False Positive Pregnancy Test After Medical Abortion: What to Do?


Question
I had a medical abortion about 4 weeks ago. I was aware that I was supposed to return after 2 weeks for am exam to make sure everything went as planned, unfortunately my very religious family found out about it cause the clinic decided to call my house and not the contact number I put down. They have been carefully watching me to make sure I do not return to the clinic. I purchased a pregnancy test to double check. The result was negative. My question is, is it possible for me to still be pregnant and have a false reading? I bled for about 5 days after and have not gotten a period or spotting since. I no longer feel or see any of the symptoms I had when I knew I was. I know its best for me to even see a doctor at this point, but that's just not an option.

Answer
Can you get away to a pregnancy resource center to get a free pregnancy test there? I don't understand why your family would not want you to get medical help. If they already know that you had the abortion, then why would they not want you to get future care? Do they know that YOU know? Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com so we can talk privately. Oh, and the number for the free pregnancy test is http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. Please email me soon.
