Summary

This study will examine the feasibility, acceptability and usability of a semi-quantitative urine pregnancy test (dBest One Step hCG Panel Test Kit) for at-home follow-up after early medical abortion using mifepristone+misoprostol. The study seeks to: 1. Assess the feasibility of using this test in lieu of standard one-week clinic-based follow up for determination of complete abortion status as part of normal service delivery. In Mexico, follow up will be in two weeks, as is standard care in that . 2. To determine if women using this test at home understand how to use it and can correctly interpret the results; is it practical. 3. Assess women's and provider's acceptability of using at-home pregnancy tests in lieu of clinic-based follow up for confirmation of complete medical abortion in the future.
