What to Know About Abortion Pill Reversal
If you’ve started a medication abortion and have changed your mind, you may be wondering if there’s a way to reverse the process. The answer is likely yes, and it’s called Abortion pill reversal (APR).
This medical intervention is designed to help women who want to try to continue their pregnancy after taking the first abortion pill, mifepristone.
Here’s what you need to know about how it works and why time is critical.
How Does Abortion Pill Reversal Work?
The abortion pill involves two medications: mifepristone, which blocks progesterone—a hormone essential for sustaining pregnancy—and misoprostol, which induces contractions to expel the pregnancy from your uterus.
APR works by countering the effects of mifepristone through administering progesterone, a hormone naturally produced by the body during pregnancy. Progesterone has been safely used for decades to support pregnancies at risk of miscarriage.
Why Timing Matters
The earlier you start APR after taking mifepristone, the better the chances of success. Research suggests that APR is most effective when started within 24 to 72 hours of taking mifepristone and before taking the second medication, misoprostol.
If you’re considering abortion pill reversal, it’s essential to act quickly. If you’ve taken mifepristone but haven’t yet taken misoprostol, it may still be possible to reverse the effects and continue the pregnancy.
