Question: I had a surgical abortion over 3 weeks ago (3 weeks, 4 days) and I had my follow-up appointment last Friday. In the clinic I took a urine test in the clinic and they said I was no longer pregnant. Their test consisted of them dropping some of my urine onto a plate that swirled. Today I have been having these quick, shooting, sharp pains in my vagina opening area. It is alarming and I have been searching my symptoms online and a lot of the results seem to say that this happens a lot during pregnancy. I have still been feeling some minor pain in my pelvic area..but I just assume it is still healing?
So I have a few questions...1. is it possible that the test at the clinic could be wrong? (I would still be pregnant) 2. Could this be some type of infection or is it just part of the normal healing process? 3. If I had an ectopic pregnancy, would the doctors pregnancy test be negative?

So do you know what type of pregnancy test I am referring to? It was not the drug store kind but it was a higher technology. The nurse said it is very accurate. However, can it still be a false negative?
