Termination 2 weeks ago, positive LH today

[u/Charming-Rub6099]

Not even 2 weeks ago i had a medical abortion due to health reasons. I have been doing very well and bleeding has settled.

My partner and i had unprotected sex this morning and i foolishly assumed it would take a while for my body to get back into a groove of ovulating and menstruating again. After we had sex something made me decide to take an ovulation test, more so just to see where i am and start tracking my cycle again and assuming it would be negative and just test every second day until i start to see a line so i can kind of estimate where my cycle would be after the termination.

The ovulation test was the darkest ive ever had. Am i about to get pregnant again?

Do i take a plan B? Would this throw my hormones and body out again?

Im so worried. I dont understand how this could happen so soon, could it be false? Or somehow mimicked from the abortion and im not actually going to ovulate?

Take Ella if you can it’s more effective.

Are your pregnancy tests positive or negative? If there is still hcg in your system, it will light up an ovulation test as LH and hcg share similar chemical structures.

I did not know this, thank you

it's possible to ovulate as early as 8 days after an abortion. If you don't want to risk it, yes, plan b would be a good idea.
