Did you take the first drug in the abortion pill series (mifepristone) and regret your decision? If so, there’s still a chance to reverse mifepristone’s effects through Abortion Pill Reversal (APR)—but time is of the essence.
Read on to learn more about APR, how it works, the information you need to know, and where you can access it.
What Is Abortion Pill Reversal?
The abortion pill is a combination of two different drugs.
Mifepristone is taken first. It works by blocking a hormone called progesterone, a hormone that’s essential for maintaining your pregnancy. Without progesterone, the uterine lining thins, causing your pregnancy to eventually detach and end.
Misoprostol is taken next, and it causes uterine contractions that expel the pregnancy from the uterus and out through the vagina.
Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) works to counter mifepristone’s effects through sustained doses of progesterone. The goal of this is to prevent the uterine lining from thinning, thus sustaining your pregnancy.
Is Abortion Pill Reversal Effective and Safe?
Abortion Pill Reversal has been used safely in pregnancy for over 50 years.
APR is most effective if started within 24-72 hours after taking mifepristone (it will not work if you’ve already taken misoprostol). This means that the sooner you take APR, the greater the likelihood of success.
