Can the Abortion Pill Be Reversed? What to Know About Abortion Pill Reversal 

If you’ve taken the first abortion pill and are now wondering if you can change your mind, you may have searched for “Can the abortion pill be reversed?” 

The answer is that Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) is a protocol intended to counteract the effects of mifepristone and support an ongoing pregnancy. If you’ve taken mifepristone and don’t want to continue the abortion, contact a medical professional as soon as possible. 

Call 972-428-4700 to speak with a nurse. 

What Is Abortion Pill Reversal? 

A medication abortion typically begins with mifepristone, which blocks progesterone, a hormone needed to maintain a pregnancy. Misoprostol is then taken to cause uterine contractions and expel the pregnancy. 

APR uses progesterone after mifepristone in an attempt to counteract the effects of the first medication and support the pregnancy. 

Does Abortion Pill Reversal Work? 

APR does not guarantee that a pregnancy will continue. Outcomes can vary, and the available evidence regarding APR has limitations. 

Prestonwood Pregnancy Center provides APR and its protocol is most effective when started within 24–72 hours after taking mifepristone. 

Because timing matters, it’s important not to wait if you’ve changed your mind. 

What If I Already Took Mifepristone? 

If you’ve taken the first abortion pill but have not taken the second medication, contact a medical professional right away. 

A nurse can help you understand what steps to take based on your specific situation. 

Call Prestonwood Pregnancy Center at 972-428-4700. 

APR is provided at no cost through Prestonwood Pregnancy Center. 

What If I’ve Taken Both Medications? 

If you’ve already taken both mifepristone and misoprostol, contact your healthcare provider for guidance about your specific situation. 

If you’re experiencing severe bleeding, severe pain, fever or other concerning symptoms, seek immediate medical attention. 

You Don’t Have to Be Afraid to Ask for Help 

Changing your mind doesn’t mean you have to be embarrassed or ashamed. 

Maybe you weren’t sure about your decision. Maybe you felt pressured. Or maybe you simply realized you weren’t ready to go through with the abortion. 

Whatever the reason, you can reach out for information about what may be possible.
