Is My Girl Still Pregnant?
Posted: 08-18-07 11:39am

My girl was one month pregnant and we used cytotic to terminate it. After one week we went to the lab for a test and we found out that she is still pregnant. Is it true that she is still pregnant?

Not necessarily. It's very common for tests to show positive up to a month or so after termination - it takes time for the pregnancy hormone (hcg) to disappear.

Pregnancy tests stay positive for 3-4 weeks after an abortion.

ONE week is much too early.

SHe would need an ultrasound/sonogram instead of a pregnancy test.

Did she bleed during the termination?
