Hallow Dear,
In fact in the abortion process, there is bleeding for few days with abdominal pain. This is because the uterus is contracting very hard to expel the products of conception. This helps control the uterine bleeding also.
Urine pregnancy test takes longer to become negative after an abortion - may be a week or more. This is so because that much time is required for the raised hCG titres in the blood to reduce Hence the best way to confirm the completeness of the abortion is to undergo ultrasonography. Please get it done to find out whether any product is still remaining inside the uterine cavity which denotes incomplete abortion. If abortion is incomplete, you will require surgical evacuation of the uterus.
If the abortion is complete, you do not have to worry about the pain in abdomen since it is a protective mechanism of the uterus. However, if the pain is unbearable, you may take some pain killer. This would give you some relief.
Please look for any foul smelling vaginal discharge. Infection after abortion also can cause such discharge associated with bleeding and pain. It can be managed by antibiotics and surgical evacuation if the infection is due to incomplete abortion.
I am sure, this is very helpful to you.
