How long after the abortion will the pregnancy test show a positive result?
The home pregnancy test can take as long as six weeks to turn negative because the hormone levels take a while to drop below the lowest detectable limits (which is 25 mIU/ml for most OTC tests). This does not necessarily mean that you are still pregnant. The doctor will let you know immediately of the result of the procedure and you will be scheduled for a free follow-up exam for three weeks. Please keep this important appointment.
