Hoping cramping is phantom

Ok, so has anyone here been TTC for a long time and end up having the same thoughts as me? Or am I just crazy?

Every month I pretty much play mind games with myself. Once cramping starts (which is on time) I start to wonder if it’s phantom cramping or if it is real cramping. And then I obsess over that thought. I end up with the knowledge that it is cramping but also with the real hope that it’s phantom.

Spoiler alert: every month so far I get my period
