Author notes
Competing Interests: I have read the journal's policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following
competing interests: Exelgyn donated the pregnancy tests but played no role whatsoever
in the study design, execution, analysis or preparation of this manuscript. K Gemzell-Danielsson
has received honorarium as an advisory board member and/or invited speaker at Exelgyn
and participated in clinical trials conducted by Sun Pharma. This does not alter our
adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
