Why Does A Pregnancy Test Show A Positive Result After An Abortion Procedure?

I had a abortion (tablets) at 7 weeks 5 weeks and two days ago. 2 weeks after the abortion a scan shown retained tissue. I received more tablets to take and I bleed for a week lightly I’ve taken a pregnancy test today and it’s says I’m pregnant 1 -2 weeks along. Is this a new pregnancy or are my hormones levels still high

Hi,

If your uterus is empty then you need not worry.

Need to correlate with beta hCG hormone.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

You need to repeat the scan to confirm that uterus is empty. If not a D&C may be required.
