Second Thoughts Are More Common Than You May Realize
Some women reconsider their decision after taking mifepristone. You may have felt certain when you took it and feel very differently now. You may still be unsure about what you want, or you may already know that you want to try to continue your pregnancy.
If that is where you are right now, please don’t wait to reach out. Our medical team can promptly determine whether abortion pill reversal may still be an option for you.
What Abortion Pill Reversal Is
Circle of Hope offers Abortion Pill Reversal (APR), which uses progesterone—a hormone naturally produced during pregnancy—in an effort to counter the effects of mifepristone and give the pregnancy a chance to continue.
APR is intended for women who have taken mifepristone but have not yet taken misoprostol, the medication typically taken next in the abortion-pill regimen.
While APR cannot guarantee an outcome, there may still be reason for hope.
Why Timing Matters
While no outcome can be guaranteed, some pregnancies do continue after the first abortion pill. Reaching out as soon as possible gives you the opportunity to speak with our medical director, ask questions, and learn what may still be possible.

Important Medical Information
Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) is not FDA-approved, and its effectiveness has not been established. Research to date cannot determine with certainty whether progesterone increases the likelihood of continuing a pregnancy after mifepristone.
Because the available evidence remains limited, it is not possible to predict or guarantee what will happen in any individual situation. We believe you deserve to understand both what is known and what remains uncertain so you can make the decision that is right for you.
Reach Out Now
If you are having second thoughts, please do not wait. We will respond with care, protect your privacy, and help you understand what options may still be available.
Clear Answers to Common Questions
No. Abortion pill reversal is intended only after mifepristone has been taken and before misoprostol is used. Once misoprostol has been taken, abortion pill reversal is generally not considered an option.
Bleeding or cramping may occur after taking mifepristone. However, bleeding does not always mean the pregnancy has ended.
If you have taken mifepristone and are reconsidering your decision, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
If you experience heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, fever, fainting, or any other concerning symptoms, seek emergency medical care right away.
Progesterone has been used in pregnancy for many years for certain medical indications and is generally considered safe when prescribed appropriately.
However, abortion pill reversal has not been established as standard medical care, and professional medical organizations differ in their views regarding its effectiveness and the strength of the available evidence.
Your healthcare provider can explain the known benefits, possible risks, uncertainties, and whether treatment may be appropriate for your situation.
Current evidence has not shown that progesterone increases the risk of birth defects. Mifepristone alone has also not been shown to increase the risk of birth defects if the pregnancy continues.
Your healthcare provider can explain what is currently known, what remains uncertain, and what follow-up may be recommended during pregnancy.
