Hi and thanks for this query.
If the ultrasound shows a small sac in the uterus, then there are products of conception present in the uterus. The corpus luteum is normally supposed to be visible shortly after even a successful abortion as seen on the ultrasound.
It could actually be a failed abortion or an incomplete abortion. A follow up ultrasound in a few weeks should be able to shed more light on this. For now, i will advice you to sit and observe. If you get any concerning symptoms, contact the doctor. Otherwise, control this ultrasound in 2-4weeks to get a definite answer.
Please, abortion is not a method of contraception. I will like to suggest that you consider using a contraceptive method and protected sex in order to avaoid unwanted pregnancies.
Hope this helps and provides guidance to you.
Wish you good health.
