Question : I had an abortion around the top of the year

since then my menstrual cycles have become extremely different. I used to have a heavy deep red flow for almost a week long and now they are only a day or two long very light and brown never any red tone. I'm nervous. is this a horrible sign that indicates I may never be able to have children?

Hello dear, I understand your problem.
I would like to know certain facts about your abortion earlier that whether it was dealt with only medicine or a surgical curetage was also done and if at all you had fever in the recovery period.
Waiting for your response.
