Hi, a bit about my background. I have been with my partner for four and a half years now. We are both in our early 30 and currently saving to buy our first home together.

I am on the pill and have been with out any problems since I was 16 due to very painful periods. I often miss a pill by mistake and am always completely honest about missing any with my partner.

The beginning of this month I missed a pill just after my 7 day break. I am now not really feeling myself. I have had a very strong unpleaste metal/bloody taste in my mouth which comes and goes for the past few days. Been very tired and extremely irritable... More than usual. Today while in work I started to get painful stabbing pain in my lower tummy, right side that came and went. My one breast is ever so slightly tender, I have a really sore feeling throat & really off food that I usually love. I have been experiencing cramping like period pains for about a week. Not sure if I am just over reacting. My period is due 25th so I'm guessing it would be to soon to take a test? I am still taking my pill. I'm wondering if all these things are just all in my head and it would far to soon to experience any symptoms. I feel like I am driving myself crazy! Am I being silly?

Continue with the pill until 25th just in case ... but it sounds like a possibility that you may be pregnant ...

The other option is to make a gp appointment and get blood test confirmation asap

Thanks for your advice blackwidow. I have decided to wait and see what happens as I probably wouldn't have got in to my doctors till next week anyway. However I woke up with the worse cold ever Thursday morning after going to bed fine Wednesday night so I think being run down and a little unwell maybe to blame for all of this. Still run down with it and sure I can feel the early period cramps coming.
