As there is a constant fluctuating level of estrogen in the woman’s body, it can lead to a nasty metallic taste in the mouth. This condition is known as Dysgeusia.
This change in sensitivity to specific scents can be blamed on the Estrogen. There is a direct connection between the sense of taste and smell. That is why both the senses are affected by this pregnancy hormone. These estrogen changes slow down in the second trimester, so the metallic taste in your mouth will go away soon.

? Sucking on Vitamin C drops can not only increase saliva in the mouth for washing off the flavor but also help in fighting off the metallic taste.
? Drink orange juice for preventing issues with stomach sensitivity and getting relief.
