RH- blood type and pregnancy

I was wondering if any of you have the RH- blood type and have had successful or non successful pregnancies/ability to concieve?

I'm 21 years old and am TTC. When I was 16 years old I had a miscarriage at about 6 weeks, then is when I found out that I am RH-. They did regular blood tests on me post mc for about a week or two then game me a shot in my hip. I am wondering if being rh- will affect my ability to have a child now that I am ready? My husband is RH+.

No it only would affect the pregnancy of the blood mixed but the chances are small. They will give you the rhogam shot at around 28 weeks and then again after birth if your baby is a positive blood type.

No it won't affect you.  I am RH- and when I got pregnant they just gave me a shot that helps. My daughter is RH+ and I had no problems.
