Answer
Hi Kesa :)

I would think of the abortion were incomplete, they would have scheduled a D&C at your follow-up. There may have been some tissue left that they felt would be gotten rid of via routine menstrual uterine contractions, when your uterus normally sheds its lining, and they want you to come back just for a checkup.
