Metallic taste in mouth?

Hi everyone! Mind if I join you? DH and I are TTC #2, and I have a question on symptoms -- DS is only 18 months old, and for some reason I can't for the life of me remember my previous pregnancy symptoms. My cycles are fairly regular, and based upon CM (I don't temp), I believe I ovulated around 8/5, and AF is due around 8/18. For the past few days, I have had slight cramping and lower back pain, my BBs are heavy and sore, and I have been very cranky (putting it mildly). None of this is out of the ordinary as my PMS symptoms, just a few days earlier than normal. But, since yesterday, I have had a strange metallic taste in my mouth, and that is not a normal PMS symptom. Have any of you heard of this as an early PG sign?

TIA, and I look forward to getting to know you all (hopefully on the 4/04 EC board)!

Yes! I've had that taste in my mouth for about 6 weeks.

It is a symptom. Supposed to go away in the second trimester.

But some medicines can also cause that taste.

I've had several girlfriends tell me they had a strange metallic taste in their mouth. Granted, some meds can do this or you can get that taste when you're dieting. But, could be a symptom, for sure. Best of luck! :) Missy
