If you have taken the abortion pill mifepristone but have second thoughts, you have an option. The abortion pill reversal protocol can be used to reverse the effects of mifepristone.

It is essential that if you change your mind about your abortion, you reach out for help as soon as possible to better the chances of continuing your pregnancy. Contact us for support.

How Does the Abortion Pill Work?

A medical abortion utilizes two drugs to stop the pregnancy and to expel it from the uterus. Mifepristone, the first pill, blocks the hormone progesterone needed by the body to continue a pregnancy. Misoprostol is taken later to force the uterus to contract to expel the pregnancy.

How Does the Reversal Protocol Work?

Abortion reversal uses progesterone administered in the form of intramuscular injection, vaginal suppository, or oral dose. Progesterone used to reverse abortion has been shown to be safe and effective for both the woman and the fetus. It has been used for decades to support healthy pregnancies.

If you have only taken the first drug prescribed for an abortion, mifepristone, and you change your mind about the abortion, a medical professional will evaluate you to determine if you are a good candidate for abortion reversal.

An ultrasound will most likely be used to establish if the pregnancy is still progressing before administering the protocol.

A dose of progesterone will then be administered. You might be advised to continue taking progesterone during the first trimester of your pregnancy.

Will It Work?

Abortion reversal has been shown to increase the probability of the pregnancy continuing to 64-68%. These odds of success are greater when the abortion reversal is started as close to the mifepristone as possible.

When I found out I was pregnant with my first child, I was single, scared, and alone. I wondered how I would take care of my child. Would I be a good mom? When I went to the Hope Clinic, I felt hope for the first time. The staff members were very nice. They even prayed with me when I found out I was pregnant. I no longer felt alone. I was able to earn Baby Bucks and buy items for my baby. I would recommend the Hope Clinic to any woman who is pregnant or is questioning how she will take care of her child.
