Abortion Pill Reversal Information

If you or someone you know took the abortion pill and regret it, there may still be time to save your pregnancy.

What is the “abortion pill”?
The RU486 abortion “pill” is actually 2 different kinds of medications taken 24 to 48 hours apart.  The first pill (mifepristone) works by blocking progesterone, a hormone vital to continue a pregnancy.

Can it be reversed?
An effective process called Abortion Pill Reversal* gives your unborn child a second chance at life. 

The reversal process is very successful but not guaranteed. Timing is important. This process works by introducing more progesterone into the body to combat the first pills effects.  Progesterone is completely safe during pregnancy, in fact, it’s a hormone your body already makes, and the reversal process simply adds more of it.  The rate of success ranges from 64-68%.  You may experience some bleeding or cramping during the reversal process, if it increases or you experience faintness, severe pain, or fever please seek immediate medical care.

The reversal process would start within 24 (but up to 72) hours after taking the first pill and before the second pill (misoprostol) is taken.
