Stronger smell.?.?

At the end of that time of the month there is a stronger smell down there. It's not horribly bad but enough to cut into my dh and I sex life. I have had an exam and was told I didn't have a yeast infection or the std's they checked for. I was wondering if it has something to do with a change in my diet of eating more vegetables, garlic, onions, spinach, etc. Or if it to do with a possible ovarian cyst. Or that after years of not wanting to have another child we decided to and he is finishing inside. Neither of us have had any problem like this before. I just would like to know what it could possibly be. It's nothing constent either it's there then it's not, but mostly it's been there for the past month. Help please.

Hi kelly2556, welcome!

I agree with sandy, meats and spicy foods and some veggies will definitely change your scent. Think about the smell of urine after eating asparagus! Ewwww! Eating more fruit, especially pineapple will make you taste and smell sweeter. It’s the same for his fluids as well so his semen could be contributing. Thanks for posting. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill

Thank you both very much I thought that was what it was but wasn't sure. I'm eating more veggies because of us wanting to have another baby, the whole healthy body for a healthy baby. I'll just add more fruit to counter act.
