My period is so heavy I can taste blood in my mouth

Why?

You can smell it?

Is that why? I’d didn’t know.
Do we taste it when we smell it?

Are you anaemic ? Sometimes that can give you a funny metal taste in your mouth.

Yep another wondering if it's because you can smell the blood.
Have you seen a gp if it's a regular occurance?
Mefenamic acid (Ponstan) is a game changer for very heavy periods if you can take it.
Sympathies OP, Mine are heavy too.

Yep! Have you ever had a smell, normally a nasty one, stick in your throat and you know it's not physically there anymore but you can still smell it and sometimes taste it. dog shit i'm thinking of
