What If I Change My Mind After Taking the Abortion Pill? 

If you’ve taken the first abortion pill and now you’re having second thoughts, don’t panic. You may still have options. 

The first medication used in a medication abortion is called mifepristone. If you’ve taken mifepristone but no longer want to continue with the abortion, contact a medical professional as soon as possible to discuss Abortion Pill Reversal (APR). 

What Is Abortion Pill Reversal? 

Abortion Pill Reversal is a medical protocol that uses progesterone after mifepristone has been taken. 

Mifepristone works by blocking progesterone, a hormone that supports pregnancy. APR uses progesterone in an attempt to counteract the effects of mifepristone and support the pregnancy. APR is most effective when started within 24–72 hours of taking mifepristone. 

What If I Haven’t Taken the Second Pill? 

If you’ve taken mifepristone but have not yet taken misoprostol, don’t wait to get help. 

Call a medical professional as soon as possible to discuss your situation and whether APR may be appropriate for you. 

Prestonwood Pregnancy Center provides Abortion Pill Reversal at no cost.

What If I’ve Already Taken Both Pills? 

If you’ve already taken both medications, 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 Are Allowed to Change Your Mind 

Maybe you felt pressured. Maybe you weren’t sure about your decision. Maybe you took the first pill and immediately knew you didn’t want to continue. 

Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to face the next step alone. 

If you’ve taken mifepristone and changed your mind, call 972-428-4700 as soon as possible to speak with a nurse about Abortion Pill Reversal.
