I'm really confused about my pregnancy test results. I took a Prega News test and there was only one line, but I noticed that the HCG absorbent paper turned pink after about 3 minutes. My period is supposed to start on the 28th of this month. I even took the test yesterday and it came back negative. Does the pink color on the absorbent paper mean there's HCG hormone present?

We have to go for an abortion today with a good gynecologist. I'm really looking for some solid advice on how to care for my wife after the procedure. How soon might she recover? What should we focus on regarding her diet? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate your guidance on this.
