We had unprotected sex the next day her period finished it started the 15 and finished the 21 we had sex the 22 what us the chances of my gf becoming pregnant or is she infertile because of the miscarriages and anemia ??

In order to answer the question of whether or not she would be able to get pregnant rapidly or would take a while, you need to ask her what the doctor said about why she miscarried (unless she knows already, like for example, she had an accident).  And ask if she is taking prenatal vitamins.  Just be seriously concerned about her general health, and since she is the only one who knows what her health picture is, you should be asking her.  The more healthy the woman, the better odds for the baby.

You cant really estimate past times with current. Just because it took that amount of time before doesnt mean it will be as long the next time it may be even longer. I also think that maybe you to should talk about the seriousness of having a baby because it sounds like your not really on borad. Taking responsibility is one thing, but are you ready like she is? But to answer your question more plainly it may or may not affect your current situation! Like i said conception happens when it happens.

Also when i spoke to my girl friend she explained to me how the first two times she was pregnant it took her 5 to 6 months to get pregnant.. How does that affect my current situation

My concern isnt being father because i always accept my responsibility the concern is my girlfriend and her health awell as a baby with the type of health issues is it possible to get pregnant on the first try  or will it take time because i wanna make sure she's as healthy as she should be

Hi, there is no guarantee she is infertile.  Having had one miscarriage is normal and often happens, though having two miscarriages relatively close together suggests something is possibly amiss.  Has she had a complete workup from her doctor?  Does she know why they happened?  

As far as anemia is concerned, she should be taking iron.  If a person takes it as directed, she does not have anemia any more.  The fact that she is not suggests she is also not taking prenatal vitamins, and that is serious because from three months before trying to get pregnant she should be taking them, especially the folic acid in them because it prevents a serious birth defect.  

Are you sure you have thought through being the father of a baby?  I notice you say "she's trying to get pregnant," not "we're" trying to get pregnant.  Are you fully on board?  She doesn't sound like her health issues are really in order, and the two of you aren't married, and you say 'she' is trying to get pregnant, something about all of this makes me wonder if you are really in this for the long haul, like the next 18-21 years or more.
