First of all i want to say thank you so much to all those who read this, and thank you to all that reply.

I am in such a weird state at the moment, confusion, annoyance, all the above really and nowhere to turn as the doctors arent really helping too much.

I had a miscarriage december 2022 measuring at 6+1, in which it was heartbreaking anyway, but i went back on the pill straight after because me and my partner was living at his mums.

Fast forward to june/July i cane off the pill beforehand in may (i think) qnd managed to get pregnant again and id finally moved into my own home with my partner! hurray!! But then i again miscarried at 5+3.. which again heartbreaking, fast forward to after the miscarriage in august. Me and my partner had said i wasnt going to go on any contraception as we wanted to try again.. heres where the confusion comes in.

After what felt like the longest 6 weeks of bleeding and spotting and just feeling overall miserable, we decided we was going to try again. (possibly TMI at this point onwards) we have been trying since and been having sex every 2/3 days which is whats comfortable for us both.
However since my second miscarriage my hair has been falling out in clumps every time its washed and im bleeding near enough every 2 weeks Ive only began noticing this at the end of october. Its been on the dot every 2 weeks and then around 4 days after i would be ovulating (according to my tracker app).
But ive not fallen pregnant, even though we're still trying, we've made changed to our diet, cut down the alcohol (christmas is a different story because its a festive time!) But we dont drink often anymore. Maybe once a week we may pop to the pub for 3/4 pints after a long week at work.

The question i have, is the periods every 2 weeks normal? Why am i not getting pregnant? Am i missing something?

It seemed to be that i could get pregnant easily within 2 weeks coming off the pill however when im not on anything at all it seems to be a struggle to conceive?

Is there anything i can really do about it? Do i have to wait for my periods to start coming back normally every month or is this something i should follow up with the doctors?

Every time i get my period i feel sad that its another week ive not been able to conceive and a baby is something me and my partner have wanted for so long.

Can anyone give me any advice about it or should i just perservere with the doctors?
