Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The HCG levels drop down to undetectable levels within two weeks of abortion. Since your pregnancy test has come positive, the chances of pregnancy are there. You can get serum HCG levels re tested after 48 hours.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Rakhi-Tayal
