The choice to keep or end a pregnancy is not easy to make. Knowing if you’ve made the right decision under a lot of stress or fear can be difficult.
If you have taken the first dose of the abortion pill (called Mifepristone) and regret your decision, reach out to us today. You can also call the Abortion Pill Reversal hotline at 1-877-558-0333 to find the nearest abortion reversal medical provider.
Am I Too Late?
If you’ve taken the first dose of the abortion pill and think you’ve made a wrong decision, there is a window in which it is possible to reverse the process, but there is no time to waste.
If you have only taken Mifepristone and decide that you want to reverse the process, DO NOT take the Misoprostol dose. If you have already taken both, still reach out to us or the abortion pill reversal hotline, as you may still be pregnant, and there is still hope.
How Does Abortion Pill Reversal Work?
Medical abortions consist of two drugs: Mifepristone and Misoprostol. Mifepristone works to block the hormone progesterone.
Blocking progesterone causes the uterus to thin, and Misoprostol makes the body contract and expel the fetus from the uterus.
With abortion pill reversal, a prescription of progesterone is given by a licensed medical professional to try and provide progesterone that Mifepristone initially blocked in the abortion pill.
Is It Safe?
While no procedure has a 100% guarantee, the abortion pill reversal process is safe and effective.
Possible Side Effects of Progesterone
As with any procedure or treatment, there are potential side effects for some women with progesterone treatment. These may include
- Sleepiness
- Lack of energy
- Lightheadedness
- Dizziness
- Gastrointestinal discomfort
- Headaches
Drinking more fluids may help to relieve these symptoms. However, it is essential to follow all of the instructions of your abortion pill reversal provider carefully and to contact them if you feel you may be experiencing any of the above symptoms.
