Hi,
Urine pregnancy test remains positive for a few days, even after successful abortion. It may remain positive up to 2 weeks after the abortion, but still, we advise to wait for 4 weeks.
Abortion is considered only unsuccessful if test remains positive even after 4 weeks.
So you should wait, and repeat the test after 2 weeks to be sure about the success of the abortion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
