It is common to have a positive pregnancy test for up to 4 to 6 weeks after a medical abortion because pregnancy hormones take time to leave your body. Your symptoms like cramping and back pain could be side effects of the levonorgestrel emergency contraceptive, normal recovery, or signs of an incomplete abortion. While a new pregnancy is less likely after emergency contraception, it remains a possibility. To know for sure and ensure your health, a pelvic ultrasound scan is highly recommended. Please visit your doctor or gynecologist soon for an evaluation and to confirm that the termination is complete.
