Brief Answer:
Common after abortion, can plan pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is very common to have deranged periods after abortion but they usually subside by 6-9 months but in your case it is persisting because you have bicornuate uterus so both cavities are responding differently to resumption of normal menses after abortion in one cavity.
In my opinion you should get a baseline ultrasound done to see for endometrial thickness and ovarian morphology.
In case ultrasound is normal then start planning for pregnancy.
Wait for natural conception for three months and you can take the help of LH KIT to detect ovulation which are readily available in market.
And if it doesn't happen then visit your gynecologist and opt for follicular study to see for rupture of follicle and then time intercourse to achieve pregnancy.
Wish you all the best.
