Hi , How are you doing ?
I don't find any reason for you to worry. When you say you had a pregnancy( irrespective of the outcome) it means you stand a very good chance of pregnancy again.
Now having those symptoms which you mentioned are of the progestrone hormone secreted in second half of periods. It only suggests that may be the hormonal balance is slightly disturbed. You can wait for another week for the periods. If it occurs , fine. If no periods , just pregnancy test again- if negative meet a gynecologist who will start on hormone pills to have a withdrawal bleeding.
Progestrone hormone which is produced from ovary after release of egg, causes symptoms like- mood swings , depression, bloated feel, heavy breast, Air filled feeling in bowels so on. But once you have periods all will disappear.
You can also check your Thyroid profile & Serum Prolactin early morning in empty stomach. Just to confirm if no other hormone has lost balance.
I can give you a check list to see if all is fine , & anything interfering pregnancy to come. If anything missing, get it done.
Husband- Semen analysis at least 2- done 4 weeks apart preferably in an infertility center ( examination done by andrologist), Blood sugars
Wife - Blood Sugars, Thyroid profile
Ultrasound scans to evaluate Uterus , Ovaries & adnexa
Confirm tubal patency- most important- Tube is the connection
between uterus & ovaries( the bridge where sperm meets the egg &
forms a baby) this is size of hair follicle & cannot be seen on scans.
So check with HSG( Xray with dye), or SSG ( Scan with dye) or Laparoscopy
If all this done & found normal , nothing can stop a pregnancy with God's will
Hope I have cleared your query

All the best
