Symptom Spotting

OK...so I am 6 DPO today and I am having cramps and milky discharge. These are all supposedly symptoms of early pregnancy, BUT they are also symptoms of tons of other bodily things as well. Every month I think that I have an antire myriad of symptoms ie...cramps, sore bbs, nausea, CM, and fatigue only to get a bfn. I am starting to think that all of this "symptom spotting" is actually really counter productive and only makes the emotional roller coaster of TTC that much more intense. Symptoms can be like a self fulfilling prophecy....if I believe that they are there enough, then eventually they will be. Unfortunately that doesn't lead to a bfp. I am really trying to start to scale down my expectations and relax a little regarding TTC. It's very hard to do, but I think all of the stress of up and down emeoyions is only making it physically harder TTC.
