This post is…gonna be something, so bear with me please.

This started after my injection dosage got increased from once a week (doesn’t work for me with valerate, apparently) to twice a week. I finally got proper E levels and, well…something changed.
What I mean by that is…I started smelling a fish-like odor when sitting down or just being naked in general. Weird, I thought. It was, of course, coming from my nether regions…

It got stronger. It got worse. It gets way worse the sweatier I am, so during summer, it was quite unbearable. This is NOT a hygiene issue. Even though I fucking hate doing it, I wash quite often. I wash and then, the next day, it’s back…so I wash again and all it takes is a single day for it to come back. Jeez…

It’s unpleasant. I don’t like the smell. I really wish I could describe it as anything else…but no, it’s literally just straight up fish, it’s not urine. This has NEVER happened to me pre-HRT. Back then, I’ll admit I didn’t take hygiene that seriously, and so I think I had a normal cis-man smell (ew). But now…this is nothing like that! It’s literally just fish! 😭

I should probably get this checked out. It’s not an UTI, I think, but I don’t think this is normal…I guess I’m just asking if anyone has had a similar experience. It’s just really strange, overall…

So sorry for this post, this is gross af 😭

TL;DR: I, umm…have the pre-OP version of bacterial vaginosis? /s
