I'm not sure which antispasmodic you are taking, but Bentyl is safe to take during pregnancy - I took it myself. I also had terribly irregular periods and was slightly underweight. I would highly recommend using ovulation tests (email me privately if you want to know of a good website where you can buy them cheaply in bulk) to make sure you are actually ovulating. Become familiar with the ovulation symptoms.
Finally, RELAX. Easier said than done, I know. But stress hormones can inhibit implantation. Take a yoga class. Meditate. Whatever. And definitely gain weight. That's just a given. I had a hard time gaining weight when I was pg, you just have to learn to eat every couple of hours, and focus on healthy high calorie foods like avocados, nut butters, and adding healthy oils to your cooking. Saute your veggies in olive or canola oil, things like that.
It's not uncommon for it to take up to a year to get pg, especially if you are stressing about it. Can I ask how old you are?
