Pregnancy test and Abortion. Please help!?

A friend of mine's younger sister Emily just had an abortion. She did the pill method where she went home and did it in the comfort of her own home. Well she passed two large golf ball masses on the past Sunday. After that all her morning sickness and pain went away. Now for the past three days she has had pretty intense pain in the region above the vagina (You know when you cramp). My friend asked Emily if it was cramps but she said she doesnt know what they are because she never had a ruff period before. They have always been light and pain free. She is bleeding lightly. However she just took another prego test and it said she is still pregnant. Well the clinic that she went to asked to see her two weeks after last Sunday to see if she passed everything. Could it be possible that she still has hormones that say she is pregnant in her body? Plus she started the Pill on Monday. What do you think? She says she hasnt had sex since before the abortion. Please no NEGATIVENESS

Answer:
You shouldn't worry about the pregnancy test coming out positive, it takes awhile for the hormones to leave your body completely. You should test positive for a few weeks afterwords even though you aren't pregnant anymore. Of course there is a chance that the abortion wasn't successful, but that is highly unlikely particularly because of the amount of tissue she passed.

Taking ib profen would help with the cramps

Cramping for several days after the abortion is normal. If the cramps are very bad though it would probably be a good idea to call the clinic and see what they say, just to be on the safe side. If it was something serious like a infection she should have other symptoms as well, like a fever. I think everything is probably fine but you could always call the clinic just to be on the safe side.
I would get her to a clinic fast. That could be a sign that she either one has her period which is good or two may have not got everything out which could hurt her. If not everything came out then it could cause a serious infection. Doesnt hurt to know the truth.
My wife had a miscarriage once and though she passed tissue, still had some left in her body that the doctor had to remove. Your friend should definitely go see her OBGYN to check because this can cause scar tissue build up and complictae pregnancy in the future when she is actually ready for a child.

As to the pregnancy test, it could be that she took it too soon after the induced miscarriage, but still the best advice is go see the doctor for a thorough exam.
Yes, it's most likely that her body is retaining some pregnancy hormones indicating a positive pregnancy test. Typically RU-486 is 95-97% effective so her chances are slim that she's still carrying. Bleeding and cramping (in the vaginal/stomach area) usually occurs anywhere from 9 to 16 days after taking the pill. But, I'm a little concerned because her doctor was supposed to let her know how to deal with the pain that was inevitably to come with this option of abortion. If you guys are really that concerned though, take her to a hospital or a clinic that is equipped to check her out. You should have her take a pregnancy test sometime next week and one week after that just to be sure.

Oh, and expect a lot of judgmental pro-lifers to write ignorant crap in response to this as well. Don't get upset - just ignore them and look for someone who actually knows what they're talking about.
I don't juge you or your friend's sister nobody can say what they would do in a situation like this so don't let anyone make you upset or mad just know that they are not you and can't say anything about you or your friends's sister because they don't know you all and if they say anything just tell them 2 kiss off
