How the Abortion Pill Works

The abortion pill process uses two drugs in sequence. The first drug, mifepristone, blocks progesterone, a hormone that is essential for maintaining an early pregnancy. Without enough progesterone, the pregnancy cannot continue.

The second drug, misoprostol, is usually taken within a day or two and causes abdominal cramping and vaginal bleeding, expelling the pregnancy to empty the uterus.

What Is Abortion Pill Reversal?

Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) is a time-sensitive medically supervised protocol that can counteract the effects of mifepristone by providing additional progesterone. Progesterone has been safely used in pregnancy care for over 50 years, including in situations where a pregnancy is at risk of miscarriage.

Timing and What We Know About Outcomes

If only mifepristone, the first drug in the abortion process, has been taken and you are now reconsidering your decision, there may still be a possibility to continue your pregnancy.

APR works best when started as soon as possible after taking mifepristone, often within the first 24 hours, though some successful cases have occurred up to 72 hours or more. While APR does not guarantee success, studies show 64 to 68% continued pregnancies with this protocol, without increased risk of birth defects.

Some women who reconsidered after taking mifepristone have gone on to continue their pregnancies through abortion pill reversal and have shared their experiences.

If you have taken misoprostol, the second drug, still reach out to assess your situation with a nurse.
