QuestionMy husband and I had an unwanted pregnancy and I had a termination about a month ago. Yesterday, I felt my hormon levels were a little strange and I took a home pregnancy test. The results from the test indicate pregnancy. How likely is it that this is a false-positive???
Thanks,
PS My husband and I seriously need to look into better protection. Condoms aren't cutting it.
AnswerSometimes, when you have a positive pregnancy test after an abortion, it is really from the leftover hormones after the abortion. But I can't tell you that for sure in an email. So it is best to go to a pregnancy resource center in a week or so and get a free test there. To find a location in U.S. go to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. Outside U.S. go to

I don't recommend any hormonal birth control methods because of side effects and risks. Another non-hormonal option besides condoms is Natural Family Planning. See if you can find some information about it and if not, I'll look for a link. You can email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and let me know what happens.
