How do you cope with the disappointment?

Question

I’ve been TTC for a long time. I’m 34. My husband is 41. I’ve been to the doc. My husband has been to the doc. Everything seems to work “as normal” - yet here I am with another negative pregnancy test. 
How do you deal with the sadness time after time? I almost had a breakdown walking past a mother with her small children today because I’m just not sure I’ll ever get to experience that. It’s so hard.
I feel like this getting pregnant is this elusive puzzle that is a dead end at every turning point. 
To say I’m struggling is an understatement.
What mindsets / coping skills do you use to keep going, trying, searching?

Answer

I focus on today.  I can't/shouldn't compare lives with others,  so I focus on MY today.  I think often of all the possibilities this day can bring.  I think about where my love can be shared in other ways, I focus on my great husband and my fur baby.  It's hard,  it will always be hard,  but I find my happiness everyday.

Answer

I have only been trying for 6 months now, but take a moment to think about what triggers you and try to avoid it a bit. I am at the age that my social media is all people posting pregnancy, birth, their kids bday parties etc. When I am feeling down or after my af shows, this irks me to no end. So I do my best to stay off social media during this time.

Answer

This is my 13th month of trying and I have never gotten a BFP. I'm also 38 soon and I understand what you mean. I feel disappointed and hopeless every month too and I feel like giving up every month but end up still trying every month. I might need to accept the fact that I will never have kids.
