Do you regret taking the first drug in the abortion pill series (Mifepristone)? It’s important to know that it’s possible to continue your pregnancy with Abortion Pill Reversal (APR). 

Abortion Pill Reversal is a way to counteract the effects of mifepristone (the first drug in the abortion pill regimen), and it’s an option that can safely help preserve your pregnancy. 

If you’ve taken Mifepristone and regret your decision, there are essential details you need to know about APR—the most important of which is that time is of the essence. APR is most effective if taken within 24 hours of mifepristone. Don’t delay. Contact our office today to learn more, or contact the 24/7 Abortion Pill Reversal hotline at 877-558-0333 to get started. 

 

How Does Abortion Pill Reversal Work?

To understand how APR works, it’s important to know how mifepristone works first.

Mifepristone blocks progesterone in your body. Progesterone is a necessary hormone during pregnancy. Without progesterone, your uterine lining will loosen and shed, and your pregnancy will eventually detach. 

APR works to counteract the effects of mifepristone by flooding your body with progesterone. Since mifepristone doesn’t work immediately, this gives you a small window to stop its effects.

How Often Is Abortion Pill Reversal Successful? 

Studies have shown APR to be successful at helping sustain a pregnancy after mifepristone in 64-68% of cases. 

If you’ve taken mifepristone and regret your decision, it’s essential to start APR as soon as possible to have the best chance of success. (Please note that if you’ve already taken misoprostol, the second medication, abortion pill reversal is no longer an option.)

Is Abortion Pill Reversal Safe?

The progesterone that’s used in Abortion Pill Reversal has been used safely throughout pregnancy for the past 50 years. 

If you want to reverse your abortion, do not take the second medication, misoprostol. Misoprostol, if taken, is associated with birth defects.
