Hi,

It is difficult to say with certainty whether you are pregnant again or if the positive pregnancy tests and light bleeding are a result of leftover hormones from the previous pregnancy. However, it is possible to become pregnant soon after having an abortion, as ovulation can occur as soon as two weeks after the procedure.

It is recommended that you take precautions to prevent pregnancy until you are ready to conceive again. This can include using contraception, such as birth control pills or condoms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Diwashish Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
