Can the Abortion Pill Be Reversed?
The answer is yes!
The effects of the abortion pill can be reversed if the process is initiated in a timely manner. Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) is an effective medical intervention that can halt the effects of the abortion pill and allow the pregnancy to continue, but it requires prompt action. Some women experience regret after taking the first pill and wish to reverse the process. In these cases, Abortion Pill Reversal, which utilizes the natural hormone progesterone, has been successful in saving up to 68% of pregnancies (Learn more about the success of APR).
It may not be too late. There is an effective process called Abortion Pill Reversal that gives your unborn child a second chance at life.

How Does the Abortion Pill Reversal Process Work?
The abortion pill, also referred to as medication abortion or chemical abortion (Read more), is a method of terminating a pregnancy using prescription drugs rather than surgery. This option is typically available for pregnancies in the first ten weeks of gestation. The abortion pill reversal process involves taking two medications - mifepristone followed by misoprostol - to induce a medical abortion.
The abortion pill regimen works in two steps. First, mifepristone is taken to block the absorption of progesterone, the hormone necessary for pregnancy to continue. This causes the uterine lining, which had thickened to support the pregnancy, to begin breaking down. 24-48 hours later, misoprostol is taken, prompting the uterus to contract and expel the fetus (Read more). It's important to note that the available research shows best outcomes for reversals started before taking misoprostol.
The abortion pill reversal treatment is a medical intervention that aims to counteract the effects of the first abortion pill. This involves administering high doses of progesterone to offset the initial mifepristone dose and potentially halt the abortion process, with the goal of preserving the viability of the pregnancy.
Progesterone, the natural hormone essential for nurturing and sustaining pregnancy, is blocked by the first pill in the abortion regimen. By administering additional progesterone, we aim to overcome and counteract the effects of the first abortion pill, providing an opportunity to save the pregnancy.
Is it too late to reverse the abortion pill?
For those seeking to reverse the effects of the abortion pill (also known as a chemical or medical abortion) (Learn more), time is of the essence. The goal is to start the reversal protocol within 24 hours of taking the first abortion pill, mifepristone (also called RU-486). However, successful reversals have occurred even when treatment was initiated within 72 hours of taking the first abortion pill (Successful abortion pill reversal).
However, even if 72 hours have passed, please give us a call - It still may not be too late!
