If you’ve taken your first dose of the abortion pill and are rethinking your decision, you are not alone.
The first pill, RU-486 or mifepristone, is a drug that blocks a hormone called progesterone that is needed for a pregnancy to continue.
The second set of pills, misoprostol, is taken 24-48 hours after the first pill, to cause cramping that expels the embryo.
The reversal must happen as soon as possible after taking the first abortion pill, within 72 hours or less. The reversal process does not cause birth defects; it simply reintroduces the necessary hormone (progesterone) the pregnancy needs to continue. However, the abortion process cannot be reversed after the second dose of abortion pills has been taken.
If you have taken the second dose of the abortion pill and are in need of care and support, we’re here to help.
Nearly 45% of all pregnancies are unplanned, leaving many women feeling alone and uncertain of her future. By providing a safe environment to be heard and supported, Blue Ridge Women’s Center equips each woman to make an informed decision for her and her family.
