Abortion Pill Reversal FAQs & Next Steps

Did You Know?

Over half of abortions in the U.S. are done using medication.1 Some women make this choice in a moment of fear or pressure, and later wish they hadn’t. If that’s where you are right now, abortion pill reversal could give you another option.

  • The abortion pill, also known as a chemical or medical abortion, is a two-step process using medications to end a pregnancy:

     

    • Mifepristone (RU-486): The first pill blocks progesterone, a hormone essential for maintaining pregnancy.

    • Misoprostol: Taken 24-48 hours later, this second medication induces uterine contractions to expel the pregnancy.2

     

    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.
     

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

    Call Alpha Monday–Friday, 10 AM–4 PM at  (386) 384-8088 or the Abortion Pill Reversal hotline at (877) 558-0333 immediately for the best chance of success.

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 immediately.
