Hi everyone, so me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex (which is fine)
I was 3 days late for my period, it came and it was a lot lighter than usual and only lasted 48hrs.
My boobs are tingly, I’m so exhausted all the time and eve dizzy!
I’ve been craving garlic a lot and completely gone off coffee.
There has been a couple times when I have tasted metal in my mouth too.
Does it sound like I could be? This ‘period’ has kind of confused me.
I don’t want to keep buying tests if I’m just being paranoid.
Thanks in advance. 😊

The first symptom for me and why I took a test (I wasn’t trying at the time) was because I was gagging on my usual much wanted breakfast of weetabix and fruit. If you’ve found you’ve gone off coffee when you previously liked it then this could be a symptom! In hindsight my skin was also bad as well. The bleeding you experienced could have been spitting. With the tests though they can get quite expensive so maybe wait a couple more days before you try another one? Good luck!

Funny you mention that, I keep gagging on chewing gum and when I brush my teeth.
I’m going to wait and see to test but some reassurance always helps.
I want to be so I’m hoping so!
Thankyou too by the way!

So weird how hormones can affect the body! No problem, keep us updated, I hope you get the news you want x

I didn't have any symptoms before I tested despite desperately trying to find them! It was o lot about week 6ish that I started to feel sick and exhausted! 😊
