Did you recently take the first drug (mifepristone) in the abortion pill series? Are you regretting your decision? If so, there is hope that your pregnancy can continue by taking Abortion Pill Reversal (APR). However, time is of the essence. APR is most successful at helping a pregnancy to continue if taken as soon as possible after mifepristone.
How Does Abortion Pill Reversal Work?
When you take the first abortion drug, mifepristone, it blocks progesterone, an essential hormone that’s needed to sustain your pregnancy. Without progesterone, the lining of the uterus thins and loosens, which causes the pregnancy to detach and end.
Abortion pill reversal works to counteract the effects of mifepristone by flooding your body with progesterone. However, it’s important to know that the APR process can only be done after taking mifepristone and not the second drug, misoprostol.
How Safe and Effective Is Abortion Pill Reversal?
The type of progesterone used in APR has been safely used for the past 50 years. And studies show that when APR is taken within 72 hours of mifepristone, the process has a 64-68% success rate.
What If I Regret My Decision but Can’t Parent?
If you regret taking the abortion drug, it’s critical to seek help immediately—your mental health depends on it. According to a study looking at the link between abortion and adverse mental health outcomes, it’s clear that “at least some women do have significant mental health issues that are caused, triggered, aggravated, or complicated by their abortion experience.” And feeling pressured into an abortion or regretting your decision are risk factors for experiencing mental health complications.
