What Does Heavy Periods Followed By Positive Pregnancy Test Indicate?

Hi Iam 26 and took the medical abortion pill 3 months ago when I was 8 weeks along. Ive taken pregnancy test since and they all came back negative, so I know it worked right. Well I was a week late for my period so I took a test and was negative and same day started a heavy period that lasted 6 days. I than was feeling sick so I took another test the day my period quit, it was positive. I went and took 4 other test and they were positive too? Am I pregnant even though I had a full period?

Hello madam,I understand your concern.in my opinion there might be incomplete abortion.where in there will be bleeding but still some products will be retained in the uterus due to which the pregnancy test will be positive.I suggest you to consult a gynae and get an ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis.and take apt treatment.
