Possible Miscarriages??

Hey everyone! This is my first time posting here and I’m really just looking for opinions and what your experiences might have been. I have had one son via C-section in 2016. My pregnancy was normal and healthy and my son was born healthy. Since then I have been TTC on and off for the last 6yrs. I have not been on any birth control and have occasionally tried some fertility pills and tracked my ovulation. My periods are regular and are only ever off by 1-3 days but usually come right on time every month.

In June of 2022 I went to the emergency room for some severe abdominal pain and found out I had an ovarian cyst the size of a grapefruit! I had emergency surgery and they ended up having to take one of my ovaries out as the cyst had pretty much destroyed it. My Dr. Assured me I would still be able to conceive with one ovary and it wouldn’t affect me in any way but he did diagnose me with minor endometriosis. It didn’t take long for my periods to be back to a regular cycle and I noticed that every other cycle I would have sever bleeding, cramping, and pass large clots. I’m talking large enough for me to feel them coming out of me! Sorry I know TMI 😬. During these “periods” I would occasionally bleed through a super+ tampon in less then 10min. I took pregnancy tests thinking maybe I was having miscarriages but they always came back negative……now it’s been a while since I have had a “period” like that but this cycle started 3 days late and again I’m passing large clots, heavy bleeding, and sever cramping. I have not taken a pregnancy test and don’t feel like wasting the only one I have on hand. I have been reading about chemical pregnancy’s and I’m thinking this might be what I’m going through but obviously I can’t be sure without a positive pregnancy test or blood work.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Is it normal to pass large clots like this? Is it normal to bleed through a tampon that quickly? I never had any of this before my surgery 😩. I just want to know what’s going on. I have plans to meet with a fertility specialist in the next month or two but until then it just sucks not knowing what’s going on. Especially since I have been TTC for so long.
