Dear Zainab Abubaka
It is quiet possible that can have recurrent yeast infections if your immunity is low. However it is unlikely that by getting these yeast infections that that is the cause of you not falling pregnant. I would suggest you look for other causes such as checking if the sperms are good enough, checking if the fallopian tubes are patent or not and doing hormonal tests to see if your hormones are normal and that you are ovulating.
