Oh wouldnât this be tragic if word of this spread out everywhere possible?
Oh noâŚmy hand slippedâŚ
Remember if you live somewhere where this is an option you need, you need to be keeping a healthy stock of pregnancy tests and using them regularly to catch the pregnancy early enough. It is incredibly common for people to only find out well past 10 weeks. Of course that can be expensive so look for the paper strip type that doctors use, not the bulky plastic types typically advertised for home use if you can. And dont fall for marketing gimmicks with pregnancy tests, they all work about the same, you donât need a digital screen and if in doubt do another test tomorrow.
(Also do your test first thing when you wake up for best results)
I would HATE for anyone in Texas to ACCIDENTALLY read thisâŚ
The dollar store carries pregnancy tests and theyâre just as accurate as the ones from the pharmacy, fyi
Having worked in a doctorâs office, can confirm we just used cheap plastic OTC pregnancy tests and the dollar tree has them sometimes for $1.
As a further reminderâ (loosely) once the sperm hits the egg and you become âofficially pregnantâ, pregnancy is calculated by going back to the date of your LAST period.
So if the date of your conception is March 29, but you got off your period March 01, congrats! Youâre now 1 month/4 weeks pregnant. Thatâs how pregnancy is calculated.
And you absolutely cannot find out the day you conceived that youâre pregnant, because it takes at least 2 weeks before your body makes enough HCG to be perceived by a pregnancy testâ so thatâs another two weeks.
Which means you could have sex, become pregnant, wait the two weeks to test, and be âsix weeksâ pregnant. Thatâs rightâ if you do everything right, and find out youâre pregnant literally as SOON as possible, you can already be 6 weeks pregnant.
âThe Texas Heartbeat Act prohibits abortion when there is a detectable heartbeat, which may be as early as 6 weeks into a womanâs pregnancy.â This is why this act is genuinely evil. You could be âtwo weeks out from the date you had the sex that got you pregnantâ and be 6 weeks pregnant.
Itâs not likely, but itâs incredibly possible. If you miss a period, it hurts NOTHING to check immediately. Donât wait. Waiting a single month after your missed period to test could mean youâre suddenly 10 weeks pregnantâ or more.
Actually, hang on, I want to talk moreâ
I went to the aidaccess website. For some states, they can mail the medicine to you directly without a prescription. For others, theyâll do an online consult with a doctor to prescribe and then mail you the medicine.
The cost can be from $110-150.
When you first start the consult, you see this.
We want to look at the second option. Because these are shipped internationally, and as sited on the website due to covid delays, the medicine takes three to four weeks to reach you.
If you find out you are pregnant at six weeks, you must order immediately in order to do a pill abortion at home under the ten week window. However, it gives you the option to buy in advance. Both mifepristone and misoprostol tablets usually carry a 2-year shelf life. The price isnât THAT much higher than Plan B.
I researched that on my ownâ the shelf life thingâ but was incredibly pleased to see the aidaccess website got into it as well.

Advance provision 1. If you live in a place with a very restrictive abortion law, it can be helpful to have the medicines for a medical abortion in advance case of a future unwanted pregnancy. Â In this case you should contact us again immediately when you find out that you are pregnant so that we can give you the proper guidance. Please check the expiration date when you received the medicines (most can be kept up to 2 years after receiving the package as long as they are kept at room temperature and in their original and undamaged blister packs. It is likely that they can be kept for even longer but their effectiveness cannot be guaranteed after that point.Â
2.If you want the medicines because you had unprotected sex less than 5 days ago, you can still use emergency contraceptives!]
The aidacess website walks you through EVERY PART OF THIS.
If you have $150 to spare, this is potentially live-saving medication. If your current plan is to drive out of state, stay for three days at a hotel to maybe get an in-person abortion after listening to a heartbeat etc, please consider that cost versus this cost. It has a shelf life of two years. Iâm considering buying some right now.
I am incredibly moved to know this option exists and am currently about to share it with every social media site I can.

Breaking news:
Aidaccess.org, an international organization that canât be sued by anyone in Texas, is now offering Texas women abortion pills even before they become pregnant.
Governor Abbott would hate it if the word got out to all women all across the state.

I understand that using the medicines without a confirmed pregnancy is unnecessary and would still like to continue with my request for help with Aid Access for advanced provision of abortion medication. I will contact Aid Access again if and when I am pregnant to receive the proper information and guidance.
I think I am pregnant at this moment and will start online questionnaire from the beginning.
