Posted on Sat, 13 Sep 2014
Question: Hi,
My wife took MT Pill and still the pregnancy is positive. Below are the date details.
last period 13 XXXXXXX .
took MT pill on - 20 July and next pill on 22 July. Bleeding started and ended on 07 August.
As per the Doc she was expected to get her periods around 20 AUGUST.But, she didn't.
She took an pregnancy strip test on 19 August and it was positive.
I Know the pregnancy test was positive may be because of few HCG hormone. But want to consult if this is true and why she is not getting her periods and when she will get ?

Please advise.

Brief Answer:
ultrasound required

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir thanks for trusting health care magic.
This positive pregnancy test is due to previous pregnancy and she will probably start her periods in some days from now.
It is common to have deranged periods after abortion so don't expect them to come on desired regular basis.
This positive HCG test is most probably due to the previous pregnancy.
In my opinion you should get an ultrasound done for her so as to see for any remains of products of conception.
You can discuss the report with me anytime 24×7.
All the best

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.

I got her ultrasound done on 11 August and it shows nothing .. all clear.I'm concerned still after the complete abortion report, she got that pregnancy test as positive. Is this a concern?

When I can expect her next periods. Please advise.

Brief Answer:
nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
That's good that you have got a clear ultrasound report.
There is nothing to worry and just wait for periods which will come soon within 2-10 days from now.
This positive HCG test is due to previous pregnancy.
Just relax and wait for her periods.
Take care

Okay.
The last question- Is it possible that she can get pregnant in case we had/have sex with in these days . Such as -- we had sex b/w 15 August till she got her periods?

Brief Answer:
yes

Detailed Answer:
Yes there are very low but definite chances of getting pregnant due to the sexual activity you had on 15th August but that pregnancy if at all present will not be able to cause HCG rise to be clinicallying detectable.
Just wait for her periods and relax for the time being.
