Positive Pregnancy Test And Urine Test. Recently Terminated Pregnancy. Repeat Pregnancy Possible?

I had termination just a little over a month ago. Took a pregnancy test about a week ago and it came up positive. Went to hospital, they did a urine test and it came up positive as well. They checked my hcg levels it was at first 135 then took it just over 48 hours later and it went down to 120. Is that a big difference? Is there a change I could be pregnant again? I didn't wait the full two weeks after termination of not having sex. I had sex a week after and continuing and did not bleed after a week. I do have a gyno appointment next week and going to take another hormone level test and getting another ultrasound. Just basically want to know if the levels are much of a difference, if they should've went down more and the chances of being pregnant again.

thanks for your question.

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Falling or static levels of hCG indicate a failing pregnancy. Your next hormone test along with the ultrasound will clear all these doubts.
Please use a reliable birth control if you are not ready for a pregnancy.
Take care.
