Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thanks for your query.
Tow positive test (3rd test is positive even thought the second strip is light) and one negative even thought you have used emergency contraceptive pill ,show that you are pregnant.
But to be more safe you can do blood test for BhCG.
There are tow types of blood pregnancy test, one qualitative and one quantitative.
The most "accurate" pregnancy test is the quantitative blood pregnancy test, as it determines the exact amount of hCG in your blood.
This will allow you to make a very clear determination .
You should be careful after using postinor 2 so often.
The emergency contraception (Postinor 2) only gives you a 75 per cent chance in preventing an unwanted pregnancy. This is not good enough to consider using it on a regular basis. In addition, the need to frequently use the emergency contraception suggests that you are not practising safe sex.
If you have to take Postinor 2 more than three times in one month then you should seriously consider using a regular contraceptive method such as the oral contraceptive pills, injection, implant, patch, condoms (male or female) or the intrauterine contraceptive device.

Okay. Want is the procedure for clinical abortion? Is it better than taking a pill?
Brief Answer:
Both two methods are safe
Detailed Answer:
Hello !
Thanks for your query.
There are a number of different methods of abortion.
The method recommended for you will depend on how many weeks pregnant you are.
This is usually calculated by counting the number of weeks from the first day of your last period.
1.Early medical abortion (up to nine weeks of pregnancy)
An early medical abortion involves taking two different medicines 48 hours apart. The effect of the medication will be similar to an early natural miscarriage.Success rate of 92-97%, may decrease as length of pregnancy increases.
2.Vacuum aspiration, or suction termination, is a procedure that uses gentle suction to remove the foetus from the womb. The procedure usually takes 5-10 minutes and can be carried out under a local anaesthetic (where the area is numbed) or general anaesthetic (where you are put to sleep).Success rate is 100%.After having a vacuum aspiration abortion, you will usually be able to go home the same day.
You can choose one of them ,but after calculating your gestational age (by using
your LMP or TVS) and doing a TVS to determine that your pregnancy is intrauterine.
