Have you changed your mind after starting the abortion pill process?
If you have only taken the first of the abortion pills, there may still be an option for carrying the pregnancy to term.
Up to 64% of pregnancies are successfully carried to term using the abortion pill reversal protocol.
Timing is very important!
The reversal process is generally very successful, but not guaranteed. Timing is very important. The abortion pill reversal process works by introducing more progesterone into the body to combat the first pill’s effects.
The abortion pill reversal can only occur after the first dose of medical abortion (mifepristone) is taken orally and is generally ineffective after the second set of the medical abortion pills (misoprostol) have been taken.
How does it work?
The abortion pill reversal process involves a large influx of progesterone into the pregnant woman’s system. This is because the first pill, mifepristone, blocks progesterone from being absorbed by the womb. Mifepristone blocks where progesterone would normally be absorbed, so an influx of progesterone works to outcompete for the available binding spaces.
Is Abortion Pill Reversal Safe?
Yes, progesterone is the natural hormone in a woman’s body that is necessary to nurture and sustain a pregnancy. Progesterone has been safely used in pregnancy for over 50 years.
Is it approved by doctors?
Many OB/GYNs around the country are confident of the effectiveness of this option and prescribe it as an option for a woman considering reversing their decision. It would be best to speak to your healthcare provider who knows you and your history best.
From the American Pregnancy Association on progesterone and organizations that support its use:
Progesterone has been used in pregnancies for decades without any significant undesired effects. Many patients with high risk for miscarriage pregnancies are treated with progesterone throughout the first trimester without issues. Natural progesterone is also used in IVF pregnancies with no ill effects. As with any hormone, there are some risks; however, since progesterone has been so well tolerated, there is no reason to label the procedure “dangerous.” Progesterone, when used in this way, is not necessarily FDA approved. However, it is still used without legal issues.
Do any organizations support this process?
Yes, the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG) supports the procedure and in its public statement on abortion pill reversal, states three important things:
- Progesterone has been safely used during pregnancy for decades without undesired effects. (Many physicians agree but only when it is used properly.)
- For those infants who survive mifepristone, there is no evidence of birth defects associated with the medication. (ACOG itself has research confirming this).
- The efficacy of reversal is, in fact, higher than “sitting and waiting” alone (7- 40%, depending on gestation) to see if a pregnancy continues (this is based on small studies, but this is because there is a small population that chooses reversal in the first place).”
