Understanding Pregnancy After Medical Abortion: A Guide

Question
I HAD A MEDICAL ABORTION (MITHEPRISTONE/MISOPROTOL)ON AUGUST 26TH FOR PERSONAL REASONS.

MY HUSBAND AND I WANTED TO HAVE ANOTHER CHILD (WE ALREADY HAVE ONE) SO I DID NOT START TAKING ANY BIRTH CONTROL.  I GOT PREGNANT THIS MONTH (I THINK) AS THE FIRST DAY OF MY LAST MENSTRUAL PERIOD WAS OCTOBER 3RD.  HOWEVER, THE TEST (FIRST RESPONSE EARLY PREGNANCY TEST) DID NOT SHOW POSITIVE UNTIL 4 DAYS PAST MY MISSED PERIOD AND THE TEST LINE WAS REALLY FAINT.   I TOOK ANOTHER ONE THE NEXT TWO DAYS AND BOTH OF THOSE RESULTS WERE ALSO VERY FAINT.

I WAS TOLD THAT THE MITHEPRISTONE/MISOPROTOL REGIMEN WOULD NOT INTERFERE WITH FUTURE PREGNANCIES.  HOWEVER, THEY SAID THAT IT BLOCKED PROGESTERONE AND I AM AFRAID THAT THE MEDICATION MAY STILL BE INTERFERING AND THAT IS THE REASON WHY MY TEST LINES ARE COMING UP VERY FAINT.

COULD YOU PLEASE PROVIDE ME WITH ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU MAY HAVE ON THIS MEDICATIONS EFFECT ON A FUTURE PREGNANCY (2 MONTHS LATER- I DID HAVE A CYCLE FOLLOWING MISCARRIAGE AND ANOTHER CYCLE IN BETWEEN)  ALSO, WHAT ARE THE REASONS THAT MY TEST LINE WOULD KEEP SHOWING UP SO FAINT AS I AM USING THE MOST SENSITIVE TEST OUT THERE?

THANKS,
JESSICA  

Answer
First Response is one of the earliest result tests out there.  It could just be that your not far enough along in the pregnancy for the test to pick up the hormone.  If it is very faint chanced are you ARE pregnant just not far enough along.    The abortion medications normally are out of your system after about a month so that shouldnt be interfering at all anymore.  I would see your doctor just to be on the safeside.  Good Luck
