Of course the answer is maybe you are pregnant! Only time will tell. As you pointed out, most early pregnancy symptoms are the same as pms symptoms. It is enough to just about drive a person crazy!
I personally think the most dangerous part of this whole TTC process is how hyper-aware we become. Extra aware of every thing our body does (or doesn't do), extra aware of how many pregnant ladies/babies/strollers are out in public, etc... It can easily become an obsession. I think it's okay to accept that this is a pretty consuming process and quite the roller coaster of emotions.
At the same time, it's also important to come up with tools that work for you to reduce the obsessing. Maybe you could specifically schedule "dates" with DH, family, and friends during the TWW to keep you occupied. I know I am okay for the first week, but the second week I start symptom-spotting like a mad woman. I try to actively come up with things to keep me busy in my free time, and not just go out for dinner with friends (because then all I want to talk about is you-know-what).
One of the ways I've tried to keep a lid on the crazy is to chart and temp. When I started this, I wrote lots of notes about symptoms. For me this was mainly detail about my pre-AF spotting because I kept convincing myself it was implantation bleeding. It never was, of course. And now I can better see the pattern for what it is, pre-AF spotting.
Good luck & lots of baby dust to you!
