Fertility treatment for 2nd child (NHS-UK)

I have PCOS and I am 10 months pp.
Im 31 and I had to use clomid and HCG to achieve pregnancy with my 1st. I have just been diagnosed as pre menopausal as well as having hyperthyroidism. Im still breastfeeding my 10 month old and want to continue until he is 12 months old at least.
Does anyone have any advice on what I should do to get pregnant? The NHS wont fund my 2nd and with my body clock rapidly ticking, I am terrified I wont be able to have a 2nd. We really cant afford private fertility treatment 😔

Hi, sorry youre pre menopausal . It sucks they wont let you have a second round on NHS. Would just using clomid work? Im sure a gp could prescribe you with it to try? Private is so expensive isnt it. X

The only option I was given was to go through the nhs but pay - it’s slightly cheaper than just going to a private clinic.

You can buy clomid over the counter in turkey (surprisingly cheap!) in their legit pharmacies, I bought some but never used it as a friend gave me some Letrozole in the end xx

Out for this month?

LH almost positive at 9dpo, ? VFL

My LH dropped back down to very faint post ovulation and now is rising almost positive again 9dpo. I can’t tell if there’s a vvfl/shaddow on my HCG strip? X

Positive or evaporation

Pregnancy test done Monday afternoon and straight away came up with faint positive second line. Couple days later done more tests and showed negative then today tested first thing in morning and came up with faint line around 10 mins mark. Not sure if evaporation line , or chemical pregnancy as I’m having pregnancy symptoms and today is my due date of period. Cycle has been not regular due to last month take tablets to delay period for holiday. Test attached is today - will add below test from Monday which has gone discoloured due to being old. Both are a lot clearer in person compared to pics . From my ovulation testing I started having fertile days from day 15-day 20. Had sex on day 20 and day 14. Now on day 29. Which my cycle is usually between 28-30 days
