Hello,

Firstly, if your wife had an abortion, the same would be shown in the sonogram-an empty uterus. If it is not so, then the pregnancy is continuing. I advice you to get the sonogram for an incomplete abortion or otherwise. Serum hCG levels take time to disappear after an abortion, so, the pregnancy test may remain positive for sometime after an abortion. Please get further suggestions from your doctor. Good luck.
