A member asked:

Took a pregnancy test came up positive but very faint an i had an abortion 3 weeks ago what does this mean thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It takes a while: Depending on how far along your were when you had the abortion. It can take 3 or 4 weeks for the HCG levels to become negative. Recheck in one more week. If still positive have a quantitative level drawn.
