2ww - food tasting funny a sign?

[wavescrash]

I hate to keep bugging y'all in the first tri section with 2ww questions but who better to answer them?? Plus I haven't gotten any response in the 2ww section so I thought I'd come here and ask.


Has anyone else had this as a positive symptom in previous pregnancies? I don't really recall it with any of mine but it's definitely a first for me in my 2ww.

Two days ago for breakfast I made myself a smoothie but it tasted really bitter when it should have been a little more sweet. I took 2 sips before dumping it out. So then I made myself scrambled eggs with cheese and it tasted funny too. It tasted too strongly of something but I can't quite figure out what it was. It tasted a little bitter as well. I forced myself to eat most of it but wound up dumping the rest.

Yesterday, I forget what I was eating but it just tasted blah, bland. Some other things tasted too sweet (a donut and Kit Kat bar, but tasted way sweeter than normal.) This morning my peanut butter toast tasted super bland when the PB normally tastes a little sweet to me. I don't even want to finish eating it.

However, I've been testing 3 days now and not really seeing anything. Used an IC at 10dpo, though my urine was a little too dilute-looking, I thought I saw a faint line but nobody else saw it. 11dpo testing with FMU that was so dilute it was almost clear so I saw absolutely nothing on my IC. Held for several hours and tested again later that day, thought I seriously saw the faintest shadow of a second line and several other people thought they saw it too. Tested yesterday at 12 dpo with FMU with an IC and a FRER, didn't really see anything. Held for over 9 hours while I was at work yesterday & tested on an IC & FRER when I got home but I don't think there's anything there. I kind of see a line on the FRER when I tweak it but sometimes I see it, sometimes I don't so I'm going to say it's probably not actually there.

But I can't knock the fact that my food tastes weird...


So I'm just curious if food tasting funny was a positive symptom for anyone else since it's a new one for me?

My food tasted funny. I kept thinking things were off even though they'd just been bought.
Good luck I hope its a good sign for you x

Thanks, me too! It's also leaving weird after tastes in my mouth. I wouldn't say I have that metallic taste everyone talks about but stuff is just tasting weird, off or bitter.

I never got the metallic taste, it was just everything I made tasted like the main ingredient was off!
It lasted about a week, then kind of vanished and a week later I found out I was pregnant and 2 weeks along (we weren't actively trying more we weren't trying NOT to have a baby, just letting nature take its course as it were) x

I'm due for my period tomorrow so I imagine I should have some noticeably faint line by now. Last month (it ended in a chemical pregnancy) I got my faint line on an IC around 12 dpo and then 13 dpo I got a BFP on a FRER so the fact that I've got nothing yet has me worried so I was really hoping this food tasting funny was a sign lol.

Ill keep my fingers crossed for you, let me know how you get on! x

i dont have a lingering taste in my mouth or any metallic taste however, everything seems so salty to me.

I have been having some hot sauce cravings, so on three different occasions within a week I had some hot sauce...3 different types and by the time i am half way through whatever I am eating with the hot sauce I cant finish because its so darn salty.

Thanks!

I know this isn't the place to post this but if anyone wouldn't mind confirming what I see or confirming that I've gone blind & crazy... I'd appreciate it.

From top to bottom it's 10dpo, 11dpo, 12dpo, 13dpo - today's test is the one on the bottom. It's really faint but I actually see something that's not on the other tests. But if you don't see it either, that's fine... let me know.

I saw it so clearly (though it's faint) when I tweaked it. Now that I've posted it though, I don't see it so clearly so maybe it is all in my head lol.

EDIT- I shrunk it because in Photoshop I saw it better with the smaller version than in fullsize.
