Do you want to try to continue your pregnancy?
You took the first abortion drug, but something changed. If you have taken mifepristone but have not taken misoprostol, call the 24/7 Abortion Pill Reversal helpline now at 877-558-0333 or use the live chat on its website.
Call the APR Helpline First
Abortion pill reversal is time-sensitive. Contact the helpline even if you do not remember exactly when you took mifepristone or think too much time may have passed.
An on-call healthcare professional will ask a few initial questions and may connect you with a doctor or medical provider who can determine whether treatment can be attempted.
Acts of Hope Pregnancy Resource Center does not provide, prescribe, arrange, or oversee Abortion Pill Reversal treatment. If you contact our center about APR, we will direct you to the same 24/7 helpline. Calling the network first can save time.
Where APR Fits in the Abortion Pill Process
The FDA-approved abortion pill regimen uses two drugs:
- Mifepristone is taken first. It blocks progesterone, a hormone needed for a pregnancy to continue.
- Misoprostol is generally taken 24 to 48 hours later. It causes uterine contractions and vaginal bleeding that force the uterus to expel the pregnancy.
APR is intended only for the period after mifepristone has been taken and before misoprostol has been taken. If you want to attempt reversal, contact the helpline before taking any additional abortion drugs.
If you have already taken misoprostol, tell the healthcare professional exactly what you took and when. APR is not considered effective after misoprostol, but a licensed provider can discuss any medical care or follow-up you may need.
What Might Treatment Involve?
If a medical provider determines that APR can be attempted, the provider may prescribe progesterone. The ultrasound may be used to estimate gestational age, identify the pregnancy’s location, and look for cardiac activity when it is detectable.
Progesterone is prescribed in an attempt to counter the effects of mifepristone. The dose, method, length of treatment, and follow-up schedule are determined by the treating provider.
What Does the Research Show?
Progesterone has been used in pregnancy care for more than 50 years. Research has examined its ability to support early pregnancy and reduce miscarriage risk in certain women. Although no outcome can be guaranteed, studies report that 64% to 68% of pregnancies continued when progesterone was initiated after mifepristone.
What to Have Ready When You Call
Do not postpone the call while gathering information. If you know these details, be prepared to share:
- When you took mifepristone
- Whether you took misoprostol or any other drugs
- The first day of your last menstrual period or estimated gestational age
- Any vaginal bleeding, cramping, pain, dizziness, or other symptoms
- Any allergies, such as a peanut allergy, or health conditions the provider needs to know about
