How long after an abortion can you take a pregnancy test? – Dr. Teena S Thomas

Usually any type of abortion, the medical or surgical in the first trimester we need to wait for 3 weeks after doing the procedure. So after starting the medical abortion or the bleeding starts in medical abortion we need to wait for 21 days or after 21 days the surgical abortion we need to do the urine pregnancy test to see that the HCG levels have come down. Before that it may still be showing positive.
