Abortion Pill Reversal
Changed Your Mind?
If you have taken the first abortion pill, mifepristone, and are now wondering if you want to continue the pregnancy, please contact Circle of Hope immediately. Time is very important, and you may still have options.
Second Thoughts Are More Common Than You May Realize
Some women take mifepristone and then feel regret, fear, sadness, uncertainty, or a strong desire to continue the pregnancy. These emotions can come suddenly and feel overwhelming. Whatever you are feeling, you deserve calm, compassionate care and clear information.
What Abortion Pill Reversal Is
Circle of Hope offers Abortion Pill Reversal (APR). APR uses progesterone, a hormone naturally produced during pregnancy, to help the pregnancy continue after mifepristone has been taken.
APR is intended for women who have taken mifepristone but have not yet taken misoprostol, the medication usually taken next.

Important Medical Information
Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) is not FDA-approved, and its effectiveness has not been established. Current research cannot say with certainty whether progesterone increases the likelihood that a pregnancy will continue after mifepristone. We understand how deeply important this may feel, and we will take time to explain what is known, answer your questions honestly, and support you with compassion. Because every situation is different and the available evidence remains limited, no specific outcome can be guaranteed.
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.
Treatment may include:
- An initial medical evaluation
- An ultrasound, when appropriate
- A review of your medical history
- Progesterone prescribed by a qualified healthcare provider
- Follow-up appointments and ultrasound examinations to monitor the pregnancy
