Headaches And Tiredness. HPT Shows Faint Positive. Had A Medical Abortion Few Weeks Ago. Pregnant Again?

Had a medical abortion 6 weeks ago. All my symptoms went away up until last week. I started gettint headaches and been really tired. I got on birth control right after and waited more than a week to have unprotected sex. Ive been on the same bc for 6 years and have never had a problem. I got two faint positives yesterday and today. Could this be a new pregnancy, or just the old one?

Hi,
If your medical abortion was supervised by a specialist and the completion of the process was confirmed, then this is another pregnancy. Raised hCG levels are usually seen up to 3-4 weeks after an abortion and are not detected later. Please get a serum beta-hCG titre and a trans-vaginal sonogram and contact your consultant for further suggestions. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health.
