What is the abortion pill?
Although it’s referred to as a single pill, medicated abortion consists of two drugs: mifepristone and misoprostol.
Mifepristone
Developing embryos need progesterone. Mifepristone cuts off the supply of progesterone to the embryo. It will take 48 hours to work. Without a supply of progesterone, the embryo stops growing.
Therefore, if you have taken the first pill but would like to reverse course, you can pursue Abortion Pill Reversal. Essentially, you will take progesterone to attempt to reverse the effects of the mifepristone, with a 64-68% success rate. There is no apparent increased rate of birth defects. Call the number 1-877-558-0333. This hotline operates 24/7. You can also visit: https://www.abortionpillreversal.com/
Misoprostol
Misoprostol induces contractions. It is a synthetic prostaglandin that will induce contractions and deliver the fetus. It is common to see blood, blood clots, or pieces of tissue “as large as the size of a lemon” when the abortion pill is working. If you do not see bleeding after taking misoprostol, that means the medication did not work. The Yale medical journal Q&A online adds:
“The cramping and bleeding may be accompanied by chills, nausea, and fever, which are side effects of misoprostol. If nausea, vomiting, fever, or diarrhea persists more than 24 hours after taking the second set of pills, individuals should call their doctor.”
