General & Family Physician 's  Response
hello,
Thank you for your query.
Pregnancy hormones take a couple of weeks to get back to non pregnant levels .
The hormone Beta-HCG is what the home pregnancy test measures. Once the pregnancy has been completely terminated, it gradually reduces until it is undetectable. So if you test during this period, it will give you a positive test.

However, medical abortion doesn't always work. In few cases , the pregnancy continues. This can be checked by testing for the beta-HCG levels on two separate days (2 days apart) and see if it is reducing significantly.
Please consult your obgyn if your pregnancy test is positive even after 2 weeks.
Hope this helps. Wish you good health
