Understanding Abortion Pill Reversal

What Is APR?

Abortion pill reversal (APR) is a protocol designed to reverse the effects of Mifepristone, the first pill in the medical abortion regimen, and is followed by Progesterone treatment. Progesterone, a natural hormone essential for pregnancy, is administered to counteract Mifepristone’s effects. The process is time-sensitive and most effective within 24 to 72 hours after taking Mifepristone.

Hemorrhaging Myths vs. Facts

One of the primary concerns surrounding APR is the risk of hemorrhage. It’s essential to

understand the medical facts:

1. Safety and Efficacy of ProgesteroneProgesterone has been safely used for decades in pregnancy-related treatments, including for women at risk of miscarriage. Extensive medical studies and real-world applications have demonstrated its safety and efficacy. The claim that APR causes hemorrhaging is unfounded. When administered correctly, Progesterone does not increase the risk of hemorrhage.

2. Understanding Hemorrhage Risks

Hemorrhaging, or heavy bleeding, can occur with any miscarriage or abortion, whether

medical or surgical. However, no evidence suggests that APR specifically increases the

risk of hemorrhage. The natural role of Progesterone is to support and maintain

pregnancy, not to induce bleeding. The medical community, including organizations

like the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians & Gynecologists, supports the

safety of APR.
