Started the Abortion Pill and Regret It?
If you have taken the first abortion drug and are now having second thoughts, you may still have time to act. Abortion pill reversal, often called APR, is a protocol that can counteract the effects of mifepristone if treatment begins as soon as possible.
Options Clinic offers emergency prescriptions on-site for APR. If you contact us quickly, we can evaluate your situation and begin care without delay.
How the Abortion Pill Works
Medical abortion typically involves two drugs. The first drug, mifepristone, blocks progesterone. Progesterone is a hormone necessary for supporting the growth and development of the pregnancy. The second drug, misoprostol, is taken later and causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy.
Abortion pill reversal focuses on the time window after taking mifepristone but before taking misoprostol.
How APR May Help
APR works by injecting progesterone into the body to counteract the effects of mifepristone. Progesterone has been used in pregnancy care for decades, particularly to support women at risk for miscarriage.
Research indicates that when APR is started within 24 to 72 hours after taking mifepristone, the likelihood of continuing the pregnancy increases significantly. Success rates reported range from 64% to 68% (depending on the treatment method) when APR begins within the recommended timeframe.
Some successful cases have occurred even after that window, though earlier treatment offers higher success rates. Because timing is critical, immediate action is important.
