Yes! If you recently took the first drug in the abortion pill regimen (mifepristone) and regret your decision, there is a chance you can continue your pregnancy by starting Abortion Pill Reversal (APR).
What Is Abortion Pill Reversal?
When you take mifepristone (the first drug in the abortion pill regimen), it blocks progesterone. Without this essential hormone, your uterine lining will loosen and shed, eventually causing your pregnancy to detach and end.
Abortion Pill Reversal works by flooding your body with progesterone. The goal is to counteract the anti-progesterone effects of mifepristone.
However, time is of the essence! Studies suggest that APR is most effective when started within 24-72 hours of taking mifepristone.
What About the Second Pill?
If you’ve taken mifepristone, the first drug in the abortion pill regimen, and you’re regretting your decision—do not take the second drug, misoprostol.
Misoprostol causes your uterus to contract, which will expel your pregnancy from your uterus and out through your vagina.
If you want to continue your pregnancy, starting APR immediately is essential.
