Abortion Pill Reversal
Offering women options after a medication abortion has begun
What if I Changed My Mind?
If you have taken only the first dose of the abortion pill (mifepristone) and have changed your mind about going through with the abortion, it still may be possible to continue your pregnancy if you act quickly. Contact the Abortion Pill Reversal Hotline at 1-877-558-0333 immediately.
How Does it Work?
The first pill in the abortion pill regimen (mifepristone) blocks progesterone. Without progesterone, the pregnancy cannot continue and the fetus stops growing. The second pill (misoprostol), taken 24-48 hours after the first, causes cramping and bleeding to empty the uterus.
The Abortion Pill Reversal process uses supplemental progesterone to counteract the first pill (mifepristone), but only if the second pill (misoprostol) has NOT been taken yet. Ideally, a woman needs to start this protocol within 24 hours of taking mifepristone to increase her chance of a successful reversal. However, according to the Abortion Pill Rescue Network, there also have been successful reversals when treatment began within 72 hours of taking the first pill.
Again, contact the Abortion Pill Reversal Hotline at 1-877-558-0333 immediately.
