Patience and Dealing With Disappointment

My husband and I are planning to start to TTC later this year.  My husband has a great job, but we just bought our house earlier this year and have decided to build our savings back up a bit before we TTC.  However, I want a baby so bad that I end up crying every month when I get my period.  I know we're not officially trying yet and that we're doing the right thing by saving, but how do you get over the sadness from waiting?
