Brief Answer:
Can take 6 weeks time
Detailed Answer:
2 weeks after an abortion, the ultrasound scan would tell you if the abortion was complete, and the uterine cavity is currently empty.
Regarding the hormones, it can take up to 6 weeks for those hormones to go back to normal.
The urine test would be positive sometimes even after a month and a half, so do not worry.
Of course, you need to use protection, as you can fall pregnant during this time period.
