How Does Abortion Pill Reversal Work?
The first drug in the abortion pill process, mifepristone, blocks progesterone, the hormone your body needs to keep a pregnancy growing. Abortion pill reversal works by giving you extra progesterone to compete with the mifepristone and, ideally, continue the pregnancy.
Here’s how it usually unfolds. You call the Abortion Pill Rescue Network, where a medical professional talks through your situation. An ultrasound confirms the pregnancy is in the uterus and still developing. Then, if reversal is an option for you, a provider prescribes progesterone to begin the protocol.
Outcomes vary, and no result is guaranteed. Starting quickly gives it the best chance of success.
Is It Too Late to Reverse the Abortion Pill?
That depends on where you are in the process. The abortion pill works in two parts. Mifepristone comes first, and misoprostol follows later. If you’ve taken mifepristone but haven’t taken misoprostol yet, reversal may still be possible.
Timing is everything here. The process works best when it starts within 24 hours of that first drug, though there have been successful reversals started later. If you’re thinking about this at all, reach out now rather than waiting, and do not take misoprostol.
Is Progesterone Safe?
Progesterone isn’t new or experimental. It’s the same hormone your body already makes during pregnancy, and doctors have used it for decades to support healthy pregnancies. According to the Abortion Pill Rescue Network, the reversal protocol has not been linked to a higher risk of birth defects.
If you have questions or concerns, the hotline’s medical team can walk you through them. You will want to inform your provider if you have a peanut allergy.
