I can understand your situation. Usually pregnancy duration is calculated from last menstrual period or doing an Ultrasonography. pregnancy test usually becomes positive atleast 4 wks following LMP and 2 wks after fertilisation.from this calculation and from the information you have provided it can be said that on 26th February when your wife's pregnancy test become positive she has pregnancy duration somewhat between 4 week and 5 weeks 3 says as it was negative on 15th of February. 1st of all an USG has to be done to determine pregnancy duration and then abortion can be tried medically or surgically depending on the pregnancy duration.
