Positive test 3 weeks after medical abortion

Hi everyone 💗 I had a medical termination at home 3 weeks ago. I took the pregnancy test that was provided to me by the clinic and it came out positive (faint line). I then took 2 normal tests and they came out positive too (picture attached). I did bleed a lot and passed a few clots, still spotting on and off even now.

I’m so scared that the abortion hasn’t worked, I contacted BPAS, who subsequently just told me to retest again in a weeks time. Just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar?

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated 💗

@ArtfulMintBalonz yeah definitely, I’ve read so many posts where there has been complications or hasn’t worked 😔 just added stress that’s not needed. I hope the procedure goes ok for you, at least it will be over and done with. Just hoping mine has actually worked this time. Xx
