Many causes: There are many causes of a metallic taste and a change in hormone levels is one of the causes. Other causes include medications, periodontal disease, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, diabetes, infections. So it is impossible to really answer your question. A visit to, your doctor and some blood work can help you find an answer.
