Termination procedures can be uncomfortable since they are typically are done under local anesthesia with sedation. Some cramping at this point would be expected but sharp pain (particularly on one side or another) is not normal.
Most abortion providers will do a followup examination 2-4 weeks post procedure--this would be a good time to have your concerns addressed.
My strong suggestion is that you start using contraception immediately if you are not planning pregancy. It simply is not predictable when ovulation will occur post-abortion.
