The Good News

How It Works
Can Mifepristone Be Reversed?
A chemical abortion involves the administration of two drugs. Mifepristone, also known as RU-486 or by its brand name Mifeprex, blocks the effects of progesterone — a naturally occurring hormone that rises rapidly in early pregnancy and is necessary for maintenance of the lining of the uterus. Two days after mifepristone is taken, the drug misoprostol (brand name Cytotec) is given, which produces contractions.
Some women experience a change of heart after taking the first of these two drugs. When this happens, it is possible to counter the effect of mifepristone — and so allow the pregnancy to continue — by giving multiple doses of progesterone. Since mifepristone blocks progesterone, the antidote is to provide enough additional progesterone to overwhelm the abortion pill and keep it from blocking the hormonal support necessary for the baby. This work has been recognized and endorsed by several professional groups, including the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians & Gynecologists, although treatment outcome isn’t guaranteed.
Timing is critical
To maximize the likelihood of success, the progesterone regimen should be started within 48 hours after mifepristone has been taken — and definitely before the second drug, misoprostol, has been taken.
Time-sensitive:
Within 24–48 hours
of the first medication — and before the second
But action must be taken quickly. Time is of the essence for you to contact the nurse counselors at abortionpillreversal.com as soon as possible.
