Body and Mind goes hand in hand! Mind i.e brain or specific parts of Brain affect each and every concerned or respective body parts. For e.g. Reproductive harmones are also under the control of harmones secreted by related parts in brain. Basically all of these things can be summed up in one word...i.e 'Neurobiology'. So coming to your concern, yes, it can be said that Anxiety and stress can affect your reproductive system. But rest assured, its just 3 month you are trying to conceive. Definitely infertility can not be labelled in this short duration.
Next Steps
Please consult a gynaecologist and if required, also psychiatrist to make you relieve from your stress and anxiety. Hope it helps!
