Frequently Asked Questions

The goal is to start the countering treatment within the first 24 hours of taking the abortion pill, mifepristone, known as RU-486. There have been many successful procedures when treatment was started within 72 hours of taking the abortion pill. Even if 72 hours have passed, call the hotline (877) 558-0333. It may save your baby.
No, it is your choice to change your mind.
No, many women who have experienced cramping or spotting have successfully reversed the abortion pill.
The second medication is called misoprostol or Cytotec. Its purpose is to cause the uterus to contract and expel the baby. If you want to try to reverse the abortion, do not take the second pill.

The on-call nurse will ask some basic questions to see if the procedure is possible.
The nurse will then connect you with a doctor or medical provider in your area to start treatment.
An ultrasound is performed as soon as possible to confirm if your baby is still alive. The medical provider will prescribe progesterone, which will be given by injection in the gluteus (“butt”) muscle, by mouth, or by the vagina. The treatment will continue through your 1st trimester of pregnancy.
Progesterone is the natural hormone in a woman’s body that is necessary to nurture and sustain a pregnancy. Mifepristone blocks progesterone’s actions by binding to progesterone receptors in the uterus and the placenta. By giving extra progesterone, we hope to outnumber and outcompete the mifepristone in order to reverse the effects of mifepristone.
Many women have experienced cramping or spotting and still go on to have successful pregnancies. Be sure to let your doctor or medical provider know you are experiencing these symptoms.
Costs of the treatment vary depending on the progesterone used. Many insurance plans cover the treatment. Women who do not have insurance or the financial means to pay for treatment should discuss this with the medical provider. In cases of financial hardship, APR Initiative will work with the medical provider to underwrite progesterone costs. If you can’t afford progesterone treatment, don’t worry, APR Initiative is committed to helping.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) in its Practice Bulletin Number 143, March 2014, states that: “No evidence exists to date of a teratogenic effect of mifepristone.” In other words, it does not appear that mifepristone, RU-486, causes birth defects. Progesterone has been safely used in pregnancy for over 40 years. There is no record of birth defects caused by progesterone. The type of progesterone used for treatment is the same as the progesterone made in a woman’s body. It is sometimes called natural or bioidentical progesterone.
The success rate is about 68%. This means 68% of women who choose the procedure continue the pregnancy and deliver their baby while about 32% lose their babies. If a loss occurs, it is usually within the first two weeks of treatment.
Fatigue or drowsiness.
Heartburn.
Soreness at the injection site, if progesterone is given by injection.
If you are allergic to peanuts, you should not take Promethium capsules or generic progesterone capsules in peanut oil. Be sure to tell your doctor or medical provider you are allergic to peanuts.
Please call the hotline number (877) 558-0333. You may still be pregnant. It may not be too late.
No, they are different. The “morning-after pill” is marketed as an emergency contraception method. The most commonly used preparation contains a high level of progestin and can be taken up to 72 hours after sexual intercourse. New insights into how it works make it clear that it can prevent the implantation of the young human embryo into the lining of the uterus. This is a contra gestational or abortifacient effect, not a contraceptive effect.
The abortion pill, mifepristone, is taken up to seven to nine weeks into a pregnancy with the intention of causing an abortion. It works by blocking progesterone receptors. Progesterone is the necessary hormone that nurtures and supports a pregnancy. The newest morning after pill, Ella is very similar to mifepristone in its action in that it blocks progesterone receptors. It is approved by the FDA for use up to five days after intercourse and also has abortifacient effects.
No. Our organization, Abortion Pill Reversal Initiative, is dedicated to preserving and protecting human life. There is no situation that is so hopeless that ending human life is the only option. We work diligently with girls and women to provide them with the resources they need to continue their pregnancies and deliver healthy babies.
We are here to help support pregnant girls and women and their developing babies. Choosing to bring life into this world by delivering a healthy baby doesn’t mean you have to raise the baby by yourself. Placing your baby for adoption is a difficult and brave decision, and maybe in the best interest of you and your child. We can connect you with couples who are either unable to have children of their own or who are simply looking to provide a child with a loving, stable home. You won’t be left stranded or alone after helping you to reverse the effects of the abortion pill. The Pregnancy Resource Center will be with you through pregnancy and beyond. We care about you.
Call (877) 558-0333. You will be helped right now and we will do everything we can to find the help you need in your particular situation. We promise to help you. That’s why we’re here.
The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, a 7000 -member organization, supports offering abortion pill reversal (APR) to women who regret initiating the abortion pill process, after appropriate informed consent.
