Yearning for a second baby, but my body is exhausted

Hi ladies, not sure if I need to vent or in search for advice :)

I will be turning 42 in September, have a 3.5 LG and really want a second child.
Starting April, on my first 8w scan I was diagnosed with blighted ovum, which was so devastating for me. It was an awful shock, since I was experiencing all the pregnency symptoms, so cruel. My heart was crushed....I think it still is.

My doc advised to wait min 3 periods after the misscarige to try again. But my main problem is that my body is just so tired with no interest in sex, my libido is lost.

For the last 2 years I work from home, with my toddler aside most of the day. Only for a year now she has been attending 3 hour creche a day. There are days that are easy, but there are also days that are absolute mayhem, stress from work combined with tantrums. With all everyday chores, at the end of the day I am done.

To be honest my partner does help with housework when he is back home (6-7pm), but I do envy him for that quiet office time, wher he can focus on work, without being pulled away from the desk 50 times a day. Not the mention all the noise while in meetings.

My fear is, turning 42 and getting even older, my chances are rapidly minimizing.

Wdyt ladies, any advice? Thank you
