Answer
Dear Kajal,
after an abortion - however induced - the hormone balance in your blood stays unstable for a prolonged time; could even be 3- 4 months.
So do not worry about not being regular as before. Just have patience.
In the meantime you ARE fertile. So protect yourself having sex!
Take care.
Dr Shan.
