What Causes Vaginal Spotting And High HCG Level After An Abortion?

Hi I ended my pregnancy on the 12 february as my baby had downs sndrome. I went to the doctors last friday as a pregnancy test was still showing postive and its been a month. I had a blood test which said my hcg levels were 261, and I am waiting to hear the 2nd results to see if they are falling or rising, ie leftover hcg or a new pregnancy. We have been trying to conceive and would like to be pregnant, does this sound likely? LAso I have been spotting for the last week, why could this be?

it could be retention of pregnancy tissue ca using spotting and rising HCG level. i am glad a repeat HCG level was done , you should wait for the results before any decision can be made. A transvagina;l sonogram will help also to determine any intrauterine contents.
