A member asked:

Is it possible to have an abortion and the test to still read positive?

Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Yes: The pregnancy test could take a couple weeks to become negative after the end of a pregnancy. If it stays positive for more than 3 or 4 weeks there may be a problem and you should see your doctor.
