How does abortion pill reversal work?
The first pill of a chemical abortion, mifepristone, blocks the effects of progesterone, a hormone necessary for a pregnancy to thrive. The second pill, misoprostol, expels the fetus.
The abortion pill reversal process involves a prescription for progesterone to counteract the mifepristone. Bioidentical progesterone has been used to safely support healthy pregnancies since the 1950s, receiving FDA approval in 1998.
Women typically need to start the protocol within 24 hours of taking mifepristone for the process to be successful. According to Abortion Pill Rescue Network, there have also been successful reversals when treatment was starting within 72 hours of taking the first abortion pill or after a failed medical abortion.
