Well it sounds like your surest answer will come from your next visit with your doctor/nurse, hopefully on Monday. Speculation is only that until then. It's most likely the residual hormones. It takes the body awhile to believe it's not pregnant anymore.

But a retained pregnancy after an abortion is not unheard of, either.

About the unprotected sex thing, don't worry; we won't beat you up over that. It's your life and your choices. It might be helpful for you to be aware, though, that statistically a LOT of women get pregnant again within 6 mos of having an abortion. I believe a lot of this works subconsciously, hence the otherwise normally smart women not using protection again, etc.

Are you still running any fever?
