Yes- You definitely have to protect yourself in order to get through this trial. Some things I did was; miss the first 10 minutes of Sacrament meeting if there were baby blessings, don't go near baby sections of any store, hide friends posts that update pregnancy, eat out at restaurants really late when no kids are around, and I never went to a baby shower, only sent gift cards in the mail.
There are probably hundred of other things I did to protect myself that I can't think of right now. You'll know what you can handle. My husband and I had a secret code when we were with people that he would get a "phone call" that we had to leave. We even did this with family members. Sorry it is incredible hard and it seems there are no easy ways to overcome it.
One thing that my husband and I did (we still do now sometimes) but really helped during treatments was to go do something together if my period started. We went to a favorite restaurant or a movie. No matter what day it was. This even happened on Sundays. We spent that time talking about us and not about treatments or loss. This really kept us connected.
