Brief Answer:
No need to take primolut

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
HCG levels can stay elevated for about 2 weeks after abortion so are not suggestive of anything.
If ultrasound is clear then no need of any active treatment.
You wil get your periods yourself nothing active needs to be done.
