Understanding Potential Pregnancy Signs After Abortion & Possible False Negatives

Question
hello,
i got an abortion april 8th.. i had unprotected sex one time with my b/f on april 26th.
2 days ago i took a pregnancy test it showed up negative. i forgot to throw it away and when i was about to throw it away today wich is may 5th it showed a faint possitive line..
this seems weird to me. iv been feeling cramping and such like im about to start my period.. could this be a false negative?

Answer
Hi Lisa,

Thanks for your question. I'm not a doctor so please get a medical opinion. I have never heard of a pregnancy test showing negative and then changing to positive. I don't know if that would be reliable. Why don't you get one of the professional pregnancy tests at a local pregnancy center? You can find a place by calling 1-800-395-HELP or go to http://www.optionline.org If you are not in U.S. then go to http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp
Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens.
