Have you taken the abortion pill and are regretting your decision? If you’ve only taken the first drug, you can start the abortion pill reversal process (APR), which gives you a chance at continuing your pregnancy.
The APR is time sensitive, which means it is important to get help immediately by contacting the 24/7 Abortion Pill Reversal Helpline at 1-877-558-0333 if you have changed your mind.
Support is also available if you decide to continue your pregnancy or need someone to talk to if you have already taken both drugs. Find compassionate care near you.
If You’ve Taken Only the First Drug
The abortion pill involves two drugs: mifepristone and misoprostol.
Mifepristone works by blocking progesterone, a hormone that supports and maintains the pregnancy.
Misoprostol is taken later and causes the uterus to cramp and bleed, which expels the fetus and related tissue.
If only the first abortion pill, mifepristone, was taken, abortion pill reversal may still be an option. If the second drug has already been taken, abortion pill reversal is generally no longer considered effective because the abortion process has already begun.
Understanding the Abortion Pill Reversal Process
The abortion pill reversal process provides supplemental progesterone after taking the first drug, mifepristone. Because mifepristone works by blocking progesterone, APR uses additional progesterone in an attempt to counteract those effects and support the pregnancy.
Progesterone has been used in pregnancy care for more than 50 years and has been prescribed in some cases to help support pregnancy and reduce the risk of miscarriage.
Success is not guaranteed, but research shows reversal rates between 64% and 68% and has not shown an increased risk of birth defects. Timing is a factor, and reaching out to the 24/7 Abortion Pill Reversal Helpline as soon as possible may improve the likelihood of success.
Timing Is Important
The APR process is most effective when started within 24 hours of taking the first drug, mifepristone. There have, however, been successful reversals past this time window up to 72 hours and beyond. Even if 72 hours have passed, you should still reach out. It may not be too late.
