Just a question...what else besides pg can cause a metallic taste in your mouth? I have been having it off and on for the past 2 weeks now. I have been on bc pills for 3 years and am good about taking them. The past 2 last periods have been really weird for me though. I just finished 7 days of light bleeding when usually they are heavy for about 3 days. The last one also came 4 days early. I have tested and bfn but we aren't planning on trying until after september. The other odd thing is that my bbs feel heavier then usual. I have had breast augmentation and have severe rippling underneath my left one...today i noticed that i don't feel the rippling at all! I also feel very bloated in my tummy and just generally icky and tired. I feel like i am still having pms symtoms even though I finished my period a week ago. I'm just concerned as my periods have been very predictible and I don't know why all of a sudden they are different. You hear the stories...everyone at work knows someone that was on bc and got pg...and didn't show up on a pg test until really late. I'm sure I'm not the only one on here thinking, "could I be one of those people??"
Thanks for listening, I think I just needed to vent more then anything. Anyone else having similar issues?

I am feeling similar to you. I couple of days ago the metallic taste started in my mouth. As I started to realize the taste it dawned on me that it was a pg taste. I have had a few other syptoms, but like you am also on the pill. I was also one of those people who conceived my DS while on BC, so I know it is a possiblity. I went out an bought a home test, because I tend to be one of those people who is not sure if I am exaggerating symptoms (since it weighs on my mind), took the test and it did not come up with any result. Very frustrating! I hope things work out for you. Just wanted you to know that you are not alone.
Phew! Thanks ladies for your replies! Nice to know I am not alone. So this morning I tested again because last night I noticed an evap line on my test from yesterday, which put a lot of questions in my mind because I couldn't tell if it was pink or not. This morning was completely white, but I worry because I got up 3 times last night to go to the bathroom. On top of that, I feel like crap today and the metallic taste is worse and driving me nuts! It feels like I have been sucking on loose change all day! And my trainer at the gym sent me home before we even started because he could tell I wasn't feeling good. Then I went to Keva and got an orange smoothie and it made me sick to my stomach. I dunno if i have a bug or what the heck is going on with me! I took my temp and I don't have a fever.
I also forgot to mention in my previous post that I have been extremely moody lately...I flipped out on my fiance last week because he scrubbed the floors. Instead of being all, "thanks honey for helping me out!" I turned into mega bitch and said, "what, am I not a good housekeeper or something??" and so on and so on. I'm not like this! I know, I know...I should just go to the dr. But when I called the dr the first time i had a weird "mini period' she said, just take a test and call me if it's positive. Am I crazy? I want a baby eventually, but not bad enough to make myself have psuedo symptoms right now. I just want to feel better again!
Thanks guys!
