What is Abortion Pill Reversal?
The first thing to know is that Abortion Pill Reversal is a medical protocol that has been around for approximately 10 years. It has gained recent momentum due to its success.
Understanding how the abortion pill works may be helpful in understanding APR. The abortion pill, also known as RU486, is a medical abortion. Although referred to by many as an abortion pill singular, it actually consists of two medications that are prescribed by a licensed medical doctor. The abortion pill is administered in pregnancies between 6 and 10 weeks gestation. Several steps are involved:
First, a pill called Mifepristone is taken while at the clinic. This blocks the hormone progesterone that your body naturally produces. This thins the lining of the uterus and stops the growth of the fetus.
One to two days later, the second pill, Misoprostol, is taken. The doctor or nurse will describe when and how to take it. This medicine will cause bleeding and severe cramping in order to expel the pregnancy. It is normal to see large blood clots; identifiable fetal body parts may be visualized. A follow-up appointment is advised to confirm that the abortion was complete.
For those who change their mind after the first abortion pill (but before the second), Abortion Pill Reversal is an option which has been successful in the reversal of many medical abortions. APR is a medical protocol that works to counter the effects of Mifepristone by utilizing progesterone, which is commonly administered to expecting women to reduce the risk of miscarriage.
