Does anyone get the metallic taste with periods?

[paintfairy]

Just wondering if anyone gets the metallic taste when not pregnant but it's just hormonal or something?

I've got it really bad today. It's there if I eat or if I don't. I'm not on any medication and there's no reason for it I can tell.

I'm on CD1. Period arrived today on time. Behaving as normal. I also had spotting as normal prior to period. I did a one step test yesterday though BFN. So highly unlikely I'm pregnant.

So what else causes it?

I got the metallic taste when I had an UTI and also when I had the flu. So I guess you can get it also in other times when not pregnant.

@paintfairy I always get it during ovulation / during period! Drives me mad XX

Bizarre. It's driving me mad too. Because nothing tastes right. Lol. How annoying!
