Brief Answer:
Please get ultrasound scan
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I understand you might be worried about incomplete abortion.
It takes time of about one and half to 2 months for beta hCG levels to come down. So your pregnancy test is showing positive.
Meanwhile I recommend you see your doctor again to get ultrasound scan done to confirm that there are no remaining products from abortion
