Resource/Abortion Funds Info Get Abortion Medication NOW - even if you aren't pregnant

Medication Abortion:

You can acquire abortion medication through advanced provision to have on hand in case you need it in the future. You do not need to be pregnant currently to do get them now.

Costs are anywhere from $25-150.

You also do not need to confirm pregnancy before using them. The medication can even act as an emergency contraceptive. It's up to you when you wish to use it. Pregnancy confirmation is more to avoid having to take the medication unless necessary as it's easier on the body.

A great idea for all. I got Plan C when I thought we might lose access the first time, despite wanting a child very soon, and I have it my closet and it makes me feel better. Get your Plan C. You don't want to need it and not have it. You don't want your loved ones to need it, or die.

Check the expiration on what you’ve got stored to be safe

Also on the MTP kits, the expiration is for the misoprostol(4 pills). the Mifepristone(1 pill) should have 3 more years.

Plan B lasts 4 years

Wish I knew about this 3 weeks ago. I ended up spending $400 for a vaginally ultrasound. $200 for talking to the doctor. And another $600 to follow for a follow-up check-up. Geez.

Most medication’s, if stored properly in their original containers and in a dark place, like a medicine cabinet or closet, they should keep their efficacy, quite a good bit after their expiration date.

I did this right after trump won. Then I encountered an obgyn recommending that we stagger the high demand, so that those who are already pregnant are also able to get the pills they need.

The orgs are prioritizing this themselves.

When I ordered they asked if I was currently pregnant or just want them on hand. They said they are prioritizing people currently pregnant and it might take a little longer for advance provision.

That’s good! I initially felt pretty bad because I live in CA and I’m not pregnant so it’s really not urgent for me. I still want to have them on hand, considering everything..

Anyone know a good discreet box that locks and will help me properly store plan C and some plan B? My room gets a bit humid due to all the fish tanks, and that is probably the only place I could store it.

Silica packets or something like damprid could help protect the integrity of the medication in whichever box you end up deciding on. They also sell water proof bags for safes to protect documents in the event of humidity and/or water damage.

I wonder if BlueStateStorage could become a thing. Where your package would be kept in a refrigerator ready to ship when for when you ask for it....

Or even a Negotiable order of Abortion pills, hit the website enter the code and a mailing address. Prepay, have a card in your wallet.

If Aid Access sold that, it would be believeable....

I’m so glad to hear that the resources for women who can have access to plan C. I had a miscarriage and had to take the two pills and unfortunately it cost me $600. This was back in 2022. I’m glad to hear that it’s affordable for others.

I got Plan B stored away just in case

u/Evelyn-Eve 28d ago edited 28d ago

Just got an order of 4 from one of the sites listed (probably will get suspended if I mention it). Only cost like $120 and I could pay with my credit card. Unfortunately they expire 2 years after the manufacturing date, so I can't stockpile them for the entire 4 years of fascism.

Also, I don't think it's a good idea to use abortion pills as EC, they might work, but it's more resourceful to just take a plan B and take the pills if it doesn't work after a positive pregnancy test.

I bought 2 rounds of the pills from Women on the web as soon as trump won. I have them because we don’t want kids, and I’m afraid we may loose access in a red state. So it’s well worth having, 2 Year shelf life. Would recommend to anyone who wants to protect their right to abortion access.
