Is it Too Late to Reverse the Effects of the Abortion Pill?
If you’ve only taken the first medical abortion drug, mifepristone, it might not be too late to reverse the abortion pill. However, time is of the essence, as starting the reversal process as soon as possible can increase the chances of success.
The goal is to start abortion pill reversal within the first 24 hours of taking mifepristone. However, if it’s been over 24-72 hours, you can still contact us for help and guidance. There may still be time.

What to Know About Abortion Pill Reversal
Abortion Pill Reversal Uses the Hormone Progesterone
The first abortion drug, mifepristone, works to end a pregnancy by blocking the natural hormone progesterone. Without it, the pregnancy will end, but not instantly. It takes time for mifepristone to work, leaving a window for abortion pill reversal.
Abortion pill reversal works by adding progesterone into the body to counteract the effects of mifepristone and continue the pregnancy.
Initial Studies Show Success
Initial studies show abortion pill reversal to be 64-68% effective. The timing between when a woman takes mifepristone and when she starts the abortion pill regimen makes a difference. However, we encourage women interested in abortion pill reversal to reach out to see if it could still work even if time has passed.
Women have shared success stories of continuing their pregnancies after abortion pill reversal.
