QuestionHi there
If a girl has an abortion (using the medical choice) and she has all the symptoms after e.g. Heavy Bleeding, stomach pains etc. If after 3 weeks she takes a pregnancy test and it shows she is still pregnant is it possible that she just still has pregnancy hormones inside her or can she actually still be pregnant even though all the symptoms and stages of the process have occurred when they should????
AnswerHi Amhib,
the pregtest stays positive till 3-4 weeks after an abortion.
If she had all the symptoms that the abortion was succesfull, she is not pregnant
if she has not had unprotected sex in the meantime.
There can be an ovulation as soon as 10 days after the abortion.
So she should use safe contraception if she does not want a baby.
Just patience will help "her".
Bye for now,
Dr Shan
