WHAT HAPPENS IF I ACCIDENTALLY TAKE AN ABORTION PILL?

A woman's mental health suffers as a result of becoming pregnant and carrying the pregnancy. It's a condition fraught with perplexity, worry, ambiguity, and suffocation. Also, professional concerns, financial difficulties, and other challenges might emerge and magnify the severity of the situation. 

In this modern generation, being a parent is not a quick procedure. Before conceiving, people plan their pregnancy. The idea of taking on the burden of the extended family may cause some anxiety in the would-be parents. All of these traumas might lead to a woman making hasty decisions, such as a medical abortion. However, after a while, she regrets her decision and wants to reverse the procedure. It is not feasible to have a time machine, but medical facilities can assist you in analyzing your circumstances and working to recover your pregnancy.

 HOW DO ABORTION PILLS WORK?

Anti-progesterone medications are used in abortion pills. They interfere with the action of the progesterone hormone. Mifepristone and Misoprostol are two medications included in the MTP kit or Abortion pill package regimen. Mifepristone inhibits the action of progesterone.

Progesterone helps to strengthen the uterine wall lining, allowing the womb to retain the unborn child. When the first medicine, Mifepristone, is taken, its chemical makeup attaches to the Progesterone receptors. The inability to distinguish between Progesterone and Mifepristone results in the blockage of Progesterone's function in the body. As a result, the first stage of pregnancy termination is introduced.

CAN I REVERSE THE FUNCTION OF ABORTION PILLS?

Yes. Mifepristone's function can be reversed. However, it is entirely dependent on the state of your pregnancy, how long you have taken the abortion pill, the duration of your pregnancy if the unborn child's heart is beating, whether spotting has begun after the ingestion of abortion pills, and so on. 

But don't be concerned if any of the aforesaid conditions plague you. Contact your health care providers as soon as possible, or go to the clinic. After doing an ultrasound, your doctor will be able to establish the status of your pregnancy and will very certainly be capable of removing it successfully.

HOW DOES THE REVERSAL PROCESS WORK?

Mifepristone begins the abortion process by connecting to your body's progesterone receptors. This indicates that your body is unable to detect progesterone, causing the uterine lining to deteriorate. 

After assessing the fetus and your health, the doctor may prescribe Progesterone tablets, which you must take with water or meals. They can also provide Progesterone by vaginal injection or injection. It is entirely dependent on your condition and the advice of medical specialists.

WILL THE ABORTION PILL HAVE AN EFFECT ON MY CHILD IF I CONSUME IT ACCIDENTALLY?

No. Mifepristone, according to the research, does not harm the unborn kid. It is the second medication (Misoprostol) that causes uterine contraction and cervix dilation. It also ejects the fetal components as pregnancy termination. If you use Misoprostol, you will not be able to reverse your pregnancy. In the case of Mifepristone, however, reversal is feasible. 

The progesterone that is injected through the vagina, injected, or consumed orally is the same as the progesterone that our bodies produce. As a result, there is no alteration in the composition that keeps the pregnancy intact.

Typically, the reversal treatment will last until your first trimester of pregnancy.

A study was conducted among 754 females who had an abortion reversal after accidentally ingesting Mifepristone. Mifepristone did not damage the unborn infant, according to the findings. The risk of birth abnormalities was the same as or less than that of typical malformations, indicating that abortion reversal after mifepristone ingestion is safe.
