Anxiety about ttc again

Hi,

I am 30, in 2021 I started ttc with my ex-partner, got pregnant very quick but had 3 miscarriages.
We then broke up and I had to basically start again with life, although I had all the tests and was referred to Tommy’s who tested NK cells, the only thing that’s come back from tests is my under active thyroid and antibodies which I already knew about anyway.
I’m now in a new relationship (he’s slightly older at 34) and we are both keen to have children but now isn’t the right time due to relationship being new and us both studying masters at uni.
I’ve suppressed the need to ttc but only able to suppress it so far. I’m really anxious about ttc again in future, it will be at least 1-2 years down the line so I’m worried because of my past history and aware of biological clock, and although I got pregnant quick before I have this irrational worry I won’t be able to get pregnant quick again (and obviously we don’t know what his fertility is like). I don’t really know what the point of this post is, maybe just some reassurance from anyone who has been in a similar situation to me?

I continue to take my vitamins for conception including natural folate, just to try and maintain my reproductive health even though not actively ttc and take medication for my thyroid and make sure it stays under 2.5 tsh. And I also need to take progesterone and baby aspirin in a future pregnancy.

Something worth considering is freezing eggs? I personally think this should be normalised as many wait to start ttc now. Xxx

@Bunda i considered it before things got a bit more serious with my partner, but now part of me thinks it wouldn’t be worth it financially if we are going to try within the next 2 years anyway? Because I think if things don’t work out with him I would just go it alone and would want to make sure I still had the money for that
