ANSWER: Hi dear Chole,
you really should take better care of yourself.
Sexual intercourse is absolutely unsafe and dangerous within three weeks after your abortion.
A positive test 4 weeks after an abortion tells you that you are still pregnant, or pregnant again, Sorry for the bad news. Please use contraceptives !
bye for now,

QUESTION: ok but when you say could be still pregnant from the last pregnancy would that fetus be deformed in anyway or could that pregnancy continue as i do regret having the abortion.. if it is a new pregnacy why have i bleed on and off then??
AnswerHi again,
yes the fetus could be harmed and all sorts of deformations can devellop.
Bleeding in the young pregnancy could cause abortion again.
Please let everything come to rest and use contraception until everything is normal again. Repeat the test in a month time. Thats all I can advise you.
bests,
dr Shan
