The abortion pill, often called a medication or chemical abortion, isn’t a simple fix. It’s a two-step process: the first pill (mifepristone) blocks the hormone progesterone, which your pregnancy needs to continue, and the second (misoprostol) causes your body to expel the pre-born fetus. This can happen at home, often with heavy bleeding, cramping, and emotional weight you might not expect. Studies show risks like incomplete abortion—where fetal tissue remains, requiring surgery—or severe bleeding, and some women later share feelings of regret or isolation. But here’s the hope: if you’ve only taken the first pill and are rethinking this, abortion pill reversal might still save your baby. It’s a protocol using progesterone, and it’s worked for many women—call us at 715-425-8539 or the hotline at 1-877-558-0333 to talk it through.
