it could be. Once you are pregnant, the lining of the uterus rapidly builds up. An abortion will interrupt that buildup but not reverse it. The lining will be as build-up as it was when the abortion occured. As such, the next menstrual period will result in a lot more of uterine lining material being shed, thus causing a much heavier, and possibly longer flow.

generally, the cycle should be reset by now. The period you have now will be the general benchmark for when your periods will occur from now on. You can somewhat regulate this through birthcontrol pills, but this likely is your future cycle time.

After my abortion, the first cycle was a bit heavier and longer than normal. After it stopped, I started a new pill pack and within two to three months I was having more regular (with regards to heaviness) cycles consistent with the time of the month for my pill pack. So, for a little while, they may be heavier and you may start at a different time.

A few months ago, we had a condom mishap and although I am on the pill, we weren't going to take any chances so I obtained ec through the local planned parenthood and that made me start a few days earlier. I went back to my regular cycle when I started the new pill pack. I haven't had any long term effects from the abortion or the ec.

I hope this helps and thank you, thank you, thank you for everything else you have said on here.

Peace,
