Summary

This study will investigate the use of a point of care test in patients who are having an abortion at a gestation of \<6 weeks (known as a very early medical abortion). These patients have pregnancy hormone level checked at Day 0 and Day 7 to see if treatment has worked. The investigators plan to use a point of care test machine to see if it is possible to check pregnancy hormone level earlier than Day 7.
