Any medics about? SSRI delaying ovulation

So I'm trying not to get too excited but I've previously been stressing about delayed /absent periods and it possibly being the start of the menopause. However I've done a basic Google search and found info (in the attached pics) that SSRIs can delay periods, even delay ovulation. So am I right in thinking that if it delays ovulation then any eggs I do have left are saved rather than lost in period which never happens?

I had my first baby earlier this year and ended up with an EMCS so will have to wait at least 18m until I can try and conceive a second. Ideally we'd like to wait 3 yrs but time isn't on our side. However discovering this information about SSRIs makes me wonder if it's unexpectedly elongating my fertile age?
