Funny Taste In Mouth

[julybabe84]

Ok so we all know metallic/copper/blood like taste in the mouth is quite a common symptom of pregnancy, however I wondered if anyone else has experienced soap like taste in the mouth?

I returned from Spain 6 days ago and since then everything I have eaten has tasted like soap. At first I thought something was wrong with the take-away we had got but even things I have cooked myself taste of soap and OH doesn't have this problem. Well today I haven't eaten yet and I have the taste in my mouth although today i would say its more metally than soapy.

I have googled this and come up with 2 possible reasons - 1 is fluoride poisoning which can be solved by changing toothpaste and not drinking tap water. Fair enough but I've not changed toothpaste since before I went away and I've only drunk tap water after it has been boiled in the kettle so surely that would've taken the flouride out it? The second possibility showing up is that it can be a sign of pregnancy and I have read of some girls experiencing it past 26 weeks.

I had an acidic taste for a little while in 3rd Tri. Have you tested?

It could be something you ate/drank while in Spain or it could just be a PG symptom! Hope it's the latter, good luck xo

AF due tomorrow and I am scared to test as I can't bear the thought of another BFN. Sounds odd especially coming from me as normally I test and test and test far too early maybe because I don't have any in the house I have resisted temptation. Also the last 2 cycles I have tested in the morning and AF has shown the same afternoon lol.

Think I'll buy a test tomorrow and hold off till Saturday to test.

I've never had that before. Maybe it's a weird pregnancy symptom for you? Everyone's taste buds change when pregnant and yours may be different from the next woman's. I would test!

Think I'll head to tesco on way home from mum's, if I have time, waiting on mum coming back from her meeting, I have to go back to the shop I bought Owen's school uniform from this morning as I got to mum's and realised one of the sweatshirts is the wrong size and OH forgot to take a key to work so I need to be home for 4 or he'll be left sitting out in the pouring rain lol.

You sound like you have pregnancy brain as well! I'm being serious. When I was pregnant with my first I was clumsy and forgetful lol. Hopefully everything leads to a nice BFP! I hope your test is positive hun!
