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.
