Unless you had an infection or some other complication after your abortion you should not worry about future infertility caused by the abortion.

If you did not have any abortion complications, abortion should not affect your ability to get pregnant in the future. I had an abortion and had a healthy full tem baby boy 2 years after that. Here is a link about pregnancy after ab abortion http://dhh.louisiana.gov/index.cfm/page/915/n/275
