Abortion Pill Reversal

Regret beginning a medicated abortion? There is hope for stopping the process with natural progesterone therapy, often called Abortion Pill Reversal (APR). Progesterone therapy must begin as soon as possible after taking the first pill (mifepristone), and within the first 72 hours. Reach out for help and guidance by contacting Care Pregnancy Clinic at 225-275-0100 or by calling 877-558-0333. Saving your pregnancy is time critical.  Call as soon as possible after taking the first abortion pill.

Understanding the Abortion Pill Reversal Process

Saving your pregnancy with abortion pill reversal is time-sensitive. The most effective results are observed when the process is initiated within 24 hours of taking the first dose.  However, the process can be effective up to 72 hours after the first dose.

Progesterone is a natural hormone that a woman’s body naturally produces to sustain a baby during pregnancy.  Mifepristone, the first abortion pill, blocks progesterone, starving the baby. By giving more progesterone to the pregnant woman, either through capsules or by injection, the effects of the initial abortion pill, mifepristone, may be counteracted.  

Studies indicate that 64-68% of APR patients successfully continued their pregnancies when progesterone therapy was initiated within 24 hours of taking the abortion pill. Nonetheless, there have been numerous instances of successful reversals even when treatment commenced later. If you want to begin reversing the effects of chemical abortion through progesterone therapy, call Care Pregnancy Clinic at 225-275-0100 or the APR hotline number at 877-558-0333.

Navigating the Abortion Pill Reversal Process

Once the decision to reverse a chemical abortion is made, a medical professional will perform an ultrasound as soon as possible. The ultrasound is essential to confirm vital information such as the heart rate, location, and gestational age of the baby. Based on the results, the medical provider may prescribe progesterone in either pill form or as an intramuscular injection. This treatment typically continues for the following two weeks, while monitoring the health of the baby.

Addressing Possible Concerns and Side Effects

During the abortion pill reversal process, experiencing cramping and spotting is common. It is crucial to continue the progesterone treatment even if there is bleeding. However, if you encounter heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or flu-like symptoms, seek emergency medical attention immediately. It is important to note that there is no known connection between the progesterone therapy and birth defects. Some women may experience temporary fatigue, headaches, or dizziness during progesterone treatment, and these symptoms can often be alleviated by increasing fluid intake.
