Aussie tier 5 to spouse visa complicated please help

[Hellofreckles]

Hi all, I’m desperate for some guidance, not being dramatic but I’m so scared I can barely sleep from the stress, at the time the tier 5 was all I was eligible for to be with my long distance (2 years apart) boyfriend in uk (I’m australian), we are now engaged and plan on getting married this April (home office has approved). I haven’t worked this whole time as I didn’t need to until now, now I need to for financial reasons, however we just found out that I will need 6 months payslips to combine with his as he earns less than the 18600 required! Stupid as we didn’t check I misunderstood from the gov website! My visa runs out in September 14th this year so as of March 14th it is exactly 6 months till my visa expires! I’ve been desperately applying for jobs I’m capable of doing. We were planning on using my paychecks to save most and pay for the application and an immigration specialist nearer to the expiry to try and try to fast track but I think it’s cutting it too fine and I don’t think I’ll even have the 6 months paychecks,or if I do I wouldn’t even be able to submit my application until September (once I get 6 months worth of payslips?) he has been employed at the same place for 12 months so we need to combine.

What do I do? Will I be rejected purely because I lack 6 months worth of payslips even if I get a permemant job? Even if it’s a month out? Can I try to get a letter from employers confirming ongoing job instead, like would that actually make any difference? I’m kind of desperate so trying to rack my brain.

If I secured a job and I somehow sent my application in before the 14th September with 6 months worth of paychecks can I stay in the country while my application is ‘pending’?!

If I have to return home to Australia, how can I get back to him?! We don’t have savings at all and he can’t go to Australia as he has a 10 yo daughter here, I don’t have any career qualifications. I’m terrified, he and my step daughter are my life. It breaks my heart so much knowing we could be doing the long distance thing again after all we did to be together. Please reply!!!!
