I'm 7dpo today and would love to speak with others also in their TWW as I'm finding it really hard to fight the urge to test, so a distraction would be nice haha. I'm on my 4th cycle TTC my first. This is the first cycle where I've had hardly any symptoms. By this time I usually have really sore and achey boobs, but I've not had it at all!

@Saddlethehorseimdone Hey 😊 ah those are some good ovulation signs! I track ovulation with OPKs and bbt, this cycle I had 3 straight days of peaks so was a bit confusing! You know I had no idea breastfeeding did that to women’s cycles until I read other threads on here, how amazing 😂 I’ve been off my pill for a few months now and my first 2 cycles were so different, first was 42 days then the next was 25, third was 27 so it’s looking like my body is starting to go back to normal now! I actually had the metallic taste last cycle but obviously didn’t mean anything for me, my body likes to trick me too much. Past tww’s I’ve symptom spotted like crazy but I’ve been a lot more relaxed this month so maybe that’s why I’m not noticing ‘symptoms’. I’m hoping I can hold out testing till 22nd when I’ll be 11dpo but I seriously doubt I’ll have the willpower to wait that long haha, when are you wanting to test?

Hey also 7dpo (I think). Have you been using OPKs? I haven't but had ovulation pains last Sunday followed by EWCM so convinced I ovulated.
I'm TTC #2, not really sure what cycle I'd call it as we haven't used contraception since our son was born last September as I was breastfeeding which is about 97% effective as contraception. My cycles have been all over the place so it's been a bit of a nightmare trying to track things.
When I was pregnant with my son, the only symptom I had was a metallic taste in my mouth on a few occasions so don't worry about the symptoms especially at 7dpo.
When are you planning on testing? Definitely need some moral support to stop me wasting tests!
