What Causes Irregular Periods After Abortion?

Hi I'm 29 years old and I had an abortion 2 years ago. My periods have not return to normal. The 1st year after the abortion I was not on birth control. My periods were very light, very dark blood, and only last for about three to 5 days. The first few days I just spot a very dark blood and then by the 3rd or 4th day the blood turns to a normal red color, but is still very light flow. I never fill a pad which is very abnormal for me. Before the abortion I would bleed for 3 to 4 days. The 1st day being light, the 2nd and 3rd day being very, very, heavy (could go through 5-6 pads in a day) and the 4th day light again. I started birth control last year and the problem is still the same. I am concerned that having the abortion may have or will prevent me from having children in the future. My mother keeps saying that I am going through premenopause, which scares me to death. Should I be concerned?
