I Regret Taking the Abortion Pill. Is There Anything I Can Do? 

Yes. If you regret taking the first drug in the abortion pill regimen (mifepristone), there is still a chance to continue your pregnancy with Abortion Pill Reversal (APR). 

However, time is of the essence! APR is most effective if started within 24-72 hours of taking mifepristone.

What Is Abortion Pill Reversal? 

Mifepristone ends your pregnancy by blocking progesterone. Without this essential hormone, your uterine lining will loosen and shed, eventually causing your pregnancy to detach. 

However, this doesn’t happen right away, leaving a small window of time for Abortion Pill Reversal to be effective.

Abortion Pill Reversal works by giving your body high levels of progesterone, with the goal of counteracting mifepristone’s anti-progesterone effects.

What About the Second Pill? 

If you’ve taken mifepristone and regret your decision—do not take the second drug in the abortion pill regimen, misoprostol. 

Misoprostol causes uterine contractions. This will expel your pregnancy from your uterus and out through your vagina. 

If you want to continue your pregnancy, beginning APR immediately is essential.
