Since 2-3 days everything tastes so bland to me, even my fav chai feels like nothing yaar. Period bhi thoda late hai so im wondering if this could be a sign. Anyone felt this before testing?
It is totally normal dear, the hormonal changes in early weeks can make everything taste like metal or cardboard. Try sipping thoda lemon water or chewing ginger candies, it really helps to clear that weird taste.
Actually yes, my pregnancy tracking app noted this as a common symptom around week 5 itself! It happens due to estrogen levels fluctuating, and the tracker suggested taking citrus fruits to get the taste back.
Starting me my tongue felt totally lifeless and bland, honestly. My MIL gave me amla ka achaar to eat and it worked wonders to change my taste so quickly, u can also try small bites.
I had this exact issue and actually asked the senior gynaecologist during my first consult at Cloudnine. She said it is called dysgeusia and told me to keep sipping fluids, so definitely check with your care team if it bothers u too much.
Because of my PCOS, I was hyper-aware of every symptom and experienced this tasteless mouth early on. It can be a positive sign, but best to do a home test or check with your doctor to confirm everything safely.
