AnswerAfter an Aspiration Procedure, it is expected that your menstrual cycle will be irregular. It could be that you are about to get a period. The blood presenting as 'brown'or 'dark' is not of concern, as this just indicates that it is 'old' blood, more than likely residual left over from the procedure. I do not feel concerned that this could be an infection, unless it is accompanied by strong cramping, odor, or fever.
If your symptoms worsen, you should see a doctor. Otherwise, I would recommend waiting a week or two and taking a home pregnancy test to be sure it is negative. Good luck.
