According to last week's Journal, Dutch researchers found epostane to be 84% effective in women five to eight weeks pregnant.

...pair of remarkable studies, one reported in the journal Nature and the other to be published in Science this week, researchers at the Medical Biology Institute in La Jolla, Calif., and at Stanford University, working separately and using different methods, successfully transplanted elements of the human immune system into mice. The achievement meant that such animals may soon serve as stand-ins for human beings in the study of AIDS and a host of other diseases, including leukemia and hepatitis. The mice could also be used to test drugs that would be unsafe to test in humans and to study...
