Is Abortion Pill Reversal Hard on Your Body?

Did you take the abortion pill and are second-guessing your decision?

You might still be able to save your pregnancy if you act fast.

Abortion pill reversal (APR) works to counteract the effect the abortion pill has on a woman’s body, and it does not pose a threat to your health or your pregnancy. Continue reading to learn more about APR and how to get started. 

How Does the Abortion Pill Work? 

The abortion pill, also known as a medical abortion, uses a series of drugs, mifepristone and misoprostol, to terminate a pregnancy. 

Mifepristone acts by blocking progesterone to thin the lining of the uterus and causes the pregnancy to detach and stop growing. 

Misoprostol creates uterine contractions and leads to the expulsion of the pregnancy through the vagina. 

How Does the Abortion Pill Reversal Work? 

The abortion pill reversal is a progesterone pill that acts to reverse the effect of mifepristone. Progesterone is elevated in the body during pregnancy and sustains an environment that can help a healthy pregnancy grow. When administered, progesterone can counteract the impact that mifepristone has on the pregnancy.   

Studies have shown that the APR process is 64-68% successful.

It is best to begin the APR process within 24 hours. However, the abortion pill has been reversed up to 72 hours later, so it may not be too late.

No matter where you are in the abortion process, contact the hotline as soon as possible for the best chance to reverse your abortion. 

Is It Dangerous to Reverse My Abortion?

For over 50 years, progesterone has been used to reverse abortions safely, and according to the National Library of Medicine, APR is not associated with an increased rate of birth defects.
