Fishy odor

For the past several months (or longer) while I'm having sex I notice (and so does he) a fishy odor. Sometimes it's strong. I get so embarrassed. It only happens during sex. I never smell it on a day to day basis. I decided to get a pap smear and checked for STD's. I recently got back test results and both came back negative. Nothing is wrong at all. I'm thankful for that! Really! But that doesn't explain why outta the blue I'm smelling terrible during sex. I've literally never had that happen before and I've been with the same guy for close to two years.

Could it somehow be him? What could it be?

I told the nurse that called me back about the results and she says, "It could just be normal." Ok, that is NOT normal to me!! :P

d o u c h i n g  was really like a last resort. i rarely ever use them anyway. i never really seen the point because i was told your body cleanses itself so there's no need for it.

no, we don't use condoms.

i've heard of the ph changing when having sex but wouldn't it change only after he ejaculates inside? granted that's how we have sex but the smell is there prior to ejaculation.

i still wonder if it could somehow be him and not me. i like to place blame on someone besides me haha. jk :)

Ah! Confused :(

DO NOT D O U C H E!!!!
All that does is set you up for infections, no gyno will ever tell you that is a good idea.
Having sex can change your Ph levels which can change the way you smell down there.

You mean ******? Cause I've done that even though I was told by several people not too. But I did anyway :)  I was crossing my fingers for it to work but it didn't...

The results from the pap smear showed nothing was wrong with yeast, bacteria, nothing.. I'm a big mystery! :(
