I got this when i was pregnant with both off my dds BUT recently i have been having a weird metallic taste in my mouth a few days before i am due on. Puts the fear of God in me that i have one in the oven again.

I get this when I'm due on - so it maybe the opposite of being pregnant!!

Cctually thinking about it, I hadn't been eating much in the way of carbohydrates and after I ate pasta cheese one evening it did start getting better. I think I had googled and found ketosis as one possible reason.

I had that a few months ago.

I wasn't pregnant .

I do take ADs and have many fillings so maybe it was due to one or other of them. It went away again anyway. Not that that is much help to you but it doesn't necessarily mean pregnancy.

yy I know, I meant 'another virus'. Rather than herpes, which we all already had as coldsores.
Anyway it was vile, we couldn't eat, everything tasted so awful.

Only ever had that when preg or on zopiclone sleeping tabs. So going by my experience if you aint on the tabs then test! But am sure there are more reasons...

I'm really sorry but "sour/metallic taste " was excatly what i had one week before my af due, that never arrived i'm now 22 weeks pregnant. Just IME.

If there is a chance i'd test.
