Will One Be Unable To Conceive By Missing A Shot For Rh Factor?

In 2008 I had an abortion at a local Planned Parenthood office... after my procedure i was to recieve a shot because of my Rh factor results.. I never recieved any shot.. a few days later the office contacted me apologizing for not administering it... I am having early pregnancy symptoms now and am wondering if not recieving that shot will have any effect on my ability to become pregnant.. or on a current pregnancy?

Missing Rh shot has no relation to infertility. Of course, it can affect the baby in some cases (by causing fetal anemia and jaundice and later heart failure). All these can be diagnosed early and treated very effectively. But it NEVER causes problems in having conception.
