Is everything normal

Answer
This can be normal after a surgical abortion.  If you had a medical abortion, this can happen.  You may want to check in with your doctor if the next period is not normal. If you are on contraception this can happen.

You may want to check in with your doctor.  Especially if the spotting continues.  I usually have my patients come in for a vaginal ultrasound.
