Im extremely worried! I am 25 years old healthy and a non-smoker, I have had 3 abortions in my past that I'm not proud of, I am also RH negative... My partner and I have been attempting to conceive now for the last 6 months and nothing! Can I not get pregnant? What should we do?:confused: :confused: :confused:

Have you tried the various methods for determining when you are most likely fertile? It can be perfectly normal for it to take quite sometime for many couples to be successful. Frustrating and disappointing when it doesn't happen as quickly as you think it should, but it is quite common. With a woman under 35 or so, most doctors won't start any sort of testing until a couple has been trying for at least a year, and that is with knowing the approximate time of ovulation.
If you haven't already, set an appointment to see your doctor for a preconception visit. Be sure you are taking care of yourself, and your partner is as well, with healthy lifestyle choices. Determine when you are likely to be fertile... these are the things you can do for right now.

This my be a hard thing to hear but I've been told by a few of my friends that have had abortions said that after abortions it is harder to concive because the damage that is cause from the baby being removed. After sevural abortions it might take even longer for your body to concive. I am not sure if that's 100% pos true but I am pretty sure an abortion does a lot of damage to your body so that could be why.
