Answer
Hi Angel :)

The abortion should have had no effect on your fertility if done legally/by a professional. It's an annoying coincidence. An abortion is an induced miscarriage-and we don't see miscarriages affecting future fertility rates.

Have you tried charting your menstrual cycles? You could start narrowing in on when you're ovulating, and thus the best time to try and conceive. If you'd like more info on that, let me know!
