Metallic taste in mouth and a spotting incident

Anon_127655 posted:
Could these two incidences be related? I've been noticing a metallic taste for the past two weeks and had an episode of vaginal spotting. My boyfriend does have HSV-2 and we have had unprotected sex. Also, I've been under some stress lately. Just some background....Other than that everything has been normal. Regular periods, dr visits etc.. I have a regular exam scheduled for a few weeks, but I'm thinking I should move it up. Any insight would help relieve some anxiety. I'm just putting all of this together. Thanks!
