There is an effective process called abortion pill reversal. Contact us and we can talk to you and offer you help.
We know that an unplanned pregnancy can be scary and many women make decisions to abort under pressure. If you are having second thoughts about a medication abortion you already started, please contact us. When administered within 72 hours after taking the first abortion pill, progesterone has been used to safely and effectively counteract the abortion medication and sustain the pregnancy. Progesterone does not cause fetal birth defects, and over 1,000 healthy babies have been born through this reversal process.
Our helpline will connect you with one of our medical professionals who can guide you towards reversing the effects of the abortion pill. We will help you every step of the way. Call now.
