Does having a metallic taste in your mouth mean your pregnant?!
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Not necessarily: Metallic taste in the mouth is not a common or specific symptom of pregnancy. However, if you strongly feel you may be pregnant, this is easily ruled out by having a pregnancy test done.

Not always, & it can: Common in first trimester of pregnancy, "dysgeusia". Estrogen levels fluctuate during pregnancy & may cause it. Sometimes lemonade, vinegar or pickles can help. Sour, salt & citrus can increase saliva production & help stop the taste. Rinse your mouth & brush tongue with a mild salt or baking soda solution (a teaspoon per glass of water) a few times a day to neutralize ph levels in your mouth.

Not necessarily..: Other conditions, including certain medications, can cause a metallic taste. Why guess? Take a pregnancy test.
