If you took mifepristone and now want to try to continue your pregnancy, the quickest way to locate a provider is to contact the Abortion Pill Reversal Network at 1-877-558-0333.
Their Helpline is available 24/7 and can connect you with a medical provider who offers the abortion pill reversal protocol in or near your area.
You don’t need to spend time searching individual clinics first. Call the network as soon as possible, then contact Pathways Pregnancy Resource Center if you would also like someone to speak with while you work through your next steps.
Why Calling Quickly Matters
A medical abortion usually begins with mifepristone, the first abortion drug.
Mifepristone blocks progesterone, a hormone needed to support an ongoing pregnancy. The second drug, misoprostol, causes uterine contractions that expel the pregnancy.
Abortion pill reversal is intended for someone who has taken mifepristone and now wants to try to continue the pregnancy. The protocol uses progesterone in an effort to counter the effects of the first abortion drug.
The Abortion Pill Reversal Network recommends contacting them as soon as possible after taking mifepristone, often within the first 24 to 48 hours.
If more time has passed, call anyway. A provider can determine whether the protocol may still be an option in your circumstances.
What Happens When You Call
You’ll be asked for information such as when you took mifepristone, whether you have taken misoprostol, and where you are located.
The network can then look for a participating provider nearby.
If a provider determines that abortion pill reversal may be appropriate, that medical professional can explain the progesterone protocol, discuss your medical history, and arrange the follow-up needed for your pregnancy.
Abortion pill reversal is not guaranteed to work. One published study reported ongoing pregnancy rates of approximately 64% to 68% with certain progesterone protocols, though individual outcomes vary.
However, the sooner you begin APR, the better your chances of continuing the pregnancy.
If You Already Took the Second Drug
If you have already taken misoprostol, contact a healthcare professional promptly and explain which drugs you took and when. They can offer guidance on the most appropriate next steps.
If you are experiencing severe bleeding, intense pain, fainting, or another medical emergency, seek immediate medical attention.
