Hallow Dear,
You did not have much bleeding after surgical abortion because during the procedure all the products of conception are removed from the uterus.
However, delayed bleeding with pain and painful intercourse with bleeding is indicative of infection. Please report to the obstetrician ASAP and start the treatment of antibiotics to prevent further serious complications like alarming bleeding, severe bleeding, infertility etc.
Hope this advice will guide you properly.
