Preguntas frecuentes sobre la reversión de la píldora abortiva

A: It is a process that attempts to reverse the effects of the abortion pill, and allows you to continue your pregnancy, but time is of the essence.

The abortion pill is the common name for a chemical abortion process that combines two medications. It is also referred to as medical abortion, self-managed abortion, or DIY abortion. After taking the first pill, some women regret their choice and want to reverse it. That's where abortion pill reversal comes in.

Using the natural hormone progesterone, medical professionals have been able to save 64-68% of pregnancies through abortion pill reversal. [1]

There is hope and help available for those who change their minds and want to continue a pregnancy. Call the APR helpline 877-558-0333 or visit their website.

An on-call Healthcare Professional will ask you some basic questions to see if a reversal is possible.

A: Time is of the essence. For those seeking to reverse the effects of the abortion pill (also known as a chemical abortion or a medical abortion), the goal is to start the protocol within 24 hours of taking the first abortion pill, mifepristone, or RU-486. However, there have been many successful reversals when treatment was started within 72 hours of taking the first abortion pill.

Even if 72 hours have passed, call the APR hotline at 877-558-0333. It may not be too late.

A: Initial studies of APR have shown that APR has a 64-68% success rate. Without the APR treatment, mifepristone may fail to abort the pregnancy on its own. In other words, your pregnancy may continue even without APR if you decide not to take misoprostol, the second abortion drug likely prescribed or provided to you when you took mifepristone. APR has been shown to increase the chances of allowing the pregnancy to continue.

However, the outcome of your particular reversal attempt cannot be guaranteed.[1]

A: No, it is always your choice to change your mind. Even if you have started the chemical abortion process, reversal may still be a choice for you.

A: Please call 877-558-0333. You may still be pregnant. It may not be too late.

A: No, they are different.

The “morning after pill” is marketed as an emergency contraception method. It may prevent ovulation, prevent fertilization, or possibly prevent implantation of the young human embryo into the lining of the uterus. The abortion pill, mifepristone, is taken up to 70 days (10 weeks) into a pregnancy with the intention of causing an abortion.

A: We do not provide or refer for abortions. We do not profit from any of your sexual health or pregnancy decisions.
