How much is too much?

I am new to the "trying to get pregnant" scene. To be honest, the last two months have been maddening. What I thought was possible pregnancy turned out to be the flu and a bladder infection. I would love to get pregnant, but I'm wondering how much I can emotionally handle the monthly anticipation and possible subsequent let down. 
I am on the fence about taking ovulation tests, tracking my basal temperatures, etc. I know the general timing of when I ovulate. Should I just enjoy the time with my husband and let nature take its course? Or do I go down the emotional rabbit hole and start applying charts, graphs, and stastical bell curves to maybe, just maybe speed up the process?
