Answer
Hi dear Tiana,
you seem to have very irregular periods. This, after an abortion, is happening frequently and may take some month to stabilize again. With these irregular menses its impossible to be sure when you fertile days are.
So, after an abortion, take sufficient precautions if you do not want to be pregnant again. Combination of the pill   condom ("double dutch") is the most  reliable. If you want to know when you became pregnant just calculate 29 weeks and 2 days back.
Hope this was helpful. Bye for now and take (better) care !
