The abortion pill, also called a chemical or medical abortion, is a two-step process that uses medication to end a pregnancy.
First, mifepristone (RU-486) blocks progesterone, a hormone your body needs to support the pregnancy. Then, 24 to 48 hours later, misoprostol is taken to cause the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy.²
More than half of all abortions in the U.S. are chemical abortions. Many women make this decision during a time of pressure or panic, and some later wish they could undo it. If this is you, abortion pill reversal may offer another chance. -

How Does Abortion Pill Reversal Work?
Abortion pill reversal uses progesterone, a vital pregnancy hormone, to counteract mifepristone’s effects and potentially save your pregnancy. It’s most effective within 72 hours of taking the first pill, ideally within 24 hours, with a 64-68% success rate when started promptly.
