What Causes High HCG Levels After Having An Abortion?

Hello, I took an abortion pill 7weeks ago. Out of frustration and guilt my husband and i had unprotected sex a week after my abortion, but he did noejaculate inside of me, buthe did not clean it off after we were finished. i felt a little pressured having the abortion in the first place, but i did it bc it felt like the smart thing to do for a brighter future for myself financially. I started to spot last week bbrownish discharge, i was sure it was implantation blood only because i did not get a period at any point after taking the pill; but i was also sure that i could be tricking myself. a few days later i started to bleedheavily and i figured it was a period, so i went to the doctor and took a blood and urine everything came back positive, but my hcg level was 128, and my husband and i feel as if this coud be a new pregnancy ... which is what we want. I would like to know what your outlook is about this. Do you tthink this is a new pregnancy or just my left over hormones?

Hi.

No in my opinion, because the body takes some time to return back to the pre-partum state, and your hCG levels are just gradually dropping after the abortion.

I am sorry your first pregnancy had to end the way it did, but what is important is that you are both repenting, and this is a sign from God showing you both are probably ready to be parents, so I really wish you both luck from the bottom of my heart.

Say no to abortions, if they were widespread, probably you and I wouldn't be here.

Best wishes.
