Hi Jacqueline,

I have been reading your posts for the past couple of weeks but I haven't had a chance to post to you myself. I did some research on the internet about problems from medical abortions etc. What you experienced is rather common but very dangerous as well.

Usually after a abortion a pregnancy test will read positive for usually up to six weeks. Now, if there is still fetal tissue inside of the uterus that can also make a pregnancy test positive as well. The pregnancy hormone, "hCG," is made by the blastocyst and embryo and causes that part of the ovary that makes progesterone, necessary for the rich lining of the womb, to continue until the fetal tissue can make its own. So, if there is still hcg in your blood stream which there is because your having a positive test result then I would go to the doctor if the test still shows a positive after four weeks post abortion.

If you still feel bad, I would definitely go to the er again. Having a infection from a abortion can be very serious and even deadly. Also, a doctor would be able to give you a blood test to determine if you are pregnant which would be more accurate. A lot of times women have to have a second surgical abortion also known as D&C because the first abortion failed.

Here is a link to a website that talks about abortion risks: http://www.optionline.org/abortion.html .

Please continue to keep us updated! Your in my prayers.

God Bless,
Lori
