The symptoms that you describe can be due to a thyroid hormone and/or a prolactin hormone imbalance. These two hormones are closely related, and you need to be closely monitored by a hormone specialist called an endocrinologist, or a reproductive endocrinologist who specializes in infertility as well. Imbalances in these hormones can cause you to have a problem conceiving because they can prevent ovulation. You need to get this straightened out to prevent the symptoms and to help you get pregnant. I hope this helps answer your question, please let me know if you have any more questions.
