Feeling Regret After Taking the Abortion Pill? You May Have Options
If you’re navigating the uncertainty of an unexpected pregnancy and regret starting the abortion pill process, you’re not alone. It’s possible to reverse the effects of the abortion pill—but the window of opportunity is small.
More than half of all abortions in the U.S. are chemical abortions, also known as the abortion pill.¹ Many women make this decision during a moment of panic or pressure, only to wish they could undo it.
If you’re in this situation, it’s important to know that you may still have the ability to change course.
Can the Abortion Pill Be Reversed?
The short answer is yes—if you act quickly.
Abortion pill reversal is a medical protocol designed to counteract the effects of the first abortion pill, allowing the pregnancy to continue. Timing is critical; the process is most effective when started within 24 hours of taking mifepristone (the first pill). However, many successful reversals have occurred up to 72 hours after.
If more than 72 hours have passed, don’t lose hope—contact the Abortion Pill Reversal hotline at 877-558-0333 for guidance.

How Does Abortion Pill Reversal Work?
The abortion pill is a two-step process using medications to end a pregnancy
- Mifepristone (RU-486): This first pill blocks progesterone, a hormone essential for maintaining pregnancy.
- Misoprostol: Taken 24-48 hours later, this second medication induces uterine contractions to expel the pregnancy.²
Some women experience regret after taking mifepristone. That’s where abortion pill reversal can help.
Abortion pill reversal involves administering progesterone, a natural hormone essential for pregnancy. By providing additional progesterone, healthcare providers can counteract the effects of mifepristone, giving the pregnancy a chance to continue.
The process is most effective when started promptly—ideally within 72 hours of taking the first abortion pill. Success rates range from 64-68% when treatment begins within this timeframe.³
To get started, contact a medical professional or call the Abortion Pill Rescue Network hotline at 877-558-0333.
Is Abortion Pill Reversal Legal and Effective?
Yes, abortion pill reversal is legal across all U.S. states. Research from the National Library of Medicine indicates that this treatment achieves a 64-68% success rate when initiated promptly.³
This gives many women the opportunity to continue their pregnancies safely and successfully.
