What is Abortion Pill Reversal? How Does Abortion Pill Reversal Work?
Abortion pill reversal is a process that counteracts the effects of the first dose of the abortion pill, mifepristone.
Mifepristone stops your body from producing the hormone progesterone, which enables the body to maintain the pregnancy. In abortion pill reversal, a doctor prescribes a progesterone pill to provide the body with extra progesterone, in an attempt to help the pregnancy to continue.
What is the Abortion Pill Reversal Success Rate?
Initial studies have shown a success rate of 64% to 68%1. However, be aware that the results of your specific situation can’t be guaranteed.
When Should I Start the Abortion Pill Reversal Process?
As soon as possible. The Abortion Pill Reversal Network states that, ideally, you should start the process within 24 hours of taking mifepristone2. However, there have been successful cases where treatment was started within 72 hours of taking the first half of the abortion pill.
Call our 24/7 hotline to speak to someone immediately about your options.
What are the Side Effects of Abortion Pill Reversal?
Although progesterone is a natural hormone, you may still experience some side effects from the abortion pill reversal treatment, such as:
- Lack of energy
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Headaches
- Gastrointestinal discomfort
Be sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to alleviate your symptoms! It’s also important to note that some forms of progesterone include peanut oil. If you have a peanut allergy, let your doctor know before starting the reversal process so they can provide you with an alternative form of progesterone.
