Can your body still think it is pregnant and produce a positive result on a pregnancy test even if you had an abortion less than two weeks ago?
I found it on a Planned Parenthood Page. :)
How accurate are pregnancy tests after abortion?
The pregnancy hormone, HCG (human chorionic gonadatropin), can remain in the body for up to 60 days after an abortion. Similarly, HCG levels can be measurable for weeks after childbirth. This can lead to pregnancy tests with false positive results.
Women who are concerned about the accuracy of pregnancy tests during the weeks after abortion may want to take a few tests a few days apart. That can help them see if the levels of HCG are increasing or decreasing. Women who use home pregnancy tests and who are still concerned that pregnancy is continuing or another pregnancy has occurred can consult their clinicians to test for the precise levels of HCG. After at least two tests, the clinician will be able to tell whether the HCG is rising � a continuing or new pregnancy � or whether it is falling � no pregnancy.

Pregnancy tests aren't 100% accurate. Some brands will show a positive reading after 10 mins even if you aren't, so it is important to always read the test when the instructions for the test say to. I don't trust pregnancy tests now as I did 6 pregnancy test and only one showed a positive result, even the test at the dr showed negative and after doing 2 bloodtests over 2 days did i know that i was in fact pregnant and yet i was 6 wks.Pregnancy tests test the pregnancy hormone level in your urine. It is very important to look at the instructions on the box, and read the test when it says to read it.For some women, they don't produce enough hormone for the test to register that they are in fact pregnant. A false positive is a very rare occurrence, however.Chances are, if you got a positive, then yes, you're probably pregnant.

Ovarian cycts have absolutely no affect on pregnancy test. The test is simply measuring your HCG Titers, which is your hormone levels. When you are not pregnant this measurement is 0.
