If you’ve taken the first abortion pill drug (mifepristone) and are regretting your decision, it may not be too late to reverse its effects.

Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) is a medical protocol designed to help women who want to try to continue their pregnancy after starting a medical abortion.

At A Woman’s Concern, we are here to support you and connect you with APR resources—but time is of the essence. The sooner you start APR, the better your chances of continuing your pregnancy.

How Does Abortion Pill Reversal Work?

The abortion pill process typically involves two medications: mifepristone and misoprostol. Mifepristone works by blocking progesterone, a hormone vital for maintaining pregnancy. Without mifepristone, your uterine lining will loosen and eventually shed, causing your pregnancy to detach and end.

APR focuses on counteracting the effects of mifepristone by administering a large dose of progesterone, a hormone naturally produced during pregnancy.

How Successful Is Abortion Pill Reversal?

Abortion Pill Reversal has been shown to be successful 64-68% of the time.

However, APR is most effective if started within 24 to 72 hours of taking mifepristone and before taking misoprostol.

What If I Regret My Decision but Need Support?

First and foremost, if you regret your decision to take mifepristone, it’s important to get started on APR as soon as possible.

Next, know that A Woman’s Concern is here to help provide the resources you need to feel encouraged and supported to move forward.
