Metallic taste in mouth from CD14

Hi, can’t wait to hear all your thoughts/advise/ideas/suggestions on this.

Long story short, after having 25-27 day cycles, I begun taking Maca, Vitex and wild yam root preemptively for fertility. My most recent was 29 days, perhaps for this reason.

I had an absolute mare with cheap lh sticks this cycle but I was under the impression I ovulated on CD11/12 (had BD on CD10&12 but no more days due to our schedules)- this could definitely be wrong though! Since CD16 I have been taking a whole bunch of pregnancy tests and they have all been negative. On CD18 I got a blue dye test with what I think is an evap line (photo attached). And all the other tests have been negative.

Most symptoms I’ve had could definitely be in my head, although the metallic taste I’ve had in my mouth since CD14 could not- this appeared before I had even begun to consider being pregnant! And it hasn’t subsided!

Any ideas welcome!

Oh fingers crossed then! I’ve been unknowingly pregnant before (years ago) which ended in miscarriage and I don’t really remember this symptom. One final test in the morning before I wait for AF to come!

You're pregnant - there is a cross in the window. The metallic taste in your mouth would back this up too!

I really hope so- but ALL the tests I’m doing now are negative. And that cross appeared a while after I did the test, leading me to think it was more evap. Only time will tell but I am definitely expecting my period in the next few days :(

I'm in the exact same position at you OP. Metallic taste, AF not shown, one BFP and all the others negative.
AF only one day late so far, so I'm expecting her soon . Keep us updated xxxx

AF arrived 😔

GlitterSparkle85 · 09/10/2019 20:38

Ohhhh nooooo!

That test is an evap not a positive.

What cd are you on just now? Could be too early still
