Hello and welcome to HCM! Lets get straight to your situation. Your problems might come from different reasons: 1. It could be due to hormonal drugs you have taken to induce abortion and the disruption of the normal hormonal regime of your body. This could last indifinitely if it is not treated properly; Please consult with your doctor for a treatment to restore your normal ovulation cycle; 2. It could be an infection of cervix or uterus so in this case there is need to have a culture of vaginal secretions. Also you need a vaginal and abdominal ultrasound examination in order to check whether the fetus and placenta have been completely removed and detect potential ovary cysts. Also a PAP test would be helpful to exclude other causes. Hope this answer was helpful!
