Common Abortion Pill Reversal FAQs

Did You Know?

More than half of all abortions in the U.S. are chemical abortions. Many women make this decision under pressure or panic, only to regret it later. If you’re in this situation, abortion pill reversal may offer a second chance.

• What is the abortion pill?

The abortion pill, also called a medical or chemical abortion, uses two drugs to end a pregnancy:

Mifepristone (RU-486): This first pill blocks progesterone, a hormone your body needs to keep the pregnancy going. Misoprostol: Taken 24 to 48 hours later, this pill causes cramping and bleeding to empty the uterus.

More than half of abortions in the U.S. are done this way. Some women take the pill during a moment of fear or pressure and later wish they hadn’t. If that’s you, abortion pill reversal might give you a second chance.

• How soon do I need to act to reverse the abortion pill?

The process is most effective when started within 24 hours of taking mifepristone, but it can still work up to 72 hours later.

• What is the success rate of abortion pill reversal?

Studies show that abortion pill reversal using progesterone has a 64–68% success rate when started within 72 hours of taking mifepristone.

• Is the abortion pill reversal safe and legal?

Yes, abortion pill reversal is legal in all 50 states. Progesterone has been safely used for decades to support healthy pregnancies. Research from the National Library of Medicine shows a 64–68% success rate when treatment starts soon after taking mifepristone. There’s no known increase in birth defects if the pregnancy continues after taking the first pill.

• What services are included in the abortion pill reversal process?

You’ll get a pregnancy test, an ultrasound, and a prescription for progesterone from our medical director. Follow-up ultrasounds and lab work may be done to check your HCG and progesterone levels. Lifeline Pregnancy Resource Center’s nurses and client advocate team will support you through the process.

• Are there any costs for abortion reversal?

No, you won’t have to pay anything. Lifeline Pregnancy Resource Center covers all costs, including prescriptions and lab work.

• What if I've already taken the second pill (misoprostol)?

Reversal is only possible after the first pill (mifepristone) and before taking misoprostol. If you’ve taken both, contact your healthcare provider for next steps.

How Does Abortion Pill Reversal Work?

Abortion pill reversal uses progesterone, a vital pregnancy hormone, to counteract mifepristone’s effects and potentially save your pregnancy. It’s most effective within 72 hours of taking the first pill, ideally within 24 hours, with a 64-68% success rate when started promptly. Next steps:

• Act Fast: Call us or 877-558-0333 ASAP.
• Consult: Our team connects you to a medical professional.
• Treatment: Progesterone counters mifepristone (oral, vaginal, or injection).
