long message coming but

been married since November 2019, and been trying for a baby with my husband ever since. ever since my first period ive had horrific periods - blood clots, crippling pain, annoyingly irregular periods. now ive been to the doctors countless times for this, they put me on the pill at 14, it helped for a year, then it stopped helping. everything was back where i started. so they took me off it. told me to see how i ā€˜go onā€™. so i did, safe to say nothing changedšŸ„“fast forward to some years later, im married & we moved in together and started baby dancing.

fast forward to end of february - i go to my doctors to talk about it, again. they ran blood tests on my immune system etc (im tired, sleeping alot, dizzy, ill all the time so they thought best to test everything they could) and then said when i came for my results theyā€™d do a full ā€˜period assessmentā€™. hadnt heard nothing for a week and a half but i called them because id come on and i could barely breathe it was that painful. couldnt move (this happens every period) and they said the blood tests were normal and that if it gets any worse call 999. my doctors were still open at this point and they told me it was fine and that an assessment wasnā€™t necessary...

the point of all of this is, i really need some advice. i know that this isnt normal. but now its effecting my husband too, he thinks we cant have kids and no matter what i say hes so worried we cant have babies. i really want to know what the hell is going on with my body and how i can help it. also how can we boost fertility? whats the best pre natal vitamins etc?

thankyou for reading my essay if youā€™ve got this far hahaha. it means a lot
