TTC for 12+ months

Reaching out for advice & support, been TTC for 15 months, DTD every 2-3 days, due to coronavirus our appointment to see a fertility specialist has been cancelled twice so unsure when we get to see a doctor.

Been tracking ovulation with opk's and body temp since 9 months and my main findings are the following:
-Cycle length changes anywhere between 23 to 30 days
-Luteal phase only 8-9 days

  • OPK's stopped giving me peak (LH surge) results the last 4 cycles, before that I got a peak every month
-Period comes with severe cramping (1-2 days, but last cycle 6 days of cramping!) and large blood clots (pretty much no normal blood flow)
  • excess amounts of EWCM for 7-10 days
  • BBT is super erratic, there is no 'base line temp'. Up and down throughout entire cycle. Temp doesn't drop before period but stays high (37 C +) till after period. I do see a temp spike around predicted ovulation date most months but as it's so up and down throughout the cycle I have no idea if I can rely on this to pinpoint ovulation.

Based on all these symptoms GP says 'everything is probably fine, just try to relax'. Confused
I'm probably just overreacting but I feel like I'm noticing so many red flags and not being able to see a doctor is incredibly stressful and worrying :(

Anyone with the same symptoms that has been able to get pregnant naturally?
