Metallic taste

63 replies

KatieA1234 · 01/12/2020 16:14

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

[quote KatieA1234]@Anonymous2345 ahh that’s good news! It could definitely be implantation bleeding. Haha it’s so blummin stressful isn’t it 🙈

I’m okay thankyou, still got the metallic taste and had waves of feeling sick today, might take a test in the morning just cause I’m so impatient 🙈🤣 swear I must spend a fortune on tests! And I told myself I wasn’t stressing myself out about it this time around 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 x[/quote]
@KatieA1234 hopefully it is. Just don't want to get my hopes up anymore then they already are lol

And that's a good sign. I don't have the metallic taste anymore so I'd say it's a good sign that you do! I get to impatient and hate waiting so I'd defiantly test in the morning. So frustrating isn't it. Kind of feel like your not alone with this tho x

[quote KatieA1234]@Anonymous2345 hmm how strange! I’d say it could still be implantation bleeding? I’d see how it goes in the next couple of days and if it stops I’d take another test xx[/quote]
@KatieA1234 it's barely even there anymore now. The cramps are still there but they are very minimal. But now there's just very very light tinge to toilet roll🤷‍♀️ honestly have no idea what's going on lol🤯

How are you getting on x

@KatieA1234 What I thought could have been an early lighter period has now faded off into the light brown again😩🤯 have no clue what's going on now x

Yeah, just really thought this was it. Been taking seven seas trying for a baby, used ovulation tests and negative in the morning and then positive the evening. Don't really understand the cycle and how it works lol but tried when my app told me to and felt things I thought was it.

Just devastated, I still keep telling myself it's still got a brown tinge to it and it's not as heavy as my normal period but that doesn't mean a thing lol x

[quote KatieA1234]@Anonymous2345 oh bless you 😞 what cycle day are you on? Is it still just spotting or has it got heavier?x[/quote]
Well it's not quite a period. It's the same amount as the brown spotting but just redder so I believe that's my month over now. I'm not sure as to cycle as all over place x

This will be baby number 5 for us but all pregnancies have been different. I also have sore boobs a little n a bad head but not sure if it's all just the build up to af, I suppose only time will tell. 🤞 For all of us.

@KatieA1234 I’ve been off the pill since the end of April so I’m not sure where anything is in my cycle it changes most months just hoping this is it. I keep reading people stories where they’ve had mild cramping brown spotting and back ache and got very excited. Now added with the metallic taste I’m getting ahead of myself and worried for BFN or period 😞x

@Anonymous2345 I tested this morning with a cheap test and got a BFN so trying to hold off till at least Friday, my periods have been abit all over since I came off my pill but I think I’m due on around Saturday x
