My second baby died on their due date 5 months ago. Both first and second were easily conceived, about a 1.5y age gap. We’ve been trying again - which has, tbh, other than my first child been the only thing keeping me going - but no luck. I’ve only had a bit of spotting, one period and one month with positive opk results. Otherwise am getting day after day of flashing but not solid smileys - currently going into day 9 of flashing and am testing 4xday.
I’m worried that I’m not ovulating and that my hormones are generally not cooperating. Now I’ve started focusing on this, I’ve realised my periods have been really light for ages, so I wonder if I have some longstanding hormonal problem that hasn’t been picked up before. I’m 34 and a bit overweight (not lost baby weight).
I’ve convinced myself that I’ve been pushed into early menopause by the trauma, or that I have some longstanding thyroid problem or something. I want to be pregnant, yesterday!, and don’t know where to turn for asap help. Will the gp help with blood tests? Should I go back to the hospital? I will be under consultant care as soon as pregnant again - don’t know if they’d help now though when I spoke to them in debrief they were surprised periods not back more promptly and offered further discussions etc. Should I pay for private investigations, and where/at what type of place? I’d be really grateful for any advice as think another month of flashing only smileys might tip me over the edge...
