Shorter wait for abortion confirmation?
NCT ID NCT06893484
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a simple urine pregnancy test taken 2 weeks after a medication abortion can reliably show the abortion is complete, instead of waiting the usual 4 weeks. About 400 people with very early pregnancies (up to 42 days) will take weekly tests and answer symptom surveys. The goal is to make follow-up care faster and easier.
