Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
A pregnancy test can be positive for upto 4 - 6 weeks after an abortion.
It is not reliable to test if the abortion was complete or not.
The only reliable way to check for completion of pregnancy is to have a transvaginal ultrasound scan.
That will tell you if the uterine cavity is empty or not.
All the best
Take care.
