Abortion Pill Reversal (APR)
When you use the abortion pill method to end your pregnancy, abortion providers usually prescribe two drugs. The first drug, mifepristone, blocks the hormone progesterone from reaching the pregnancy.
The lack of progesterone causes the uterine lining to thin, so the pregnancy can no longer grow. Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) brings progesterone into the situation, which is often able to reverse the effect of mifepristone.
How Effective Is APR?
If you receive the APR within 24 to 72 hours after taking mifepristone, studies show a 64% to 68% success rate when progesterone is administered as soon as possible.
It is critical that you do not take the second drug, misoprostol. This second dose causes vaginal bleeding and contractions to expel the pregnancy and tissue from your body. However, even if you have taken misoprostol, reach out anyway. Sometimes, the abortion pills do not work even when taken as directed.
Safety Information
Progesterone is a natural hormone that supports pregnancy. It is also given to women who struggle with recurrent miscarriages. It is completely safe and necessary for a pregnancy.
However, if you have a peanut allergy, let your APR provider know immediately, as peanut oil is sometimes used in progesterone. Alternative forms of progesterone without peanut oil could be available to you.
