Abortion Pill Reversal

What Is Abortion Pill Reversal (APR)?

A major medical decision like having an abortion affects a woman physically and emotionally. Sometimes, when a woman takes the first pill in the abortion pill regimen, she has a change of heart.

With Abortion Pill Reversal (APR), there is a chance to save her pregnancy. Since the first drug in the abortion pill method, mifepristone, blocks progesterone, APR floods her body with this hormone.

The key to her success with APR is how quickly she begins the process. The sooner she starts, the better her chances.

How Do I Start APR?

The following are the recommended steps for reversing an abortion:

• Call the APR hotline at (877) 558-0333 or use the chat feature on their website.
• An on-call Healthcare Professional will ask some basic questions to see if a reversal is possible.
• The Healthcare Professional then connects you with a doctor or medical provider in your area to start treatment if you choose.

The goal is to begin getting the progesterone within 24 hours of taking the first abortion pill. However, women have had success as late as 72 hours afterward.

Do not take the second drug, misoprostol, in the abortion pill regimen.

To begin the APR process, you need an ultrasound as soon as possible to confirm the pregnancy’s heartbeat, location, and gestational age. A medical provider will prescribe progesterone as a pill to take orally or vaginally or possibly in an injection.

Is APR Safe?

Physicians have prescribed progesterone for pregnancies, infertility, and menopause for over 50 years. There is no apparent increase in birth defects for your child.

What is the Success Rate?

Once again, how quickly you begin APR affects your success at saving your pregnancy. One study found there can be a 64% to 68% success rate.

If you’ve changed your mind after taking the first abortion drug, it may not be too late to save your pregnancy. Contact us now!
