Am I still pregnant

Am looking for advice, I am 16 days past medical termination. Had I carried on my pregnancy I would be 12 weeks on Monday. So I was 9 + 4 at the time I took my first tablet, could it just be taking longer for my hormones to leave my body or could it be I am still pregnant ? I’m so worried

They do advise about this in the leaflets you get in the pack. Can you dig them out?

Also there is a special test which is not like the shop bought ones, I think it must be rest sensitive. Try that? Hope it helps Thanks

Rest sensitive? Meant really Blush

Did the clinic not give you a specific test to take?

I was give a high hcg test to take 14 days after. Had I taken one like this I was told it would still show positive.

I suspect if you’re using a shop-bought test you’ll need to wait a bit longer for a negative result OP

Best thing to do is to ring up the hospital/clinic

The instructions are usually to repeat 3 weeks after I think. Have you bled/ are you still bleeding?

Longer than what? How long did they say that it would take before your hcg is below 5?

I took a pregnancy test what felt like ages after a miscarriage and was still testing positive, so I would imagine it's just taking a while. I would check with your abortion provider if possible.

To be clear- taking a while for your
hormones to settle down.

Hi it was a check4 test which I was sent. I took it day 16 so more then 2 weeks. I only had one test in the pack so won’t be able to retest only a regular test which would obviously show a positive. I just wondered if anyone else had tested positive but it been ok . I will have to ring the clinic I’m just avoiding it at the moment ...

ReallyNeeedHelp · 09/05/2020 18:35

Yeah the check4 test is a higher hpt, sorry you’ll need to call the clinic, I hope it’s nothing !

I had a medical termination a few yrs ago and continued to bleed and kept getting positive pregnancy tests 3 weeks after. Turns out I had retained products.

If you're still bleeding and especially if you start to pass clots then just something to be aware of.

MINEareCRAFTy · 09/05/2020 19:31

@brambley I'm sorry this is happening to you. Not what you need after a difficult time Sad

fuckthisforabarrelofbiscuits · 13/05/2020 07:09

Probably retained products, you need to contact your abortion provider and have a scan

SunnyDays3 · 11/06/2020 08:09

@Brambley how did you get on in the end? Xx
