Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Can be normal. : Your endometrium/uterine lining may not have built up as thickly as usual after your abortion so it's certainly possible that this is just a light period. However if you've had unprotected intercourse, this could also be a pregnancy and you should get tested if that's the case.
