Hello,
Pregnancy tests can read positive for a couple of weeks after an abortion. Hence, going for a pregnancy test is not the ideal solution here. The proper thing to do in the current scenario is to see a specialist for a clinical evaluation and go for a trans-vaginal sonogram to look for any retained products of conception two weeks after the abortion. This will let you know if the abortion was done properly and is complete. If you do not wish to get pregnant again in near future, please go for regular form of contraception as repeated abortions harm the fertility. Hope this helps.
