegal” pharmacies. I found one forum where commentators discussed online pharmacy ratings (I think stuff like pharmacyreviewer.com or pharmacychecker.com or something but I can’t remember), One person questioned the low rating of a pharmacy he had bought from numerous times with positive experiences. The discussion meandered into the “why” behind the low ratings, and some suggested that large “legitimate” pharmaceutical companies purposely do this to try to undermine competition from companies selling the same drugs for a fraction of the price. Huh. So I followed one commentators link to privatedrugstore.eu, found what I wanted, hesitated, pondered, worried I was going to be the victim of credit card fraud, or that it might not work, and a hundred other unpleasant scenarios, before I finally purchased 1 pill of Mifeprex. Why just one Mifeprex? Well, after one of my chemical abortions under the supervision of an RPA, I had started bleeding on day 3 after taking the initial Mifeprex, but before I had taken the Misoprostol. My hypothesis was that ALL I needed to do was block progesterone, and poof, the pregnancy would be weakened enough to leave my body without inducing contractions. So OK, I was wrong, so for chrissake, don’t do this.
Week 6 – 10
My order was placed, all I had to do was breath deeply and wait. This is easier said than done. Especially when the first trimester is making you tired and hungry but you’re keeping it to yourself instead of beaming and exclaiming to everyone that you’re pregnant while demanding their subway seat, or pork chop, or chocolate cake, etc. This can be lonely and stressful unless you have someone close to share it with. Week 10 – 13
So the Mifeprex finally arrives. Whew. I was able to track it online, but there was about a week delay due to extreme weather conditions affecting the post office. It came in a small padded envelope, there was a postage stamp from Singapore, and nothing on the outside indicating what it actually was. The pills were in a foil blister pack like the image at the beginning of this post. I swallowed it, and around 24 hours later, started to bleed. Hallelujah. However, it didn’t continue. By 48 hours after I had taken it, the bleeding had slowed and then stopped. I got online to see what this means in the context of a miscarriage and found out it’s medical definition is “threatened miscarriage,” that it happens with some frequency, and as long as the fetal heart-rate remains strong and the placenta is intact, the pregnancy will in all likelihood continue. *sigh.* So I did a little more research, because the Mifeprex is expensive, and I was starting to get worried that I had missed the window to terminate with a non-invasive method. I REALLY did not want to go into a clinic and have my insides vacuumed out. I found an inspiring medical abstract that encouraged me to place another order, this time for Misoprostol only – 20 x 200mg pills. Here’s the text below:

Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
To compare 2 different methods-multiple doses of misoprostol and a combination of misoprostol and oxytocin-for termination of pregnancy in the second trimester.
METHODS:
Between 2006 and 2008, 120 women undergoing termination of second-trimester pregnancy in 2 hospitals in Kermanshah, Iran, were enrolled in a randomized trial comparing 2 treatments. In each treatment group, an initial vaginal dose of 600 μg of misoprostol was placed in the posterior fornix. After 6 hours, an intravenous infusion of concentrated oxytocin was given to women in group A, and 400 μg of vaginal misoprostol was given every 6 hours to women group B, up to a maximum of 4 doses. The outcomes were compared via χ(2) and independent t tests.
RESULTS:
Within 30 hours, 96.7% of women in group A and 96.7% of women in group B delivered successfully. The average duration between induction and delivery time was 12.3±6.0 hours in group A and 12.1±6.0 hours in group B (P>0.05).
CONCLUSION:
The use of misoprostol with oxytocin, and multiple doses of misoprostol gave similar results for termination of pregnancy in the second trimester.

Week 13
So this time it only took 2 weeks to arrive. From what I read from the forums on offshore pharmacies, is a little more normal than one month. By this time I was starting to gain a little weight and my breasts were getting bigger. This is no fun – I urge you not to wait so long if you’re going to terminate, seriously.
Photo of what I received – labeled, dated blister packs. Regardless of where you order from, I think if it’s not sealed, accurately labeled and stamped with an expiration date, I probably wouldn’t trust it.
The night they arrived I decided I would take 2 pills (200mg each) vaginally before going to bed, instead of 4, as I had done under the supervision of medical professionals previously. Why? I was afraid of the pain and vomiting and diarrhea I had experienced when doing things the proper, clinic-approved way, with Mifeprex followed by 4x 200mg pills of Misoprostol; I thought this unpleasantry could be avoided with a lower dosage. It took about 3 hours before I felt pressure in my lower back, like a heavy period. I began to bleed. The next morning I awoke, was still bleeding, but hadn’t seen any evidence of a fetus or placenta, so I knew I was still pregnant. The bleeding continued, but subsided somewhat throughout the day. So the next night, I decided to do the same, with 3 pills inserted vaginally instead of 2. Again, similar results – after about 3 hours I had some lower back pressure, like a period, also accompanied by some minor chills but nothing crazy. I followed it up with 2 more pills, I’m not sure how many hours later, but I’m assuming around 4 since the chills had subsided and I was presumably past the ‘peak’ amount of medicine in my system. The following day I continued to bleed some, but again, the products of conception were not expelled. So the third night, I decided to do 4 pills. I felt some back pressure, bleeding, and at one point a few chills but nothing too intense. The next morning, I started feeling some very heavy cramping, not unlike labor pains. I breathed heavily and bent forward to ease myself through it. I was in the bathroom standing at the vanity when suddenly my pants became soaked in a clear fluid. My water had broken. I got onto the toilet, and a moment later everything came out – blood, lining, placenta, and a fetus about 4-5 cm long. I fished it out of the toilet to examine it and put it in a glass container. Later on I wrapped it in a flower bloom, said I was sorry, and buried it at the base of one of my plants. This is another reason I recommend not waiting so long to terminate — a well-developed fetus is not really something you want to look at, unless you are super relaxed and emotionally settled about this sort of stuff. Very early on, it’s a tiny blob, but it gets to look more and more like a little person the longer you wait. Nothing in the world could have outweighed my RELIEF that I was not going to have another baby, but all the same, it’s kind of icky, even if you’re a freak like me and totally fascinated by that shit.
Conclusions and recommendations
This experience taught me a few really important things, which I will pass on here. I’d also like to point out that I have no medical certification of any kind, and according to most rational people, have absolutely no business giving out medical advice. Now that that’s out of the way:
1. There DO exist offshore, illegal pharmacies, selling legitimate drugs. How you decide to trust one, well, that’s tricky. I threw caution to the wind and just decided to trust that it would arrive, that I wouldn’t be overcharged or have my identity stolen, that it was the correct drug within it’s expiration date, and that everything would be OK. Is this how all of them operate? I doubt it. All I can recommend is this one particular website I used – privatedrugstore, providing it is owned and operated by the same people that are doing it as I write this. I’ve included a screenshot of the site I bought from below for reference, in case it closes or the domain name gets bought by someone else.
2. Expect 2-3 weeks for shipping, and longer if extreme weather conditions or other disasters delay the post office.
3. Mifeprex is not necessary at all. In fact, FUCK Mifeprex. Without the Mifeprex, you can rest assured the process will be pretty mild. Mifeprex alone is responsible for a bit of queasiness. Mifeprex & Misoprostol in the body together equals a couple of miserable hours doubled over in pain, vomiting up bile, and chills up and down your whole body even with 5 blankets on top of you. With Misoprostol alone, it’s like a heavy period; the most intense part will be the cramps a few hours or a day after you take the pills, when your cervix starts to open up to let the products of conception pass. This is the not fun part, so be sure not to be at work or school when it happens – do this stuff on a weekend. And if you’re trying to hide this from your parents or whomever, make sure you can get the bathroom to yourself.
*EDIT* July 2019 Ok so I wrote the above based on MY experience, but that’s not necessarily going to be YOUR experience. The efficacy rate for Misoprostol alone is 85%. The efficacy rate for the MTP kit is 95%. There is research on successful termination with Mifeprex alone, albeit limited, but it would appear that blocking progesterone alone for a few days can be a much gentler experience than inducing contractions. Side effects will vary. I think a prudent approach when ordering offshore is to order 1 Mifeprex and a dozen Misoprostol. Try out the Misoprostol alone, and you have a high chance of success. If it doesn’t work, then have another go, starting with the Mifeprex followed by the Misoprostol.
4. If you can afford it, order a little more than you think is necessary. Ordering just the Mifeprex and no Misoprostol, in retrospect, was a dumbass thing for me to do. And even with the Misoprostol, maybe because I was goofing around with dosage, or maybe because I was over 12 weeks along, I ended up using 11 pills in total. 4 x 200mg pills following a progesterone-blocker is generally recommended for up to 9 weeks LMP. So there’s a few factors to consider – it’s very hard to say in this case that it was specifically the 4 pills on the last night that resulted in success, OR if it was the multiple attempts across 3 nights that did it. When using herbs (for anything – a cold, a bacterial infection, whatever), slow and steady usually wins the race, e.g., you don’t generally take one dose and BAM, expect results, that’s a more recent phenomenon of modern medicine & technology. In any case, it’s comforting to know there’s extra if your first attempt doesn’t work. I also still have 9 pills in my drawer, for a rainy day.5. Dosage… If I was to do it all over again, here’s how I would approach the important issue of DOSAGE: 4x 200mg pills vaginally of Misoprostol, each night upon going to bed, until the products of conception are expelled. This is mainly for convenience — if you lead a busy life, night time is probably the only opportunity you have to be prostrate for several hours. I’ve also received the recommendation to do it early in the morning – set your alarm for 5:00 am, insert the pills, and things will get going by the time it’s just getting light out — which can be a much less scary time than the night to try something out when you don’t know precisely what the outcome will be.
*EDIT* July 2019 Since corresponding with so many women about their experiences, I’m changing my stance on this. These medicines affect every woman differently, and there IS NO one-size-fits-all approach. You might be successful with the MTP kit, with Misoprostol alone (2-12 200mg pills), or with Mifeprex alone (400-600mcg in 2-4 doses over a couple days). Or you might not — you might have to tinker a bit and take some of this and then some of that over the course of a few days. Hell, you can terminate successfully in one way, and do the same thing a year later, and the stuff DOESN’T feel/work the same! When I originally wrote this, I still believed it was preferable to terminate a pregnancy under the supervision of a healthcare professional, but not anymore. I believe each woman has to have the freedom to play around with the pills, listen to her body, and make adjustments accordingly, and this is the path to a 100% efficacy for medical abortion. Doctors are severely limited in what they prescribe. BTW, would you say the healthcare industry, including the doctors and researchers publishing papers, is a female-dominated industry? Nope. Buncha old sexist white dudes driving that wagon. So why are we asking them to tell us how our bodies work or for permission to figure it out? Blow me.
6. Open a new email accountto make your order, because once they have your email address, prepare to get SPAMMED with offers from other online pharmacies.
7. Schedule an appointment with an ob-gyn for a pelvic exam, after you believe all the products of conception have passed, to ensure the process has completed. If you experience heavy cramping after you believe everything has passed, you might have a uterine infection, and you should go to urgent care to be prescribed some antibiotics. Lie and say you had a miscarriage. Once you’ve been bleeding for a few days there won’t be any evidence of the stuff in your vagina or your system.
A few words on the whole damn subject
It seems to me that the FDA is making what COULD be an easy, private, inexpensive process, a royal pain in the neck. Why? Maybe to cover their butts from getting sued, in case you aren’t administered enough, and you have to go in for a surgical abortion if it doesn’t work. Either that, or its some Republican conspiracy to make pregnancy termination so incredibly unpleasant that you’re more likely to go through with the pregnancy, because god only knows, what this planet needs is more PEOPLE. I HAVE read that more than one key person has resigned from the FDA over the decision to stall Mifeprex’s over-the-counter availability – because they felt it was for political reasons and NOT grounded in health facts.
I think a common question this raises in most of our minds is “well, SHOULD it be so easy?” For many, the idea of a new life hangs in the balance, and some inner voice suggests it’s immoral for women to repeatedly seek abortions. To a woman that does not want a baby, I think the point of sperm meeting egg, or the point of a zygote implanting in the uterine wall holds little significance. I think many take desperate measures, when simple ones are not available. If there is zero detriment to the health of the woman in question, if it is inexpensive and doesn’t take her out of work — well… is it such a bad thing? I’ve read about Sylphium in ancient Cyrene, that physicians recommended it once a month for “preventing anything from forming, and eliminating anything that might be there.” Granted, ancient times were considerably more brutal than modern civilized ones, but in this one aspect – the lack of public scrutiny and controversy of women’s handling of their fertility, I cannot come up with a logical argument against it.
I know one day I may have to answer these questions for my daughter. And I know that it’s possible that one day, when she is a teenager, she’ll come home to tell me she’s pregnant and not ready to take the step of being a parent. If that happens, I want to be able to offer her an easy, simple, shameless and inexpensive solution. On the other hand, I don’t want to encourage her to go out having lots of unprotected sex, or to ignore holistic preventative birth control and the workings of her cycle because it’s just so easy to pop a pill. I want her to treat her body and temple with care and deliberation, and never to be at war with it, or at the mercy of it’s hormones or maladies, or to believe that it’s something to be controlled only with the help of big pharma.
Another important point of consideration, is the zero benefit + great detriment of unplanned pregnancies on the whole. I have seen instances in my own social circles, where slower child development *appeared* to correlate with mom not knowing that she was pregnant for the first few months. Like every mom, I watch my child’s development with care and concern. Even knowing from the moment her daddy and I decided to try and make a baby, even with taking all the precautions and supplements from the moment i thought she might be in my tummy, and pouring over countless books and forums about what I could do to help her growing little body and brain, I still worry. I still fret over details. I am relieved when I read that she’s on schedule with crawling, babbling, each new tooth that comes in and each new facial expression she gives me. Maybe it’s silly, but everyone with a kid knows what I’m talking about. It’s hard not to judge yourself, when you judge the progress of your little one.
This is not to say slower development is mom’s *fault*. It is the world we live in. Perhaps there was a time when not knowing one was pregnant for the first month or two had little impact on the health of the child eventually born. But these days, what with mass-produced food so lacking in nutritional value that one NEEDS supplements throughout pregnancy, what with lifestyles abounding with fast-food, alcohol and radiation, what with statistical evidence that fasting/dieting during the first critical months creates spikes in birth defects 9 months later, my opinion is that each pregnancy SHOULD be planned and nurtured. This doesn’t even touch on the implications of a social structure that leaves individuals with little to nothing in the way of social protections if they aren’t blessed with the luck of the marketplace. A woman knows when it’s a good time to have a baby, and when it’s not. And this is of greatest consequence to the ultimate health and happiness of our society, and planet.
buy a prepaid visa card from local supermarket, safer that way RE fraud n stuff anyways?
I’m thankfully getting on with life, just been for a weeks holiday and fine no probs, my body is back to normal and i’ve started my self on a contaceptive pill.
I never saw any fetus or anything of such but maybe at around 6 weeks ur not gonna so much as too small, though I wasnt really interested in looking either, only ever noticed lots of blood clots….euuuck! thats bad enough, weird how mine went on like a week with HEAVY painful bleeding when most people say thats over in few hours, but I do normally have heavy painful periods so who knows…?
main thing is I am not pregnant anymore and luckily had no complications. I couldnt have afforded 500 pills frm private clinic and didnt wanna go thru the invasive suction process the UK national health service seem to give regardless of how far along. SO GLAD found this option. THANK YOU macrobiotic stoner x
Update: Just received my order today, which came from Singapore. (Ordered June 5th from US from the website listed on the above blog). I received a plain white bubble wrap lined envelope with only my name/address on it and the customs tag. Inside there were 5 blister packs each containing 4 pills for a total of 20 pills, clearly marked Cipla Misoprost – 200, manufactured in Feb 2013 and expire July 2014. I won’t be using them until next week because 1) we have a bunch of out of town guests staying with us this weekend and 2) This is the week I’m supposed to get my period so I’m waiting to make sure it doesn’t come. Even though my last period was missed and I felt symptoms of being pregnant for the entire week after, I’ve since taken 2 early detection pregnancy tests at different times and both came up negative with absolutely no trace of a mark. So I’m not sure what’s going on with my body, (when pregnant in the past my tests always show I’m pregnant) and thought I’d let it go to see if I get my period first. If I do not, next week I may be 9 weeks…I will try the pills to see what happens. I will post either way what I do and what the outcome in. Just wanted to let people know that I did successfully order from the site and took me 14 days from order to arrival. They are pretty slow about responding to e-mails as the above person said, and they misspell things (which kind of scared me) but I did get the medications and to my knowledge they look legit.
I’m very sorry for the issue ganjafairy86 had. That’s horrible to have to deal with. Big hugs to you and I hope that you find another alternative. I also want to thank the person who wrote this article to begin with. It takes courage to post a personal story about such a touchy subject. It’s not a position any woman wants to find herself in, and it can be an extremely emotional thing. I just wish it were easier for women to go through this privately without judgement. It’s hard enough to go through without feeling emotionally and physically exposed to the world. I hope the poster of this blog realizes what a huge help this is for so many finding themselves in a hard situation. Good luck to everyone and know that there are other options out there. Again….I will post my outcome no matter what happens because I know experiences will help others make a decision with their personal circumstances. If nothing else, at least I verified this is a legitimate source for the medications needed.
Last update: I have been giving the details of the process of ordering the meds from the website listed. I was planning on using them this past Monday, but a few days after they came in the mail I believe my body decided to abort naturally before I needed to take the medication. I’m thankful I didn’t have to take the meds, but I’m also thankful that I have them in case I need them in the future. I’m also very thankful for this post that shows women there is another alternative. Good luck to all and thanks again for sharing the website and information.
I tried ordering but I noticed it says that a valid prescription is necessary. Did any of you guys actually have a prescription?
Hi ladies very happy to have found thus website. ..Mrs. Macro thank you…I ordered on the 1st of July & on the 4th of July I received an email that my package is on its way, but no tracking number or shipping Co.

Please help, it says misoprostol is not available. I am doing something wrong? Please help asao
@tara42, They’ve probably run out of the medicine.I get the same message. But does anybody out there know of another site like this one where I can get the same products? Could you possibly list names. I’m becoming so desperate.
Tara, I think that they have ran out.I get the same message. Does anybody know of another site that has the same medicines? Could you possibly list some? It would be greatly appreciated.I’m becoming so desperate.
I’m getting an error on the entire site… but they did have the $45 combo available still…with a $15 shipping fee for a total of $60. I was also holding out for the 20 pills only but, obviously, time isn’t a luxury I have, either. 🙁
I just wanted to say thank you for writing this blog. I am currently 12 weeks pregnant and have had just been though a horrible experience with lack of insurance and a local abortion clinic. So, I am taking things into my own hands and I have just placed an order online.
I was unfortunately unable to use the site you suggested because they were 1. out of misoprostol and 2. they don’t have express shipping. Instead I used a site called http://www.generics4u.com (janky, I know). I ordered on 7/13. It was $101 for 30 100mg misoprostol tablets with express shipping (5 to 9 business days). I am happy to report I have a valid USPS express mail tracking number and the package was sent yesterday (7/15) from Delhi, India.
The site only took Visa or echecks, so that should be noted. Also, I had gotten a prepaid Visa as not to be robbed but the prepaid Visas do NOT work for international transactions, unfortunately. So, I used my Visa debit and said a small prayer for my identity not to be stolen. You should all note that the prepaid Visas are crap and “for domestic use only”.
I am not sure if I am more excited to get this whole thing over with or not to have been a fraud victim due to said janky website (yet. Knock on wood.). Now, the waiting game.
I will update again when I have the package in hand to let you ladies know if the site I used is a viable alternative to the one provided in this blog. Fingers crossed. Stay strong all.
Oh! I should also note that it initially said that they could not accept my card, but I let the order, with my card, sit overnight and it went through.
My order came but without the MTP kit & now today I can’t locate the website. Is anyone else having the same problem?
@PghSteelers when did you place your order? and what did you order? I ordered the kit and got an email saying the delivery company has it and it takes up to 7-10 business days but today the site is gone….Hopefully my order is on the way
also the customer service email is not valid anymore….
It seems the entire site is GONE now?? What the heck?? Has anyone found a site where you can only buy 20 pills or less? I don’t want this huge supply!
Quick update: My package cleared customs (YAY) and is being delivered on Monday. I will post again when I have it in hand and have determined it is not some random placebo.
Update: Received the Misoprostol today. It came in a nondescript manilla envelope which was lined with bubble wrap and contained 8 little foil bubble packs with the medication information printed on them with 4 pills each (32 in all, though I only paid for 30).
I feel like at this point I can say the site I used is legit and a good option for those who need it. Again, it was http://www.generics4u.com
Finally, I have to work all week so won’t be using the pills until Friday – which I am stressing about, but much less than I was stressing when I didn’t know if I would get them. I am absolutely dying to get it all over with.
I will give one final update after all is said and done. (Hopefully someone is finding all of this useful!)
aye ladies I’m back i had to go in tge hospital for kidney failurebut dig this ! I got a hcg blood test I’m 5-6 wks but lmp I’m like 10 weeks! phew blessings come in disguise I see the private drugstore is on the fritz I used a site called secure tablets I placed my order July 4 it’s shipped July 8 and they arrived in atlanta July 22 !(where I reside )momma stoner amongst other women have been extremely supportive of me. I thought now that I’m “straight ” I’d reach back and help. I will say the pills are 65 and I paid and extra 30 for track able shipping which does seem to move quicker so all in all 98.00 for 32 is a damn good deal for them to be delivered in 2-3 weeks they only ship business days hence the wait! but it’s well worth it any comments questions etc feel free to email ganjafairy86 @ gmail
Hi, I have submitted a few comments and they are not showing up, is there a problem? I see my first one that I put in a few days ago, but I cant see my more recent ones? I have some information I would love to share with everyone about a site I found and it seems legit, and I got everything for $47… I was going to use a different one, but they would not process my visa card and I decided to keep searching and I am so glad I did.
@serina: I see your comments…I would love the information where you bought your pills could you please email me @ nujixi@gmail.com
Oh my gosh…I just wrote out the longest story and submitted it and it did not show up…holy crap it took an hour….
Ok..very frustrating. I have tried commenting numerous times. only the one and 2 sentence comments will show up. I went back and was able to copy and paste my LONG LONG story and it wouldn’t let me submit twice. UGHHHH….
nutshell….TexasTay, go to drugsdropship.com and you can get the MTP kit for $17 plus $25 shipping for $42 total. legit site so far, seems great.
will update later, I am so aggravated at my wasted time typing all this out and none of it posted.
Hi Serina,
I’m sorry to hear that happened, I checked the comment log and I don’t see anything awaiting publishing, but it’s possible that there is a limitation to comment length in WordPress that prevented the submit from going through. I’m looking into it to see if I can fix… in the meantime, if you have time to rewrite it, please do and if you want to email it I will post it — sharing and learning from each others’ stories is awesome and empowering and I don’t want a bit of technology to get in the way:)
Thank you
Thanks MS…I was able to go “back” and get my long story (lol) copied and pasted into a document…I am going to email to you and TexasTay both… I’m sorry for getting frustrated, after reading the ordeal, you’ll see why, THEN after writing it all out, it wouldn’t post…arggghhh! I know it’s not your fault!!
emailing now…
DEFINITELY thinking there is a word limit…some of my comments show up immediately…hmm..
MacrobioticStoner, could you please post your email addy?? cant find it!
just added it to the sidebar on the right
Ok, I started off trying to buy from the site that the author of this blog used. Well the first day or 2 I tried, the site was there but they were out of misoprostol. They did however, have the MTP kit available for 45 plus 15 shipping. I wanted to hold out a few days and see if the misoprostol became available again, so I waited…and then the site went down. Now there is no trace whatsoever. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise?? I don’t know… So I went searching. I found several different sites to buy just the misoprostol, and they ranged from about $64-$102, depending on shipping speed. SO out of all those, the one that seemed very, VERY legit also happened to be the cheapest. It was saferxtab.com They offer 32 200 mg misoprostol tabs for $64.67. If you want trackable, faster shipping, it is $20 more. They have a live chat, which I utilized several times, there was always someone there waiting, AND it was not canned responses. There was an actual person. That made me feel better. So I was ready to go, and go to the checkout to place my order, and saw that they only take visa. Well, my debit card is a mastercard. They also did not do bank transfers. I then remembered I have an old account with a few dollars in it that has a visa debit card. So, I had to go to the bank and deposit that amount of money to cover it. The next day, after funds were available, I submit my order, and it said the order did not go through, to contact my bank. So I tried again, just in case…didn’t go through. I called my bank, made sure my funds were available, and they were. So I called customer service (they had a 1800 number) and was pleasantly pleased that they answered. The lady said she could see where I had tried to order and it was cancelled. She said I needed to ask my bank to allow international transactions. Ok, well, I called my bank again. The lady said, "we have thousands of international transactions daily, there is no problem with using your debit card for an international transaction". She checked funds again, said there should be no problem at all. Soooo I tried to place the order again. I received a order number and it said my order was completed!! I was so relieved…this was yesterday. SO today, I check my bank to see if funds had been taken out. Funds were still there. I checked my email, nothing…no confirmation email…nothing. So I called customer service again, order # in hand. The lady said my order had been cancelled. Said the card was declined. I told her, ma’am, I have talked to my bank numerous times..the funds are there, they are fine for international transactions, there should be NO problems with my visa. She offered no solution, just kept saying to try again in 24 hours. I went ahead and tried again, as it was almost 24 hours from the time I had placed my order yesterday, and it said my card was declined twice.
SO that brings me to a few hours ago. I felt sick, because the next cheapest site was going to be $78, and I only had just under $70 to work with in the bank (believe me, it has been a struggle just to scrape this together!!!) Plus, my bank is 30 minutes away, and even if I did come up with the little bit extra to put in there (which I would have done somehow), its past the banking day, money wouldn’t go in til tomorrow, so probably wouldn’t have been available til possibly Saturday… I was so frustrated.
I decided to try something different. Even though I had decided to go with the straight misoprostol, because there are so many available and you can keep taking more if needed…I decided to go ahead and search and see if there were just the kits available. I did have one previous medical procedure and used the kit, administered from a clinic, and the final 4 pills at home. However I had to drive 3 hours to a clinic to get the first pill, come home and do the rest, and go back in a week, and it cost me 2 tanks of gas PLUS had to pay $275 to the clinic and that was WITH financial aid from the NAF hotline. I do NOT have that kind of funds now… so I searched for the kit. I was amazed at the number of legit looking places that came up, and the prices seem so much cheaper…
This is what I went with… The website drugsdropship.com They have a MTP kit available for $17.00. Yes, seventeen dollars. Now shipping is $25… BUT it is trackable. Its a flat rate. My total was $42 with shipping and all. Because this method was successful for me the first time, I am crossing my fingers that it wont be a problem again. I know the very date of conception, as I literally have only had sex one time since my last period, and going by that date, I will be 4 weeks Saturday. So I have a little bit of time, and its relatively early. There SHOULDN"T be any problems. So..I placed my order. They do not take visa or credit cards. They only take bank transfers…yes, I was scared to do this, BUT.. I only put a little under $70 in the account, I don’t use it, so i’m thinking even if they DID scam me…they cant take any more than whats there…and my bank has great protection programs, but Im not too worried. IMMEDIATELY after placing my order, I received a confirmation email, and I am able to log into my "account" on the site and see my order there, in processing. It said that it would be a couple business days for the funds to clear, which is understandable. I have searched online for reviews, and have found positive things about this place.
I will come back and update everyone on the progress…I’m sorry this was so long…but I was so desperate to find something affordable, and I have been scouring websites for days trying to find a site!! If this helps someone else too, then it will be worth it!
Hi Serena, thanks for all the useful information. I’m curious to know if you ordered anything like vicodine or percocet with your MTP kit? I only ask because I found this method (Mifepristone + Misoprostol) extremely painful, similar to birth contractions – was this your previous experience? Skipping the Mifeprex made a world of difference (for me). With the combination method I would try to have some prescription strength painkillers on-hand to take at the same time that you insert the Misoprostol, because the nausea makes it hard to keep things down once the contractions start.
No, I didn’t order any extra, but only because I have some here. I have some Vicodin, Lortab, and Hydrocodone that are left over from previous things in the past year. I also have some 800 mg ibuprofen, as well. They did give me a few of each of those last time, too. (well, not EACH, it was a few painkillers and a few ibuprofen). They also gave me an antibiotic. Hoping that’s not needed. I honestly did not have any problems last time with awful pain, or even nausea. As a matter of fact…it was one of those “too good to be true” feelings…I was worried that it didn’t work. I was 9 weeks last time…I took the Mifepristone at the clinic (3 hr drive away), drove home and had to wait 48 hours. I felt a little sickness, but honestly nothing worse than the fear and stress I had felt leading up to it… I had read hundreds of peoples stories online and was prepared for the absolute WORST, so I had over prepared myself, I think. I had painkillers in my system before hand, and I was a WRECK when I took the other 4 pills. My instructions were to let them dissolve in my cheeks. I took my painkillers RELIGIOUSLY every 4 hours, and slept in between. Very mild cramping, I did bleed like a heavy period, but honestly nothing like what I was expecting. As a matter of fact…I was in total fear that it didn’t work. I never felt a pain heavier than a menstrual cramp. As bad as I didn’t want to make the trip back to the clinic 3 hours away the next week (which was required by them), I was almost looking forward to it because I truly believed there was no way it could have worked. Well, lo and behold, when they did the exam and ultrasound, everything was gone…I was really in shock. I couldn’t believe how simple and nearly painless it was. Now I KNOW that my experience was not normal, so I’m ready for the worst again this time. I’m almost afraid to NOT take the Mifepristone just because everything went SO good last time…I will definitely come back and share my story..
By the way, an update on my order from drusdropship.com … so far, still looking good, minus a small hitch.. I got a confirmation email today that my e-check transaction was being processed but I needed to call in and verify it for it to go through. A company called check2pay. So I called in, waited for an HOUR to get through to someone to “verify” the transaction. Well they did have my record, however the merchant has mixed up my routing and account number and is going to have to resubmit it. UGH… so now I’m trying to get ahold of customer service to correct that.
Reporting back on my experience.
On Friday, I decided to work for half the day and take the first dose of misoprostol as I was leaving the office. I had allotted a very strict timeline for this, so planned everything as best I could.
1pm: I inserted 400mcg of misoprostol (which I wet first with a few drops of water) into the back of my vagina in the office bathroom. Awkward. After that I beelined it for the subway home. I got home around 2pm and nothing in the way of symptoms.
3:30pm: I inserted 400mcg more (moistened with a few drops of water), also vaginally. Not to be too graphic but as I was doing this, I could feel small bits of the first set inside me. I was having very, very slight cramping to the point where I wasn’t sure if it was psychosomatic or not.
By 4pm I had the worst chills I have had in a very long time. I didn’t feel cold, but I could not stop shaking and I put the heat on 85 and climbed into bed. That subsided about 4:45pm.
5pm: Pretty bad cramps were coming in waves but still no bleeding. Also took 400mg of Advil.
7pm: 400mcg vaginally. Again. Why am I not bleeding yet??? Still cramping in waves, like contractions. They were getting closer together. I felt like if the bleeding started it would relieve the abdominal pressure I was feeling which was becoming quite uncomfortable.
7:30pm: Ouch. A lot of ouch. And mild diarrhea.
11pm: 400mcg, vaginally. Still cramping, not as badly, but no bleeding. I slept until about 12:30am but worried this was not going to work. Additionally, it didn’t seem like the tablets are dissolving as much as they should.
I slept from 2am until 9am with no notable cramps. When I got out of bed around 10am I had resigned myself to the fact that it just wasn’t working and was, perhaps, fake.
When I got up to pee in the morning, There was a small grey-ish blood clot in the toilet, about the size of a half dollar. It was my mucous plug. I looked this up on the internet as I was not having any cramping and it said that you can lose your mucous plug but it can regenerate. I figured that was what happened. I was starting to freak out that it wasn’t going to work, and I am 16 weeks now so not a lot of time left to play with (none really).
11am I decided to go get coffee about 6 blocks from my house, I walked. Oh boy… this was all the push I needed. Contractions started STRONG. I ended up having to take a taxi home, and when we pulled up to the house I had to sprint into the bathroom. I felt the need to push once on the toilet so I did. My water broke with the ferocity of a tsunami. Next push and the sack came out (not too painful) followed by a torrent of blood and the placenta. That was at about 11:45am.
All and all, 22 hours from the time I first took the misoprostol until I expelled the pregnancy.
My advice: This stuff is unpredictable. My precise planning was useless. I thought it would all be said and done in 12 hours so allot yourself sometime. Also, be active as this seemed to be ridiculously effective, I wish I had done this earlier.
It is now 1pm and I am bleeding quite a bit (soaking a pad every hour) and leaking like a faucet when I sit on the toilet, but otherwise feeling fine, no cramps. Most of all relieved. SO RELIEVED.
Thank you Sara, for sharing…even though I have done this once, I feel like my experience was a fluke and will never be that easy again. I’m up all through the night obsessively checking my account to see if my MTP kit has shipped. Still says processing, which is to be expected, since my echeck was just processed on Saturday, and they said the funds wouldn’t come out til tomorrow. So Im hoping it ships this week…just so ready for this to be over. Now I’m worried sick about what it’s going to be like this time…how painful, etc. It’s so much easier reading everyone elses stories…
Sara , I Ordered From The Generics4U Website And I Got An Email Tellin Me It Didnt Go Through They Suggested ICall My Bank An See If They Do Over Seas Transactions So I Went And CheckedThe Status Of My Package And It Said Proccessing . It Had A Legend On The Side That Said Processing Declined And Duplicate . Should IJust Let It Sit Overnight Like You Did ? You Can Email Me @ Short.Shrimp14@gmail.com && For Anyone Whos Guedsing Im Not 14 . This Is My Last Year In School I Graduate (2014)
I received my MTP kit from Privatedrugstore.eu. I placed my ordered 7/8 it was sent out for delivery on 7/12, and was told it would arrive 7-10 business days. I was worried about not receiving it since the website went down but it was hand delivered 7/27. I took the mifepristone tablet at 11:15pm and went to bed. The next day I was nauseous and threw up something foamy…I took a hydro.aceph 800mg pill at 12:50pm to prepare myself for pain…..I dozed off woke up and I inserted the 4 misoprostol pills at 2pm….and went to sleep again…nothing was happening so I figured it failed…At 5:30 I woke up with cramps and and urge to use the restroom. I checked my pad and I was spotting as soon as I started to pee I felt a glob followed by a bigger glob. I got up and there was my sac and the baby it was small but full features (10weeks). I passed a few more clots about quarter size over the next 30 minutes along with bleeding like a heavy menstrual cycle. This happened yesterday and now I am spotting and minimal cramping like my normal cycle is. Thanks so much MS for this blog and all contributors. The process wasnt painful as I thought and the bleeding isnt anywhere near what I thought it would be. Thanks again
Angelica, I let it sit and it went through. I did call my bank to confirm I could use my card internationally and mine said processing for over 24 hours. I would suggest waiting and possibly contacting the customer service if you have questions. Anytime I emailed them they got right back to me.
If you have any questions for me I will continue to check this blog regularly and I am happy to help any way I can. Going through all this sucks and I found this to be a safe forum which has really been a great resource throughout so I am happy to support it.
Serina, I have been through it before as well but that does not make the experience less scary the second time around. Especially with the added stress of international ordering.
I wish the government would get their shit together here in the US and have faith that women can handle their business as they see fit, and seek medical intervention only if it is needed.
I can say for myself, I was prepared to go directly to the hospital if I felt something was wrong. I’m not going to endanger my life, but I am
also not going to royally fuck it up by trying to raise a baby I am not ready for. It would be unfair to both of us.
Thank you Miss Macro for having this space for those who need it. I am truly grateful.
Sara , Im definetly gonna call me bank in the morning && speak with customer service as soon as possible . gosh i feel like im running out of time . pheew this is stressful . thank you for the help . ill let you guys know of any updates !

Okay So Being That Its Been 3 Days && The Generics4U Site Still Hasnt Charged My Card Or Replied To My Message IDecided To Go To The Website Posted At The Top . ( Since Theyre Up && Running Again ) I Placed My Order Checked My Email && Had A Confirmation Email . So . Eager I Checked My Bank Acvount && All The Funds Are Still There . How Long Was It Before They Charged You Guys ? If This Is Normal Then Good . Lol But I Did Go Back To The Page Real Quick And It Said Due to technical reason we unable to accept new orders now. Please return to us some later.( exactly like that) But I Got A Comfirmation Email ? Im So Confuseeeed .
Due to there no longer being any misoprostol available, I ordered an mtp kit the night the site went down.(july 15) I saw that the site completely disappeared &I figured that I wouldn’t receive the kitand had just wasted 60$. To my surprise,I received it today (30th)! I just took the mifepristone & am waiting to take the misoprostol. Good luck to all of you!
@Angelica: it took them 2 days to charge my card and another day to process the order because I had to send in a verification since I wasn’t using my billing address listed for my card. Ordered 7/8 money took from card 7/10 order processed 7/11 and order shipped out 7/12. I received order 7/27.
@ TexasTay Omg You Restored My Hope !!! Thank You
i dont think the misoprostol worked three oral doses in the 3 hr time intervals with no bleeding and no real cramps im terrified im 10-11 weeks i want and need this to work did this happen with anyone else? i cant have a kid i dont have any and im too-young
Alta, did you leave it in your mouth for 30 mins or just swallow it? You have to hold it in your cheek or under your tongue for 30 mins before you swallow it or nothing will happen. Either that or inset it vaginally, as far back as you can.
so can i start the process over the last set partially dissolved or do i have to wait 24 hrs someone help me with this mess ive gotten myself into
Hi Alta,
Take a deep breath – it WILL be ok. Are you following the dosage instructions listed here? http://www.iwhc.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3747&Itemid=614
The recommendation for pregnancies under 12 weeks is 4 pills vaginally in 3-12 hour intervals. My approach that I wrote about differed somewhat, mostly due to a busy schedule, which meant my doses were spaced 24 hours apart. If you have some cramping that is a good sign! It may just be a matter of adjusting dosage and interval.
SOMEONE. Okay, just to be sure…if I get the mtp kit, I will have everything I need to do the abortion? Also, will it be safe to buy using my debit card if I just put the right amount of money on it? Also, treatment method? Thank you in advance.
Also, is the mifeprostone needed? Or can the job be done using JUST the misoprostol?
