“Can I be pregnant?”
My symptoms are: when I drink water it tastes like I'm drinking water with nickels in it. When I eat certain things it tastes werid, I also have a weird aftertaste even when I brush my teeth or mouth wash. My last period was Febuaury 2nd or 3rd and ended on the 15th. I did have unprotected sex on a few of my ovulation days. So my question is, could i be pregnant?

Hello. So, rather then stress about being pregnant, pregnancy tests today are super accurate and relatively cheap, therefore, running to the store and getting a test is super easy and can answer your question in 1 minute. Of course, this does not answer the question on why things taste weird and like metal. One thing to do is get a test to make sure you don't have anemia. Otherwise, I am unsure why things taste like metal, although, blood will taste like iron and this could be another reason. I hope that this helps.
