Can the Abortion Pill be Reversed?

The simple answer is yes! If done in time.

There is an effective process called abortion pill reversal that can reverse the effects of the abortion pill and allow you to continue your pregnancy, but time is of the essence.

If you’ve taken the first abortion pill, but changed your mind, know that you still have options. Abortion pill reversal treatment may be the right choice for you.

What is Abortion Pill Reversal?

Abortion pill reversal is a process that counteracts the effects of the first dose of the abortion pill, mifepristone.

Using the natural hormone progesterone, medical professionals have been able to save 64-68% of pregnancies through abortion pill reversal.

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. 

How Do I start the Abortion Pill Reversal Process? 

• Call our hotline at  (877) 558-0333.  
• The on-call Healthcare Professional will ask you some basic questions to see if a reversal is possible.
• The Healthcare Professional will then connect you with a medical provider in your area to start treatment if that is your choice.

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.

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.
