In my opinion, pregnancy is unlikely as abortion has already taken place. What happens is that the hormone levels in the body are raised to support pregnancy, and these very hormones help with detection of pregnancy. As abortion has taken place, the body still needs some time to understand that pregnancy no longer exists and once that happens the hormone levels start dropping and the pregnancy tests will return negative results.
