What You Need to Know About Abortion Pill Reversal

If you’ve taken the first abortion pill, mifepristone, and regret your decision, you’re likely feeling scared and overwhelmed. Your feelings are understandable, but there is good news: you might be able to continue your pregnancy through Abortion Pill Reversal (APR)—a medical protocol designed to counteract the effects of mifepristone.

At Liberty Women’s Clinic, we will connect you quickly to a local organization that can help you receive APR right away. If you’re regretting taking mifepristone and want to continue your pregnancy, reach out immediately to the Abortion Pill Reversal Hotline at 1-877-558-0333.

Read on to learn what you need to know about APR.

How APR Works

Mifepristone, the first drug in the abortion pill series, works by blocking progesterone, a hormone necessary for maintaining the pregnancy. Without progesterone, your uterine lining will eventually loosen, and your pregnancy will detach.

APR works by replenishing progesterone levels in your body, giving your pregnancy the best chance to continue. The treatment involves prescribing progesterone, which has been used safely for over 50 years to support women at risk of miscarriage to maintain healthy pregnancies.

Timing is Critical

If you’ve taken mifepristone and want to reverse its effects, you must act quickly. APR is most effective when started within 24 to 72 hours of taking the abortion pill, though success has been reported even later.

The sooner you begin progesterone treatment, the greater the chances of continuing your pregnancy.

Is APR Safe?

Progesterone has been safely used for decades to support pregnancies, and studies have shown that using it as part of APR poses no known risk to a developing baby. Many women who have undergone APR have successfully continued their pregnancies and given birth to healthy babies.
