Understanding Abortion Pill Reversal (APR)

Abortion pill reversal (APR) is a medically supervised approach that uses supplemental progesterone to counteract the effects of mifepristone, the first drug used in a medical abortion. 

Evidence suggests that abortion pill reversal is most effective when started as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours of taking mifepristone. However, successful reversals have also been reported when treatment begins up to 72 hours later. Some studies have noted success rates of approximately 64–68% when progesterone therapy is started within this time frame.

APR works by introducing extra progesterone into your body to counteract mifepristone, giving your pregnancy the best chance to continue. Many women have successfully used this approach when supervised by medical professionals.

Why Prompt Action Matters

Because the effects of mifepristone increase over time, seeking help quickly is essential. Delays reduce the likelihood of a successful reversal. Even if misoprostol has not yet been taken, early consultation is critical to explore available options safely.

If you’ve taken the first pill but not misoprostol, do not take the second dose. Instead, immediately contact the 24/7 Abortion Pill Reversal Hotline at (877) 558-0333 to connect with trained providers who can coordinate next steps.

Changing your mind after starting a medical abortion can feel urgent and overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Oasis Medical Center provides medically trained staff who can guide you through your options safely, including abortion pill reversal.
