What Happens After the First Abortion Pill?

A medication abortion typically involves two drugs taken at different times. The first, mifepristone, blocks progesterone, a hormone needed to maintain pregnancy. The second drug, misoprostol, causes the cervix to dilate and the uterus to contract. Cramping and bleeding are expected to follow.

If you’ve taken mifepristone but haven’t taken misoprostol, you may be wondering whether you can continue your pregnancy. The good news is, there may still be a chance.

Abortion pill reversal (APR) is an approach that involves administering progesterone after mifepristone in an attempt to support the continuation of pregnancy.

Why Should You Reach Out Quickly?

If you’re considering abortion pill reversal, time matters because the process is more effective the quicker it is started.

Abortion pill reversal is most likely to be successful when progesterone treatment regimen starts as early as possible and up to 72 hours of taking mifepristone, although we strongly encourage you to reach out even if this time frame has passed.

Research has reported that 64% to 68% of pregnancies continued following progesterone treatment after the first abortion pill with no increase in birth defects. Success is not guaranteed, which is why starting the process quickly is important.
