By the end of August 2026, over a period of 5 months, approximately 1,900 women* had contacted us. Around 1,700 were given a prescription for the abortion pill. All women receive an email from us after 5 weeks asking them to provide feedback if they wish to do so.
(* by women we mean all people with a uterus)
When asked “How satisfied were you with the help from Thuisabortus.nl?”, we received a 4.8 out of 5!
When asked, “Would you recommend Thuisabortus.nl to other women?”, 98% said yes!
Some reactions from women:
“I am incredibly happy that it is possible for women like me to be able to do it this way.”
“Excellent information, quick response, nice that you don't have to attend an appointment, and also clear who to contact if there's a problem.”
“I wanted to let you know how incredibly grateful I am for your help. It wasn't easy going through this, but your kindness and support have truly made a huge difference to me.”
“Thank you for being there for me and for sending my prescription to the pharmacy so quickly. Your team has made a stressful process much easier and more bearable. Thank you for all that you do.”
“Quick responses to questions, great that it can all be done anonymously and especially that it could be arranged very quickly!”
