If you’ve started a medical abortion and suddenly feel unsure, you may wonder if it’s possible to continue your pregnancy. Fear, panic, and confusion are normal responses in this situation, but hope and help are available.

At Heart to Heart, we are a licensed medical facility staffed with registered nurses who can answer your questions and connect you to resources. All of our services are no-cost and completely confidential, and we can provide referrals for abortion pill reversal (APR). 

If you are considering reversal, contact the Abortion Pill Rescue Network immediately at 1-877-558-0333. Their helpline is available 24/7 to connect you with a provider near you.

Acting Quickly Matters

The abortion pill process typically begins with mifepristone, which blocks the hormone progesterone that your body needs to maintain a pregnancy. APR works by giving a high dose of progesterone to counteract mifepristone’s effects.

Research shows that when treatment begins within the first 24–72 hours after taking mifepristone, many women, about 64–68%, have been able to continue their pregnancies. Because timing is critical, contacting the Abortion Pill Rescue Network as soon as possible is your most important first step.

Understanding the Process

Progesterone has been safely used for decades to support early pregnancies, and studies show no increased risk of birth defects beyond the general population. If you begin APR, a medical provider will explain what to expect, review potential side effects, and monitor your health.

While outcomes can vary, starting treatment early greatly increases the chances of success. Even if you’re unsure whether you qualify or how much time has passed, it’s still worth making the call to learn your options.

Support at Heart to Heart

You do not need to face this alone. Whether you’ve just taken the first abortion drug or seek clarity, Heart to Heart will help you understand every option.

If you have taken mifepristone and want to try to continue your pregnancy, time is critical. Call the Abortion Pill Rescue Network at 1-877-558-0333 right away to be connected to a local provider.
