Answer
It can take 4 weeks for the hormone level to go back to normal.  If you are using the EPT test then it is positive at very low hormone levels.  You can call the facility and get a follow-up.  If you are on an oral contraceptive that can cause nausea.  Also, you could be pregnant again if you have had unprotected intercourse.  You can become fertile as early as 7 days after the medical abortion.
