Taking Progesterone After the Abortion Pill

If you’ve taken the first abortion pill and regret it, it’s your choice to try to continue the abortion or not. Reversal is possible if treatment is started right away.

Here’s What You Need to Know

If you’ve started a medication abortion and are second-guessing it, you’re not alone. Thousands of women have been where you are, uncertain, scared, and wondering if it’s too late to change their minds. Women all over the US have been able to continue their pregnancies and have perfectly healthy children. 

It’s Just Progesterone

The Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) protocol is a simple medical solution using something your body already makes: progesterone. Progesterone is the hormone that supports and sustains a healthy pregnancy and helps a baby grow.

How It Works

The first abortion pill is Mifepristone, which blocks progesterone, the hormone your body naturally creates and needs to stay pregnant. Without it, the baby does not have what it needs to survive. (The second pill is Misoprostol, which causes contractions and bleeding to expel the baby.)

 

If a woman wants to try and stop the abortion, doctors just have to prescribe additional Progesterone. 

 

If you’ve taken only the first pill (Mifepristone), there may still be time to reverse its effects, but it's crucial to act swiftly; every minute counts in this critical window of opportunity.

 

Progesterone therapy floods your system with the natural hormone that Mifepristone blocks. In many cases, it’s been effective in saving pregnancies when started within 24–72 hours after the first pill.

Is It Safe?

Yes, it's safe. Progesterone has been used for decades to support women with high-risk pregnancies. It’s the same hormone OB-GYNs prescribe to women who have a history of miscarriage or fertility issues.

 

This (Progesterone) isn’t experimental. It’s not a gimmick. It’s simply giving your body the hormone it needs to support your pregnancy.
