Some women regret taking the first dose of the abortion pill (mifepristone/mifeprex). This time can be filled with fear and anxiety, and they question whether they can continue their pregnancy.
RealOptions Obria Medical Clinics provides abortion pill reversal. Timing is crucial; call the 24/7 helpline at 877.558.0333. We are here to help.
What is APR?
Abortion pill reversal (APR) uses a bioidentical progesterone to counteract the effects of mifepristone. It’s critical to understand how mifepristone works when considering this protocol.
Mifepristone is the first drug used during a medical abortion. It blocks progesterone, a hormone needed for the pregnancy’s growth and development. Without this hormone, the pregnancy detaches from the uterine lining and ends.
With APR, a provider prescribes progesterone to be administered by a registered nurse through injection or oral capsules. This is done in an effort to “outcompete” the effects of mifepristone and may help a woman continue her pregnancy.
RealOptions Obria Medical Clinics does not treat for APR once misoprostol has been taken. This drug induces uterine contractions that expel the pregnancy and related tissue from the body.
If you have taken both mifepristone and misoprostol and want to attempt APR, please call the 24/7 helpline at 877.558.0333 to get connected with a provider that may be able to assist you.
When is the Best Time to Begin Treatment?
APR is most effective when started within 72 hours of taking mifepristone. However, it may work after this time frame.
Progesterone has been used for over 50 years to support pregnancies and decrease the risk of miscarriage. Temporary side effects may include but are not limited to:
- Dizziness
- Spotting or light bleeding
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
One study from 2018 by Dr. George Delgado found that the administration of progesterone treatment after taking mifepristone assisted the continuation of pregnancy with a 64-68% success rate.
Considering APR is not guaranteed to be effective, it is essential to discuss your specific situation with a medical professional as soon as possible to ensure treatment can begin without delay.
