Is It Normal To Have Positive Pregnancy Test After Abortion?

I had an abortion on may 17. I had unprotected sex a week later then i took next choice pill the next morning. I stop spotting for A week and then i believed i have my period again. I did have unprotected sex after next choice pill. I took a pregnancy test once a week and it still says positive. I even took a ovulation test and its still positive. Is something wrong with my body or am i really pregnant?? Thanks!!!
