The urine test is still positive after medical abortion, this is because HCG has not decreased. Generally, if it is during early pregnancy, HCG will decrease. If it is less than two weeks, it will take time for HCG to decrease, a slow process.

However, sometimes a positive HCG level in urine does not mean a positive HCG level in the blood, because the HCG level in the blood is more sensitive.

Medical abortion is already quite harmful to the body, so it is best not to have sex after the procedure to allow the body to recover.
