I must admit since coming on this forum, I have found more and more symptoms to spot not sure if that is a good thing, but it keeps me busy

I have a bizzare question but I am going to fire away anyway!

The metallic taste thing, being someone who has never eaten metal, I am struggling with what that would be like. I have a taste in my mouth which I can only explain as similar to that of inhailing dog poo, I will say at this point I have not sniffed any recently and I have not eaten any EVER. Could this be the taste of which people speak, and it is nicer to call it metallic than pooey?

shirleyc · 15/03/2009 17:58

LMAO.
umm sorry but what is ww..... i cant find it on the acronym list

nunnie · 15/03/2009 17:59

2 week wait!
from ovulation to AF.

shirleyc · 15/03/2009 18:00

umm no idea im afraid im assuming metal LOL maybe chew on a paperclip and get a guess? Best way i can think of, whether its safe or not is a different issue all together.....
Seriously hope its not like dog poo thats not something to look forward too

nunnie · 15/03/2009 18:01

Thats why they call it matallic, then it doesn't scare you off trying.

Liskey · 15/03/2009 18:02

Thanks for the welcome message Lissielou - I'm listening I promise!

I feel sick as well Shirley and i think thats going to be too early! When I was pregnant last year wasn't sick at all until 8 weeks gone.

I'm holding out - those tests are expensive and we're trying to save money so I really don't want to test unless AF is late.

shirleyc · 15/03/2009 18:02

ooh ok! thanks (grabs pen and jots it down in my quick ref book)

nunnie · 15/03/2009 18:03

Nunnie - I'll wait if you rpomise you will!!!!

Joycey29 · 15/03/2009 18:12

God!!Is bad typing a sign of pregnancy????

ScorpiowithabigS · 15/03/2009 18:14

it tastes like if you put old pennies in your mouth

Liskey · 15/03/2009 18:14

Wish I'd seen this thread ages ago as every month I've been sympton spotting as well.

I've 2 tests in the drawer which I've been saving - one I got free to trial and its my lucky one - e.g. to take when i think i really really am and the other is to take just when I think i might be. Makes perfect sense really.

I've been trying to take my temperature each morning but its really not working due to my poor sleeping pattern - therefore I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
