Is it normal for periods to completely change after a pregnancy?

In March 2015, I had an abortion at 6 weeks pregnancy - no judgement please. I was depressed about this decision and regretted it badly but I had no support and the father of the child left me in a very bad place. Anyway fast forward since then, my cycles have changed completely.

I have a 2 day period which is pretty regular whereas before I had a 7 day period. I now also get very bad ovulation pain but before I never experienced this. My periods are also very light and I experience very little cramping. Before it used to be very obvious when I would ovulate and also I'd have strong pms. I have been to the doctors and have had my thyroid checked etc everything keeps coming back normal. It might sound silly but surely 2 years after the abortion my body should have fully regulated again but why have I had such drastic changes with my periods. Do you think it could have affected my fertility? I also notice I do not ovulate every month anymore either. Feel like I have dry spells with occasional ovulation every 2-3 months.

I am 23 years old not really stressed so I don't know what else it could be?

It is normal in general to have your hormones and hence your cycle and periods to change on a regular basis as you go through life.  Most in their 20's have a different cycle than when they were in their teens.  Wait until you are in your late 40's!  LOL  Talk about different.  Your period still falls into normal so no worries and likely not related to the abortion.  And no judgement at all for that. Life doesn't always work out how we like and we're all doing the best we can.  good luck
