“Abortion pill” is the common name for using two different medicines to end a pregnancy: mifepristone and misoprostol. The process combines two separate pills that are taken within 48 hours of each other during the first 70 days or 10 weeks of pregnancy. Abortion pills are different from the “morning-after pill”, which is taken up to 72 hours after unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy.
While some women are sure of their abortion decisions, many women experience immediate regret upon taking the first abortion pill and desire to stop the medical abortion process. The good news is: there is hope. Through a safe and effective treatment called abortion pill reversal, it’s possible to counteract the effect of the first abortion pill, allowing for a successful pregnancy.
At Two Lines Pregnancy Clinic, we provide abortion pill reversal to women who want to stop the medical abortion process. Read on to learn more about the treatment and its effectiveness.
How Does Abortion Pill Reversal Work?
Two different pillsare involved in the abortion pill process: the first pill blocks progesterone, the hormone in a woman’s body needed to sustain a healthy pregnancy. The second pill is taken a few days after the first andcauses the uterus to contract and, ultimately, expel the pregnancy.
Abortion pill reversal involves taking progesterone, prescribed by a medical provider, as either a pill to be taken orally or vaginally or as an intramuscular injection. Abortion pill reversal is only effective if started after the first abortion pill but before the second, and it’s important to begin as soon as possible after having taken the first abortion pill—ideally within 24 hours.
The goal of increasing progesterone is to counterbalance the effect of mifepristone, the first abortion pill. By increasing the level of progesterone in the woman’s body, we provide her body with what it needs to sustain her pregnancy. Abortion pill reversal treatment will usually continue through the first trimester of pregnancy.
Is Abortion Pill Reversal Effective?
One case study which followed 754 women who wanted to stop their in-progress chemical abortions demonstrated that Abortion Pill Reversal protocol has a 64%-68% success rate in saving a pregnancy. While certainly not a guarantee, abortion pill reversal offers real hope of counteracting the effects of chemical abortion and saving a pregnancy.
As mentioned previously, the ideal timeframe to start the reversal process is within 24 hours of taking the first abortion pill. However, there have been successful abortion pill reversals when treatment was started within 72 hours of the first abortion pill. When it comes to abortion pill reversal’s effectiveness, time is of the essence. If you have taken the first abortion pill and desire to stop the chemical abortion process, call us today. It may not be too late. We’re here for you.
Is Abortion Pill Reversal Safe?
The abortion pill reversal protocol usesnatural progesterone to counter the abortion drug. Progesterone is completely safe and is associated with no known birth defects. It is a naturally occurring hormone in women’s bodies that has been used safely in pregnancy, including to treat recurrent miscarriage and infertility treatments, for over 50 years. Thousands of women have successfully reversed the abortion pill process and saved their pregnancies, leading to happy, healthy babies.
Side effects of the abortion pill reversal process are the normal potential side effects associated with progesterone, which may include sleepiness, lack of energy, lightheadedness, dizziness, gastrointestinal discomfort, and headaches. These symptoms may be relieved by increased fluid intake.
