A member asked:

23 y/o female with iud. nausea and metallic taste in mouth for 48 hours. should i go to urgent care/take a pregnancy test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No emergency: If you missed your period by 4-5 days, you may do a home pregnancy test. For metallic taste, try giving more attention to your oral hygiene, may be change your toothpaste, brush and floss regularly, if that does not help, you may wish to see a dentist.
