 It can be the cause, but ther can be many other reasons as well. If you are worried, go see a gynocologist.

What about future pregnancies?
Will an early abortion affect my ability to have a child in the future?
No. Safe, uncomplicated, legal abortion should not affect fertility.
Does an early abortion make miscarriage more likely in the future?
No.
Does an early abortion make ectopic, or tubal, pregnancy more likely in the future?
No. Not unless a serious infection occurs. Infection occurs in only one out of 300 first-trimester abortions and only rarely does it affect future pregnancies.
Does an early abortion cause premature birth or low infant birth weight in future pregnancies?
No.
Does an early abortion cause birth defects in future pregnancies?
No.
Does an early abortion increase the chance of infant death in the future?
No.
Does having several abortions affect future pregnancies?
No. Abortions do not make it harder to carry a pregnancy to term.

 It's possible, especially if you had a later-term abortion. You should go check with a doctor.
With that said, sometimes it just takes a while to get pregnant even if nothing is wrong, so there's no reason to panic just yet.
