What Happens During Abortion Pill Reversal?

A chemical abortion typically involves two drugs. The first drug, mifepristone, blocks the hormone progesterone, which is necessary to sustain a pregnancy. The second drug, misoprostol, causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy.

Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) uses progesterone to try to counteract the effects of mifepristone. Progesterone has been safely prescribed for decades to support pregnancies at risk of miscarriage.

Why Time Matters So Much

APR is most effective when started as soon as possible after taking mifepristone—ideally within 24 to 48 hours. The longer mifepristone has to take effect, the less effective APR is.

While there have been cases of success later than this window, the earlier the treatment begins, the greater the chance of saving the pregnancy. Once the second drug, misoprostol, has been taken, reversal is no longer an option.

Is APR Safe and Effective?

Progesterone has a long track record of safe use in pregnancy care. One review demonstrated that the success rate of APR is about 64–68%. 

While no medical treatment’s success is guaranteed, many women have been able to continue healthy pregnancies after beginning the protocol quickly.
