Retained products of conception/pregnancy

Hello mom's please I need advice..I had an abortion using drugs on the 1st of July. Lumps of blood came out of my body. I bled for a few days and it stopped. I have been hoping to see my period but it's yet to come. Did a home pregnancy test and it came out positive. I went for a trans virginal scan and was told I still have some retained products of conception. Am confused if I am actually pregnant again or it's the residue giving me a false positive.

P.s: I have 3 kids and don't want another abortion. If I am actually pregnant, will keep this baby. I did the abortion because I was scared of another C-section. Had 3 c- section already.

Hi there OP, I believe the pregnancy tests will be showing positive because the retained tissue will be keeping your HCG hormones high. Until all the tissue is gone your body will continue to give positive tests. It's unlikely you're still pregnant. I'm so sorry.
