What If I Change My Mind After Taking Mifepristone?
How does the abortion pill work?
The abortion pill, also referred to as a medical abortion, is a combination of two drugs: mifepristone and misoprostol.
Mifepristone (first pill): Blocks progesterone, a natural hormone your body needs to stay pregnant, so the pregnancy ends. Without progesterone, the lining of the uterus starts to thin and break down, which causes the pregnancy to detach from the uterine lining and stop growing.
Misoprostol (second pill): Softens the cervix, causes the uterus to contract, and prepares the body to expel the pregnancy.
In the abortion pill process, mifepristone is taken first, then misoprostol is taken 24-48 hours after mifepristone.
How does Progesterone Treatment work?
Progesterone Treatment involves a large influx of the hormone progesterone to counter the effects of mifepristone. It works to out-compete the first abortion pill, mifepristone (RU-486), which blocks this hormone.
Progesterone is the hormone that sustains and grows the pregnancy. Doctors commonly use Progesterone Treatment in pregnant women to reduce the risk of premature birth and recurrent miscarriages.
The sooner you begin Progesterone Treatment, the more likely it will work successfully. You can only start treatment if you have not yet taken the second pill, misoprostol.
How effective is it?
Progesterone Treatment has a success rate of 64% to 68%.
If you change your mind after taking mifepristone, there is a chance this treatment can reverse the effects of it, if taken in time.
Is it safe? Will it cause birth defects?
Natural progesterone has been used safely to support healthy pregnancies for over 50 years and is completely safe for women.
Studies show no greater chance of birth defects with mifepristone. However, misoprostol is known to cause birth defects.
What are the possible side effects?
Since progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone, side effects are minimal and similar to those commonly experienced during pregnancy.
- Sleepiness
- Lack of energy
- Lightheadedness
- Dizziness
- Gastrointestinal discomfort
- Headaches
When to start Progesterone Treatment?
As soon as possible. You should start treatment within 24 hours of taking the first abortion pill. However, patients who began treatment within 72 hours of taking mifepristone have also experienced successful reversals.
Start the process to stop the effects of the abortion pill by calling the 24/7 hotline. They will connect you to a local medical doctor who can help begin treatment right away.
