It'll kill me if i can be a mom

Hi everyone , I jus found this site and decided to ask for advice. Im 23 yrs old, and Ive been in a relationship for 2 years with the same man. When I was 20 I got pregnant...on birth control and being young, and stupid I had an abortion. (trust me I know the mistake I made, and I think about everyday)... After my abortion I was told i have a "backwards tilted uteris". My gyno said it wasnt a big problem and everything was still normal, somethings would jus become a little more difficult. The problem is, My fiance and I have been having unprotected sex for the past year or so and I have yet to conceive. Im very sad, and scared that I may be infertile, I feel like I hurt all of my chances when I aborted my first child. Im so young, and want so much to be a mother someday...There are times where I thought I was pregnant, then here comes AF a week or so late and theres no baby. What do u think?

Talk to your gyno.  If you are ovulating and having sex at the right time with no success, it might be time to be referred to a specialist so they can do a full workup.

Have your hormone levels been checked? Do you know for a fact that you ovulate?  I don't think the abortion made you infertile, however, you are typically scraping the uterine walls to detach the implanted embryo so if any scarring was done then that may pose a problem.  I would get my levels checked first before you start working yourself up.  If you got preggo once I really still think it is possible.  Babydust to you!!
