Sexual abuse does not usually create physical issues with fertility. So that your physician can best provide you with care I suggest that you ask this question to him or her on your next visit.
In addition, counseling is often helpful to victims of sexual abuse. Consider speaking with a mental health provider about your childhood experiences.
