This sounds like it is really tough on you. I'm so sorry. Wanting a baby and believing you are pregnant -- and then finding out that you aren't -- can be devastating. It is almost as though you DID create a life and then it wasn't there anymore, in a way.
But you mustn't feel like you're "less of a woman." That's not right, and it's not going to help you, either. Many couples who are trying to conceive, especially when they are a little older, take several months to a year to be successful. You are a mom to two children -- that is so awesome! So try not to let the "down" feelings rule your world quite so much.
What you HAVE learned is that while you might not have been trying to conceive, a new baby would indeed be welcome news. No doubts there, right?
I hope you find out soon what's happening with your periods/ovulation so you can continue to try. I'll look for your updates. And best wishes!
