Abortion Pill FAQ
What is the abortion pill?
The abortion pill is actually two pills (Mifepristone and Misoprostol) taken in two separate doses. You may also hear it called a medical abortion, chemical abortion, or medication abortion. It can cost anywhere between $400-$800.
How does it work?
The abortion pill is usually taken in early pregnancy (between 4-6 weeks) but has been given up to 70 days after a woman’s last menstrual period. The first pill works to cut off the nutrient supply by inhibiting the natural pregnancy hormone progesterone. The second pill causes cramping, expelling the fetus from the uterus. The abortion pill is not an option for people with certain medical conditions or if the pregnancy occurs outside of the uterus. A follow up is necessary 7-14 days after taking the abortion pill.
Is reversal possible?
Reversal is possible if action is taken after the first dose. Since mifepristone cuts off progesterone, introducing it again has been known to reverse the effects. Progesterone has been used to support pregnancies in danger of miscarriage for decades. If you have recently taken the first dose of mifepristone and decided not to take the second, please contact Abortion Pill Reversal. While the outcome of your particular pregnancy cannot be guaranteed, according to initial studies, the reversal process is 64-68% effective if taken within the first 24-72 hours.*
What if I’m in my second trimester?
At your appointment, Options Care Center can answer all your questions about second-trimester or late term abortion procedures as well as give you information for pregnancy options and resources throughout your pregnancy.
