Can I Change My Mind After Getting the First Abortion Pill?
Yes! You can change your mind after taking the abortion pill. If you’ve searched “can I undo the abortion pill” or “abortion pill reversal near me,” you’re not alone—and time is critical.
The abortion pill works in two parts:
-
The first pill is a progesterone blocker. It blocks progesterone, the main hormone your body is making to grow the baby and the placenta.
-
The second set of pills is designed to end the pregnancy and induce labor so you deliver the fetus at home.
If you have taken the first pill and are having feelings of regret, and you don’t want to go through with having an abortion, DO NOT TAKE THE SECOND SET OF PILLS! Instead, call the National Abortion Pill Reversal Hotline at
You will go into the center and they will do an ultrasound to make sure the pregnancy is still viable. Then they will give you progesterone through the first trimester, hopefully reversing the effects of the blocker. You will probably do weekly ultrasound appointments to make sure the pregnancy is still progressing.
Abortion Pill Reversal is 54–68% successful, and the quicker you receive the progesterone the better, so time is of the essence! It is critical for the best results that you get progesterone within 72 hours of taking the first pill. If you have taken the second set of pills, you can still try reversal! The success rate is much lower, but you can definitely try.
