Premenstrual bleeding

I've kept away from the fertility threads for over a year because I just couldn't take it any more. First cycle of active ttc for over a year and it's started again. I feel disgusting, inadequate overwhelmed and in despair. My doctor STILL won't refer me to a fertility clinic because of my weight and although I've lost some weight it's not enough.

We've been trying for a number of years now, first just seeing how it goes, then tried to use opk's which was a complete disaster, and always using the Ovia app. It became apparent that I was constantly bleeding/spotting before my period actually started but was worse when we had sex during the 6 days of green fertile strip on Ovia. I would try to track ov using ewcm Ovia etc and when I was sure I'd ov'd if we had had sex I would start to bleed with clots a few days later. Ended up at a & e a few times with suspected ectopic because the pain was so bad and dr told me I may have had a very early miscarriage. Happened around 5 times before we stopped for a year, we hardly had sex the whole year because I was so traumatised.

Continued with irregular periods and spotting sometimes for up to a week before AF actually came.

Anyway, fast forward to this cycle. I used CB digital opk this cycle, dtd before and after my LH surge (so much easier to use so at least that's something). 2 days later and my uterus has been aching, also a burning pain down there, and I'm frickin bleeding again! 2 weeks before I'm due on. It's clotty and brown and disgusting. My legs feel numb and I feel beyond shit. Help?
