I had an abortion last month. When my menstrual cycle was due the next month, i could just see spottings. Is it normal? From when would i have regular periods? Looking forward for a genuine reply.

Yes, that is normal.

Some women have a normal first period after an abortion, but then some women may only have a 'spotty' period after an abortion.

Taking birth control pills also makes your periods lighter, so if you are on BC pills that also explains the spottiness.
