How long after a miscarriage can the test turn negative?

Patient's question:

Hello, I had a medication abortion on November 13th. On the 29th, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and it came out very clean. There were no abnormalities. But this morning, I used a test strip, and it still showed two red lines. I want to know how long it takes for the test to turn negative after an abortion.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the information you provided, it is generally the case that hormone levels in the body can only return to normal about nineteen days after an abortion procedure. In the situation you described, having just undergone an abortion and it being only four days later, if you use a pregnancy test kit for detection, the result should still be positive. It is recommended that after an abortion, you should eat plenty of nutritious foods to help promote physical recovery. Additionally, you should pay close attention to rest and keep warm.
