Q: still pregnant after abortion ?

asked by: Chipper on May 19th, 2008

I had an abortion on May 14, I was 17 days pregnant. They said that if I didn't hear from them that was a good sign. They just called and I have to go in immediately tomorrow morning for more blood work, because the blood work from that day came back that I still might be pregnant.

Has anyone ever experienced this? Of course, now I am in a panic and don't know what to think.

Did you have a medical abortion? Medical abortions aren't as effective as surgical from what I understand, and it's possible that there is still some fetal tissue in there.
