Why Does The Pregnancy Test Show Positive After Abortion?

5 weeks after abortion and pregnancy test are still positive. beta level was 21,000+ originally. 2 week follow up showed decrease to 8000. it is now three weeks from the last test and a clearblue weeks estimator tests is saying 3+ weeks pregnant which I did some research says that would mean my hgc level is over 2000 at least. could this be a new pregnancy?

if you havent been using any method of contraception then this can be possible.
sometimes it takes 6-8 weeks for body to come back to pre pregnancy state. so i wud suggest you to watch out for another 2 weeks ... if you dont get periods please do visit your gynac and get a ultrasound to check for any retained products of pregnancy. thank you do rate my answer
