[Tex/LaTex] How to align a set of very long equations

Question

I'm trying to set up my equations for 3 hours and it's driving me crazy. I'm new in LaTeX so I don't master it at all.

This is the closest, with the simplest code, that I could get.

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{report}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}

\begin{align}
dX(t)=&-f1*X(t)L(t)dt+g1*U(t)dt\\
    &-\sqrt{f1*X(t)L(t)}dW1(t)+\sqrt{g1*U(t)}dW2(t)
\end{align}
\begin{align}
dL(t)=&-f1*X(t)L(t)dt+g1*U(t)dt-f2*U(t)L(t)dt+g2*Y(t)dt\\
    &-\sqrt{f1*X(t)L(t)}dW1(t)+\sqrt{g1*U(t)}dW2(t)\\
    &-\sqrt{f2*U(t)L(t)}dW3(t)+\sqrt{g2*Y(t)}dW4(t)
\end{align}
\begin{align}
dU(t)=&f1*X(t)L(t)dt-g1*U(t)dt-f2*U(t)L(t)dt+g2*Y(t)dt\\
    &+\sqrt{f1*X(t)L(t)}dW1(t)-\sqrt{g1*U(t)}dW2(t)\\
    &-\sqrt{f2*U(t)L(t)}dW3(t)+\sqrt{g2*Y(t)}dW4(t)
\end{align}
\begin{align}
dY(t)=&f2*U(t)L(t)dt-g2*Y(t)dt\\
    &+\sqrt{f2*U(t)L(t)}dW3(t)-\sqrt{g2*Y(t)}dW4(t)
\end{align}
\end{document}

And it's giving me this

It's close to what I want but I want the dX, dL, … to be aligned aswell.
And, if possible, but not very important, to get only one number of ref. for the whole set.

I tried numerous ways with align, split, aligned and I couldn't do it.

I've the conviction that the answer is very simple but I don't know what to try anymore, I've read so many post about it here and I'm still blocked.

Thank you.

Edit :

As suspected, it wasn't tricky at all, thank you very much.

Answer 1

Key changes:

1. a single align block, with extra \\ for blank lines

2. ={}&, not =&, to get the proper spacing around =

3. \notag for unnumbered lines

Here is the revision.

\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\begin{align}

    &-\sqrt{f1*X(t)L(t)}dW1(t)+\sqrt{g1*U(t)}dW2(t)\\
\notag\\
dL(t)={}&-f1*X(t)L(t)dt+g1*U(t)dt-f2*U(t)L(t)dt+g2*Y(t)dt\notag\\
