It May Not Be Too Late to Save a Life

Have you ever changed your mind about something and wished you could undo what you had done? Did you ever wish you could pull back words out of the air and put them back into your mouth? Did you ever desire to undo the knots and tangles you have placed on your personal relationships?

Many women today find themselves in life and death situations, hoping that they can reverse the effects of the abortion pill, mifepristone, also known as RU-486. These are women who have started the medical abortion process and wish to stop it in order to save the lives of their unborn babies.

The medical abortion process uses two drugs, mifepristone which kills the unborn baby and misoprostol (Cytotec) which is taken 24-48 hours later and causes the uterus to contract to expel the remains of the baby. Reversal is possible if the second drug, misoprostol, is not taken.

Now, there is hope for these women. Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) has helped about 200 women successfully reverse the effects of mifepristone.  About 110 healthy babies have been born, with the remainder safe and sound, developing in their mothers’ wombs.

Progesterone is a hormone that is essential to maintaining a healthy uterine environment for an unborn baby. Mifepristone works as a progesterone receptor blocker, thus negating all the healthy effects of progesterone.

Think of a hormone as a key that turns a lock and allows a door to open. The opening of the door represents the hormone effect in a cell. Mifepristone, being a receptor blocker is like a false key. It fits into the lock but does not turn the lock to open the door; thus, there is no hormone effect while the mifepristone sits in the receptor.

Imagine, now, that instead of just one true key and one false key, you have multiple true keys outnumbering the false keys. That would give the good guys an advantage in the competition to enter the lock. The more times the good keys enter the lock, the better the chances of defeating the false keys.

Progesterone, the hormone of pregnancy, is the true key that we administer to outcompete the mifepristone, the false key. Since it is the natural hormone of pregnancy, it is very safe. There are no known birth defects associated with the use of progesterone in pregnancy, according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Speaking of birth defects, people often ask if an unborn baby who is exposed to mifepristone might have a risk of birth defects. Fortunately, the medical literature does not suggest that there is an increased birth defects risk with mifepristone. In March 2014, the American College of Obstetrician Gynecologists (ACOG) released a practice bulletin that states that no evidence exists that mifepristone causes birth defects.

A women considering reversing the medical abortion finds us on the web at abortionpillreversal.com. After reading some introductory material, if she is still interested, she calls our 24/7 hotline and speaks to a specially-trained nurse who can answer all her questions.

If the woman would like to proceed with a reversal, the nurse puts her in contact with a qualified physician in her area. The doctor takes it from there, administering or prescribing the progesterone to counteract the mifepristone.

Dr. Mary Davenport and I have published the first article in the peer-reviewed medical literature in The Annals of Pharmacotherapy detailing a case series of reversals. Along with Dr. Matthew Harrison, the associate medical director of APR,we are currently preparing two new articles regarding mifepristone and its reversal.
