Abortion Pill Reversal:
What You Need to Know
Abortion is a deeply personal decision, and sometimes individuals may change their minds after starting a medication abortion. In such cases, some healthcare providers offer a treatment known as abortion pill reversal.
What is abortion pill reversal?
Abortion pill reversal is a treatment designed to stop the effects of the first medication in a medication abortion process — mifepristone. This method involves administering high doses of the hormone progesterone, which is intended to counteract mifepristone and support the continuation of the pregnancy.
How does it work?
Step 1
After taking mifepristone (the first pill in a medication abortion), individuals who wish to reverse the process are advised not to take the second medication, misoprostol.
Step 2
As soon as possible, progesterone is administered — typically via pills, injections, or vaginal suppositories — to attempt to stabilize the pregnancy.
Step 3
Follow-up care is required to monitor the individual’s health and confirm whether the pregnancy is continuing.
Is Abortion Pill Reversal Safe?
Progesterone has been used safely for decades in pregnancy-related treatments; however, its use specifically for reversing a medication abortion is still under study. Anyone considering this option should consult a qualified healthcare provider to understand the risks and potential outcomes.
Emotional and Medical Support
If you’re feeling uncertain about your decision after starting a medication abortion, seeking immediate guidance from a healthcare provider is crucial. Compassionate counseling services are also available to offer emotional support during this time.
Connect with Support
Decisions about pregnancy are complex and personal. If you’re exploring abortion pill reversal or other options, the most important step is to connect with trusted medical professionals who can provide clear information and guidance. No matter your path, your well-being and peace of mind are what matter most.
