Ovulation and Anxiety

I avoided going to get my last bloodwork until earlier this week. I had a very heavy period last week, so I assume everything will come back clear this time. I'm thankful not to have to go to through a 2 month miscarriage again. However with the return of my period, this means the return of ovulation. I'm hoping it will come at the right time this month and not be excessively late.

With ovulation looming, I feel panicky. What if the issue is with my thyroid and we don't get it corrected in time, I ovulate, get pregnant, and miscarry again? I also need to be doing the baby aspirin ( but I have no idea what that means). And while I was thinking of that, it occurred to me that when I got pregnant with James I had been taking LDA. My mother had a heart attack 2 weeks before and my husband started making us take low dose aspirin to help combat potential heart issues for myself. Anyway, I was on aspirin when I conceived and he was implanting. I can't help but find that more than a coincidence. What if it is only happy chance that I have James in my arms? Suffice it to say, I'm taking aspirin again.
