After abortion, the pregnancy test stick is one dark and one shallow

Abortion is not unfamiliar to many people. Some women have to undergo abortion surgery for various reasons after becoming pregnant. Abortion is very harmful to the female body. Some women also encounter the situation of one dark and one shallow when using the pregnancy test stick after abortion. Generally, this situation is also related to the period before and after abortion, so be careful to distinguish. So why does one dark and one light appear on the pregnancy test stick after an abortion?

1. Hormone changes

After a miscarriage, hormones in the body change rapidly, including human chorionic gonadotropin, which is a hormone that indicates whether you are pregnant. It will drop rapidly after a miscarriage. So, if the human chorionic gonadotropin level has not dropped to normal levels one week after the miscarriage, it may be positive. If you still have vaginal bleeding in this situation, try to get a B-ultrasound to see if it has cleared up.

2. Hormone concentration

As long as the abortion is done to preserve the uterus and the number of abortions does not exceed three times, it will generally not cause infertility. As for pregnancy test sticks, they test the concentration of a hormone in body fluids to determine whether you are pregnant. If the test is just done, the concentration of that component in body fluids will not have decreased yet. So that display is normal. It should return to normal after a while! However, even if we take a step back, it is still a piece of advice that the side effects of abortion are very serious, especially for women's health. Anyone who has had this experience knows that doing so will make your body very weak. In particular, the kidneys will be weaker and the resistance will be weakened. Energy and physical fitness will be affected to varying degrees. Furthermore, from a religious perspective, abortion is also a sin. After all, the child is one’s own flesh and blood, and the cause and effect involved are very complicated.

3. Others

After an abortion, it takes about 20 days for HCG in the body to return to normal. If you test weakly positive with a test strip shortly after an abortion, it may be that the HCG value in your body has not yet returned to normal levels. You can wait a few days and test again.
