What Is Abortion Pill Reversal (APR)?
We all make quick decisions we wish we had thought about a little more. When you discovered your unplanned pregnancy, you might have chosen abortion without really thinking it through.
Abortion Pill Reversal gives you a chance to save your pregnancy even though you have begun the abortion pill process. You may have been told by the abortion provider that you must complete the abortion pill process, but if you have not taken the second drug and are within the 72-hour window, you have a chance to save your pregnancy.
How Does Abortion Pill Reversal Work?
When you use the abortion pill method, you take two powerful drugs. The first drug, mifepristone, blocks a hormone called progesterone from reaching the pregnancy.
Progesterone is a natural hormone that has been used safely in pregnancy for over 50 years. Without progesterone, the pregnancy cannot survive and is terminated.
Abortion pill reversal floods your body with progesterone. Studies found that intramuscular progesterone (a shot) and high-dose oral progesterone (a pill) were the most effective, with 64% to 68% reversal rates.
Success is related to how quickly you begin taking progesterone. You have a better success rate if you start progesterone within 24 hours of taking mifepristone (the first drug in the abortion pill process). Some women have had success beginning the progesterone regimen up to 72 hours, but the sooner, the better.
