Brief Answer:
A pregnancy test or ultrasound will clarify things to you.

Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic. I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
Was your abortion a medically induced one or a surgical induced one?
There are three possibilities in your case:
1. Probably you are pregnant again after the abortion
2. If you had taken tablets for abortion, it is possible that you did not abort and continued with the pregnancy.
3. The symptoms you are having can be seen premenstrually too. You just had one day light bleeding. You may start your periods shortly.
A pregnancy test or ultrasound will clarify things for you.
I hope this is helpful. If you have further concerns, I will be happy to answer.
Bedt wishes,
Dr Rama

Brief Answer:
You probably have urinary tract infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
From the symptoms that you have written, you seem to have urinary tract infection. Nausea, headache can be due to this infection. Consult doctor and get a urine culture sensitivity test done, so that appropriate antibiotics can be prescribed.
I also suggest you to get a pregnancy test done.
If you have further queries, do write to me.

Okay so I had a urine test and it came out positive.. but I haven't been with anyone unprotected. And wouldn't the signs be showing by now?! I am scheduled for an ultrasound.. what are the chances that the results will come out positive.?!after ten weeks.. oh and of late, i feel completely fine. U have no nausea.no vomiting. No fatigue. Just back to normal.. apart from the positive urine test.. what could be going on..
The signs am talking about are the pregnancy.. like my stomach would be bigger now.. or my breast hurting n bigger.. oh I don't know any of that

Brief Answer:
After abortion the HCG levels return to normal in 4-6 weeks time
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
After abortion the HCG levels return to normal in 4-6 weeks time. The pregnancy test to remain positive even after 10 weeks is extremely rare.
This could still be a new pregnancy ( though you do not have the symptoms).
Ultrasound will clarify things. If the ultrasound does not show new pregnancy , then you need to do quantitative HCG level test.
If you further queries, do write to me.
