What Does This Process Look Like?
The abortion pill, often referred to as medication abortion, typically involves two drugs administered in sequence. The first blocks the hormone progesterone, which is vital for sustaining a pregnancy, and the second causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy.
If you have only taken the first pill, it is still possible to receive life saving care for your pregnancy. By administering progesterone, the effects of the first pill can be reduced and the pregnancy can be saved. It is estimated that 60-68% of pregnancies can be saved by taking progesterone. Progesterone is most effective when taken immediately after the first abortion pill.
