If you’ve taken the first abortion drug and immediately regretted your decision, you may feel frightened, nervous, or unsure whether it’s too late to change your mind.
The good news is that if you’ve only taken the first abortion drug (mifepristone) and have not yet taken the second drug (misoprostol), there may still be time to explore a treatment called Abortion Pill Reversal (APR).
Because timing is critical, it’s important to seek help as soon as possible. Read on to learn more about Abortion Pill Reversal, or contact Arise Center for Women to find more information and how to get started.
What Is Abortion Pill Reversal?
A medical abortion typically involves two abortion drugs.
The first drug, mifepristone, blocks progesterone, a hormone your body naturally produces to help support a pregnancy. Without progesterone, your pregnancy will detach from the uterine lining and end. The second drug, misoprostol, is usually taken 24 to 48 hours later and causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy.
Abortion Pill Reversal is a treatment that attempts to counteract the effects of mifepristone by administering progesterone before the second abortion drug is taken.
Progesterone has been used safely for decades in pregnancy to help support women with certain pregnancy-related conditions. The goal of APR is to give the pregnancy the best possible chance to continue.
Because misoprostol completes the abortion process, APR is intended for women who have taken mifepristone but have not yet taken misoprostol.
Don’t Wait to Seek Help
When it comes to Abortion Pill Reversal, time matters.
Healthcare providers who offer APR generally recommend beginning treatment as soon as possible after taking mifepristone. While treatment may still be considered later in some situations, the sooner you seek medical care, the greater your chances of saving your pregnancy.
Even if you’re unsure whether you’re eligible, don’t assume it’s too late. Reaching out quickly gives you the best opportunity to speak with someone who can help.
