Hello. Welcome to hcm.
Repeated ectopics may be due to various reasons and most commonly due to infection in fallopian tube. Infection after abortion treatment is highly unlikely as you would have had all features of PID and you would have got it treated.
I advice you to undergo tests from regular blood tests to specific tests like thyroid function tests,ultrasound. Mostly the cause is not known and once ectopic occurs,there is a high chance that it recurs.
All the best
