Metallic taste

Hi everyone, I’ve had a metallic taste in my mouth since Sunday night (8dpo I think) didn’t think much of it until I googled it and it says it can be a pregnancy symptom? I did a cheap test this morning and had a BFN, the taste seems to be getting stronger 🤢 just wondering if anyone had this symptom and went on to have a BFP?
Sorry for the essay 🙈
Thanks for any replies xx

@KatieA1234 I'm sure it could just be an evap line, it's barely there. But my period still hasn't come x

Ahh okay, that’s good to know! all I’ve had is the metallic taste since Sunday night and slight waves of nausea yesterday, but other than that nothing 🤷🏻‍♀️ x

I had a partial loss of taste and then went on to be extremely tired (also could be a pregnancy symptom), have backache, ditto, and then a cough on about day 7.

@Anonymous2345 oooo good luck 🤞 x

@GreyishDays that actually never crossed my mind until today! Have you got any other symptoms?x

Bear in mind a metallic taste in the mouth could be a covid symptom (I have one right now with it). Fingers crossed it’s pregnancy Smile but it’s just something to have at the back of your mind I think.

Tested the day before period due and got the faintest line.

Went to the GP a week later and they did similar test there which was dark almost immediately.

Couldn't open the fridge door without physically holding my nose and my breath. 🤢

@fairyannie Thanks for your reply, that’s good to know! Do you know how many DPO you were when you got your positive test? Just as I think I’m 12DPO today and had a negative test so not holding out much hope now x

I had the metallic taste about a week before my period was due.
Had no idea this taste was connected to pregnancy - (BG - before google).
I threw my toothbrush away thinking it was that, bought a new toothbrush and still had the taste. Threw the toothpaste, new toothpaste - still had the taste. Rang the Water Company - the lady said could you be pregnant? And I was.

Got the taste again later - knew immediately I was pregnant.

I had girls. I had severe morning sickness throughout.

Didn't have that taste when I had my son - but could be coincidence. I had never been more well in my life when I was expecting a boy.

Both my daughters had the taste when they we're having girls. My older daughter has had two boys - didn't have the metallic taste.
