How Successful Is Abortion Pill Reversal in Continuing the Pregnancy?
If you took mifepristone and soon realized you want to continue your pregnancy, you may be searching for a percentage before deciding whether to make a call.
One study reported continued pregnancy rates of approximately 64% to 68% with certain progesterone protocols. That does not mean abortion pill reversal will work in every case, but it does show that the protocol works for some women.
If you want to try to continue your pregnancy, don’t wait for the statistics. Call the Abortion Pill Reversal Network’s 24/7 Helpline at 1-877-558-0333 as soon as possible. They can determine your eligibility and connect you to a nearby provider.
What Reversal Is Trying to Do
A medical abortion generally begins with mifepristone. This drug blocks progesterone, a hormone needed to support an ongoing pregnancy.
Misoprostol, the second abortion drug, is taken afterward and causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy.
Abortion pill reversal uses progesterone after mifepristone in an effort to counter its effects and allow the pregnancy to continue.
It is intended for someone who has started the abortion pill regimen and changed her mind before completing it.
What the 64% to 68% Figure Means
The commonly cited percentage comes from one published study that examined several progesterone regimens.
With certain protocols, researchers reported continued pregnancy rates between approximately 64% and 68%.
That number describes what happened among participants in the study, but it cannot predict what will happen in an individual pregnancy.
Factors such as how much time has passed since mifepristone was taken may affect whether attempting reversal is appropriate. However, if you’re questioning whether there’s still time, it’s best to reach out as soon as possible to get answers and see if you can start APR.
Don’t Assume You’ve Waited Too Long
APR is generally started as soon as possible after mifepristone, often within the first 24 to 48 hours.
If more time has passed, you should still call the 24/7 Helpline rather than deciding on your own that it is too late. A participating medical provider can evaluate your situation and answer any questions you have.
If you have already taken misoprostol, it’s still worth reaching out to explain exactly what you took and when.
