Erm....I think I might be pregnant!

[Pondlily]

My boobs have been really sore for about a week, so bad I've bought a three pack of those ugly bras, I've always had tenderness before a period, but only for a day or so, I've also noticed a strange taste in my mouth, not enough to think much about it, until now, I've just read an early sign is a metallic taste, and that's the taste, couldn't put my finger on it before.

Slight twinges like mild period pains and wind.

I still don't want to believe it, I'm 39, this will be my first if I really am, but reading that about the metallic taste kinda made a light come on.

Early pregnancy symptoms REALLY feel like a period coming.....That's rather confusing.

I don't have anyone to tell, my husband is sleeping.

Blimey!!!

Shamelessly marking place

Is that how it works Orange? I've just had my third and DP has always just told me to get on with it :). Think I moan too much :)

Ooh exciting!!

When I got my BFP, DH still went and had the sperm test we had booked for that day (we were due to start fertility investigations)!! He didn't really believe it for at least a week!

Good luck! I'm about 5-6 weeks so if it's + we'll be due around the same time we can start a July antenatal thread!

Oh he is obviously trying not to get his hopes up.

Still annoying!

Iloveholidays..... I was trying to be positive for her! Head stuck in clouds!

Orange... It did make me giggle!!!! I think I play the sympathy card a bit too much when pregnant so can't really blame DP. I prefer "I'm ill and pregnant" line rather than "I'm not ill I'm pregnant" one :)

Ooh, exciting! Keeping my fingers crossed for you :)

He's having an apple now

pond shall I send my dp round. Both times it was him who told me I was pregnant and poas confirmed it! He has an in-built pregnancy radar

Don't buy the digital ones - lots of people on here don't think they're that accurate. Get the cheaper First Response ones.........

I want to POAS now and there's no chance whatsoever I might be pregnant (or want to be!)

I actually have one in my cupboard OP. Do you live near me? Look out of the window - I'll stand in the road and wave. I've got a red dressing gown on.

He's finished his breakfast, have a pic of the first response box ready to show him..............

I've got 12 out of date in my cupboard. Shall we all join in, in support?!

blowing his nose, singing to the dog..............

Oh yes definitely second the First Response idea. Digital ones expensive and I don't know if they are as reliable

Is he deliberately try to wind MN you up?

Good luck!

Good luck! Don't waste money on expensive tests, own brand are just as good and iirc clearblue digital are not very sensitive so more likely to give you a false negative.

Oooh exciting Yes I got my BFP on a First response and I always pee'd into a jar because it deceased the risk of spoiling the test by peeing in the wrong place (wasted a clear blue doing that!). I hope it's positive! :)

Cheap supermarket ones are very sensitive and give a good clear line IME. Tell him to get a box of each. What a great thread to wake up to. Good luck OP!

Awww Pond, you are being very patient although I do think DH is probably being so chilled for your benefit even though its just more stressful for you IYKWIM.

Has he left the house yet?

For why can you not go to the shops yourself, OP?

The nation demands it, surely?

He's a joker, I'm used to it we've been together 18 years, this relationship requires oooooooodles of patience :)
