Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
The pregnancy test will remain positive for quite some days after an abortion or delivery because it takes some time for the pregnancy hormone levels in the blood and urine to drop. So pregnancy test is not a reliable test to ensure completeness of an a abortion. Please take an ultrasound scan of pelvis to ensure it.
With best wishes
