Regret Taking The First Pill?

The first abortion pill — Mifepristone — deprives the body of progesterone, the natural hormone a woman’s body needs to support a pregnancy. By starting the progesterone regimen within the first 72 hours after taking Mifepristone, it is possible to overpower the Mifepristone and save the pregnancy. In fact, studies have shown a 64-68% success rate of continuing the pregnancy.

An ultrasound is performed as soon as possible to confirm the heart rate, position and the date of pregnancy. After confirmation, a medical professional prescribes progesterone to be taken orally, vaginally or even by intramuscular injection. The treatment usually continues throughout the first trimester.
A series of ultrasounds are performed during the treatment phase to confirm the pregnancy is progressing as it should.

Initial studies show the abortion pill reversal has a 64-68% success rate.

No, you have the right to change your mind. Even if you already started the abortion pill process, reversal may still be a choice for you.

These symptoms are common during the reversal process. Do not discontinue taking the progesterone unless directed by the medical professional.

If you experience heavy bleeding, faintness, severe abdominal pain, or fever, seek emergency medical attention immediately. This could be an effect of the mifepristone and would require immediate care. An ultrasound will be performed to confirm the baby is still in the uterus.

Neither mifepristone nor progesterone are associated with birth defects according to The American Academy of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Studies show that babies saved through abortion pill reversal are no more likely to have birth defects than the rest of the general population. In fact, progesterone has been safely used in pregnancies for over 50 years.

No, it is not. The “morning-after pill” is marketed as an emergency contraception method. The most common one uses a high level of progestin and can be taken up to 72 hours after intercourse. It can prevent implantation of the human embryo into the uterus’ lining. It is a contragestational or abortifacient, not a contraceptive.

The abortion pill, mifepristone, is taken up to 70 days (10 weeks) into a pregnancy to intentionally cause an abortion. It blocks the progesterone receptors needed to support a pregnancy.
