Abortion pill reversal is a medical treatment that aims to counteract the effects of the first abortion pill, mifepristone, so that women can continue their pregnancies.
This procedure is about 64-68% effective in successfully reversing the abortion pill.
If you took the abortion pill and would like to reverse its effects, time is of the essence. Contact A Woman’s Concern for more information or call the 24/7 helpline (1-877-558-0333) after hours.
What Are the Risks of Abortion Pill Reversal?
Because mifepristone, the medical abortion drug, works to end a pregnancy by blocking the hormone progesterone, abortion pill reversal adds progesterone back into the body.
Progesterone can be given with either an intramuscular injection or a pill. It can cause sleepiness, lack of energy, lightheadedness, dizziness, gastrointestinal discomfort, and headaches. However, fluid intake might help relieve these symptoms. There are also other side effects to consider.
It’s important to follow your APR provider’s instructions carefully, share any concerns, and ask questions throughout the process.
One risk of the abortion pill reversal is that it might not work. Results are not 100% guaranteed, but if you regret the abortion pill, you may find it’s worth trying in case it works.
Some women ask about birth defects, but neither mifepristone nor progesterone has been associated with birth defects. Progesterone has been safely used in pregnancies for over fifty years.
What Are the Benefits of Abortion Pill Reversal?
The ultimate benefit of Abortion Pill Reversal is the possibility of continuing your pregnancy after taking the abortion pill. This reversal offers many women a fresh start after almost ending their pregnancies so that they can parent instead.
Another benefit is preventing the abortion pill process from progressing, which typically causes abdominal cramping and vaginal bleeding as the body begins to expel the pregnancy. This process carries serious risks, including potentially life-threatening bleeding and infection. That’s why it’s essential to speak with a doctor trained in Abortion Pill Reversal (APR), who can provide expert care and guidance every step of the way.
Timing Matters with Abortion Pill Reversal
The sooner you can start abortion pill reversal after taking mifepristone, the better the chances of success.
