This isn't an 'am I pregnant' post, despite the fact we are TTC.
This is a genuine 'what is this?' post.
I used to think having that metal taste between ovulation and period was a pregnancy symptom and have wasted a lot of my time getting excited for it to end in tears. I got it when pregnant with the two babies we lost which is why I kept getting excited.
Therefore this must be something else. Hormonal? It tastes like I've been sucking on coins and it's horrid. It's been happening the past 3 or 4 cycles and it's driving me mad.
I have really good oral health and I eat a nutritionally balanced diet so it's not gum disease or a bad diet. It only happens in the weeks before my period.
I've googled and it only seems to be linked to early pregnancy or poor dental hygiene/diet.
Does anyone else get this? Is it linked maybe to PCOS (Which I have)?
It is sometimes linked with a very watery mouth too.
