TTC with cervical ectropion - anyone?

I was diagnosed with cervical ectropion last year. TTC this year - first go ended in a pregnancy of unknown location and was treated with methotrexate. Been trying again after a three month wait, and whilst my cycles are back to normal, regular, etc post ovulation bleeding has got worse (several days the week before my period and whilst I wouldn't class it heavy, I can feel it ifykwim) Don't know if this is the ectropion or something else, but also whether this would affect TTC? And if it would stop if I was pregnant? In my TWW and it has started again, and don't know if it means I'm out this month again.

I’ve got cervical ectropion and conceived in the first cycle of trying with all three of my pregnancies. Never had any miscarriages.
I know this may seem obvious but worth mentioning, are you testing your ovulation using strips? My cousin found out she was missing her fertile period by a couple of days by using ovulation strips.

@AllTheUsernamesAreAlreadyTaken thanks - that's good to know! Do you mind me asking did you have any bleeding during your pregnancies from the ectropion?

And thanks - yes, I used the clear blue ovulation sticks this month, so think we hit the right days, but have been having the usual spotting again the last few days and on 12dpo with BFNs so far.

I had spotting in my first pregnancy just before my period (implantation bleeding I think) was due but nothing in the other two.

Keep going. It can be really frustrating but you’ll get there in the end x

@AllTheUsernamesAreAlreadyTaken thank you, will keep going! Naively thought I would conceive quickly again after how quickly it happened first time!

Well, you know that you can get pregnant so it’s surely just a matter of getting the timing right etc
It’ll happen xx

I was diagnosed with this during my first pregnancy after spotting/bleeding.

The gynae said it wouldn't effect future fertility at all and makes no difference to getting pregnant.

I conceived fairly quickly with my second. Oddly I only ever have symptoms when pregnant.

Not sure either there are different levels of severity. What did they tell you when diagnosed?

@AllTheUsernamesAreAlreadyTaken you're right, trying to tell myself that too :)

@JustWonderingIfYou that's also reassuring! Thank you. I think sometimes the hormonal changes during pregnancy/pressure on cervix can impact it?

The nurse didn't say much when she diagnosed it but said she would refer me to have it treated, still on the waiting list though.
