How do you deal with the disappointment month after month?

[Gumblossom]

Just that really. I have been ttc for a very long time. Since my nearly 6 year old ( only 2 days til his birthday) was ten months old. I've had four miscarriages in that time, and month after month of dashed hopes. I know why I am having trouble (I am in my forties) and I've done lots of different things to help myself (acupuncture, supplements, hormone testing etc).

But when I have a combination of pms and the knowledge that I will most likely get AF (I have a good working knowledge of my cycle) I just feel so low.

How do you deal with it? Any suggestions gratefully received. I am just so glad I do have my lovely DS who is always telling me how much he loves me and is always ready with a cuddle.

With great difficulty Gumblossom! I've been TTC for nearly 4 years, one miscarriage (12 weeks). We are unexplained, both late 30s. At the moment I'm going through a period of anger/rage at the injustice of it all. Due to go back to fertility consultant in 3 months to hopefully start IVF.
I've tried everything going, including acupuncture like you. The only thing that helps me cope is focusing on diet/exercise - only bit about my body I do seem to have some control over, unlike my useless fertility!
Have you thought about adopting to add to your family? I am so prepared to do this, just have to try the IVF route first. Only intending to try 3X and then move straight on to looking at adoption.
We are actually taking a break from TTC for the next 3 months. I'm at a point where I have had enough of the disappointment, don't feel like I can take it anymore.
Sorry if that hasn't been much help, but I do empathise!
