Not pregnant but disappointed

Posting here for better chance of a reply

I suspected I was pregnant after having all the symptoms I had with my other children. The thought scared me because I didn’t think I’d have anymore children and for the last few days I admit I have prayed and hoped I’m not pregnant to avoid complicating our lives (big age gaps/my age/money/small house and car)

Today I took a test and it was negative. I’m gutted. Knowing I’ll never get to be pregnant or give birth again has hit me hard. I thought I was over that after my youngest was born but it’s all come back to me and made me realise maybe I wanted to be pregnant after all. I really expected a positive and mentally prepared myself for it, waking up feeling quite excited.

How do I move on from this and properly put the baby days behind me? I’m generally a broody person and I love baby’s anyway. How did you ladies accept no more children if you wanted more? Any advice would be great, feeling a bit low.

You just have to be down in the dumps for a bit. Sorry.

I presume it's not just the baby you want but another teenager, another year of sleepless nights, another few months of paying for a larger car, maybe upsizing your house, and just enjoying the general upheaval another child would make to the lives of all of you.

These things all come as a package. Babies don't come by themselves nicely wrapped up.

Hormones and the human desire to pro-create. You'll be fine in a few weeks
