Common Abortion Pill Reversal FAQs

Did You Know?

More than half of all abortions in the U.S. are done with the abortion pill. Many women make this choice in a moment of pressure or panic and later feel deep regret. If this is where you find yourself, abortion pill reversal may give you a second chance.

  • The abortion pill, also called a chemical or medical abortion, is a two-step process that uses medication to end a pregnancy:

    • Mifepristone (RU-486): The first pill blocks progesterone, the hormone needed to sustain a pregnancy.

    • Misoprostol: Taken 24–48 hours later, this second pill causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy.

    More than half of all abortions in the U.S. are now done this way. Many women make the choice in a moment of pressure or panic and later wish they could undo it. If this is your situation, abortion pill reversal may provide a second chance.

  • The abortion pill reversal process works best when started within 24 hours of taking mifepristone, but it may still be effective up to 72 hours later. For the best chance of success, call the Abortion Pill Reversal hotline right away at (877) 558-0333.

  • Research shows that starting progesterone treatment within 72 hours of taking mifepristone results in a 64–68% success rate for continuing a pregnancy.

  • Yes, abortion pill reversal is legal across the U.S. Progesterone has been safely used for decades to support pregnancies. Research from the National Library of Medicine shows a 64–68% success rate when started promptly, and there are no known added risks of birth defects if the pregnancy continues after mifepristone exposure.

  • Reversal is only possible after the first abortion pill, mifepristone, and before taking the second pill, misoprostol. If both pills have already been taken, the next step is to reach out to a healthcare provider for medical guidance.

  • While beginning within the first 72 hours is the most effective way to reverse the abortion pill process, starting after 3 days doesn't mean it can't still work.

    There is still hope. Reach out.
