Probably normal: During the procedure, the lining of your your uterus is removed along with the pregnancy. Birth control pills can also thin the lining. So the combination may make your periods very light for a while. So long as your pregnancy test is negative, i wouldn't be worried yet. But if you don't resume at least light bleeding within the next 2-3 cycles, i might see your doctor to rule out scar tissue.

See your doctor: You should see your doctor to be sure that all of the tissue was removed correctly. In the mean time check a pregnancy test. If positive you may need to be seen more urgently.
