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!!!

I hope he's buying a twin pack - you might want to test more than once - or god forbid, mess up the 1st one!

I would have killed him by now. You have the patience of a saint, OP Smile

Dear God woman, I'll go and get you a PG test!!!!

The nation demands a result!

Pondlily · 17/11/2012 09:14

Y'know even if it's negative I still think I am, my boobs are still killing me, they have been for over a week and I'm sure the taste is getting worse.

emeraldgirl1 · 17/11/2012 09:20

Well, this is frustrating. I can get nothing on my to-do list done until the test is done. So no housework, laundry, ironing or phoning my mother for me this morning. What a shame. I'll just have to sit here with a coffee and a muffin waiting for an update. Grin

northernmonkey · 17/11/2012 09:21

Oooo good luck Smile

BigWhoop · 17/11/2012 09:23

I hope you get a positive test, July is a lovely month to have a baby!

I had the metal taste, like sucking a penny.
