taking progesterone orally doesn't make any sense -- progesterone is metabolized very strongly by the liver. all of the progesterone taken this way will be converted into metabolites within hours of ingestion. there is no way this pill is supported by the science.

I'm honestly afraid to even read the article and find out what "abortion reversal" means. That's just not how the reproductive system works.

basically, the first pill blocks the bodies production of progesterone, which is necessary for pregnancy. the reversal pill is attempting to restore progesterone in the body so pregnancy can continue but in a way that can't possibly work.

I'm in no way advocating for this "abortion reversal" nonsense, but just saying, I take progesterone orally and it does its job pretty damn well..
