New cycle starting.... again.

Hello ladies.

I know this app is full of wonderful people trying to conceive so maybe some of you can relate to my issue right now.

Me and my boyfriend have been struggling for about 5 months to conceive a baby, I know it’s not long when you think about it but in the moment it feels like forever. Anyway this month I really thought it was it, we BDed at the right times, and I just had a really hopeful feeling. At around 8DPO I started light spotting which made me happy because I thought maybe it was IB but it turns out it was the start of my period a week and a bit early. I am so disappointed, our anniversary is tomorrow and I was really hoping to be pregnant as a gift for him.

How do you ladies handle starting another cycle while dealing with the disappointment of the last one not working out in your favour? I’m trying to keep positive but it’s hard
