Brief Answer:
It becomes negative in two weeks.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to HCM,

I can understand your concern,

In abortion(with drugs),pregnancy test becomes negative after 2weeks.so you do no worry about positive pregnancy test.

Sometimes, pregnancy test are still positive 3 or 4 weeks after the abortion, because the hormone(Beta-hcg) are still in the blood. The other way to make sure whether you are still pregnant or not is to have an ultrasound.ultrasound also helps you to confirm that abortion is complete or not.I advise you to go for ultrasound on 13-14days.

If that is not possible, I advise you to repeat the pregnancy test after one or two weeks.

Hope this helps.

feel free to ask further.

thanks.

Brief Answer:
confirm by physical examination or ultrasound.

Detailed Answer:
The abortion can be confirmed by:
1. Physically observing the the products of conception as they pass out. You will see the fetus in sac.
2. Ultrasound examination.


If bleeding is continued and pregnancy test is coming positive,I will advise you to go for ultrasound to rule out retained products.

In case of minimal products, you can take misoprostol (under your gynecologist supervision). There is no need to repeat full unwanted kit again.

If the products are still not expelled completely, surgical evacuation by a trained gynecologist would be needed.

Hope this answers your query.

Take care.
Thanks.
