Brief Answer:
You can conceive normally.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Not getting the Anti D shot does not reduce the chances of conception. It can cause recurrent abortions but you should be able to conceive normally.
If you are ovulating regularly then you can have daily sex with your partner during the fertile days. In case this is not helpful then do consult an infertility specialist for detailed investigations to find the cause.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
