Another Negative

This is my first post, but not my first rodeo as they say. My husband and I have been trying for about 4 years to have a baby, this past year more serious than before. Maybe that's why it hurts more when the test comes back negative. We are trying to stay positive but it's hard.
~Our (shortened) Story~
We met in 2017, it was love at almost first sight. Moved in together in 2018, engaged in 2019, married in 2020. I know for some that sounds like a very short time to be trying to have a baby but here's the part you don't know... I'm 34 and he is 36, technically a geriatric pregnancy IF we can even get pregnant. Also, I have PCOS and am struggling with those issues almost daily.
I know it's not over yet, and I know there are so many more options we can try but I am so frustrated. I really thought we had it this time, a good period free window and frequent adult time. Then, just like that, spotting. The last doctor visit told us to test even if we see spotting since my periods are so wildly infrequent so I did and just like last time, it was negative. No baby again this month and my heart is broken.
I guess more than just venting (which is so helpful) what I want to know is, how long have you been trying? What is your story? Please tell me I'm not alone...

Re: Another Negative
It's really amazing that you have this kind of love and support from your DH and I pray you will see a BFP soon enough!
You're certainly not alone, I am new here as well, and I find it conforting reading stories from people that are going through something similar as me. I kinda feel that my emotions are not so weird, that it's not just me that feels this way.
