Answer
Hi, Kareemah,

I have no idea what is going on with your body. The only way to find out is to go see a doctor. Nobody will be able to tell you over the internet, not even a doctor. Having an abortion is not normal, so saying what is normal afterwards makes no sense. Abortion really messes up a woman's body. I would say that not getting a period when you think you should IS common. I don't have any idea when your body will return to some kind of rhythm. Every woman reacts differently. So please find a decent doctor and see what he can find out for you. Don't go to anyone who helped you get an abortion. Let me know what you find out, and please take care of yourself and don't do any more damage. You are too precious and you deserve better.
