If you’ve taken the first abortion pill, mifepristone, and are now feeling unsure or regretful, you may be wondering if there is anything you can do. This moment can feel frightening, but you are not alone, and it may not be too late.
At Oasis Medical Center, we offer free abortion pill reversal (APR) services for women who want to try to continue their pregnancy after taking mifepristone. Acting quickly is critical, and understanding this protocol can help you move forward.
Call us at 662-287-8001 or text us 24/7 at 662-872-0810 to get started as soon as possible, and keep reading to learn more about the steps you’ll take.
1. Contact Oasis Medical Center as Soon as Possible
Abortion pill reversal (APR) is time-sensitive and works best when started within 24 to 48 hours after taking mifepristone, before the second drug, misoprostol, is taken. However, it can also work up to 72 hours after, and even later in certain cases.
Call us at 662-287-8001 or text 662-872-0810 any time, day or night. You can reach out the moment you realize you want help.
2. Speak with a Nurse About Your Situation
When you contact us, one of our nurses will talk with you about what you’ve taken, when you took it, and how you’re feeling. This conversation is entirely confidential and focused entirely on your health and the next steps.
If abortion pill reversal is appropriate, we will schedule you to come into our center as quickly as possible. The sooner APR begins, the better the chance of success.
3. Understand How Abortion Pill Reversal Works
The abortion pill process involves two drugs. Mifepristone, the first drug, works by blocking progesterone, a hormone your body produces to sustain pregnancy. Without progesterone, the pregnancy will end. Misoprostol is taken afterward, and it causes your uterus to contract, expelling the developing baby.
Abortion pill reversal works by administering progesterone in an effort to outnumber and outcompete the effects of Mifepristone. Progesterone has been safely prescribed for decades to support early pregnancy and reduce the risk of miscarriage. The reversal process is not associated with birth defects.
Studies have reported success rates ranging from 64–68% when APR is started promptly. While reversal is not guaranteed, it offers a real possibility for women who wish to continue their pregnancy.
It’s important to note that once misoprostol (the second abortion drug) has been taken, the process cannot be reversed. That’s why reaching out right away matters so much.
4. Receive Ongoing Medical Care and Support
If you begin abortion pill reversal, our nurses will monitor your progress and answer your questions. We’ll also perform an ultrasound to confirm that the pregnancy is still viable.
This can be an emotional time, and our goal is to ensure you feel informed, supported, and cared for, medically and emotionally.
You Still Have Options
Feeling unsure after taking the abortion pill is more common than many people realize. Continuing your pregnancy may still be an option, and help may still be available.
