What : What you are describing is parosmia (perverted sense of smell) which can occur with certain types of drugs, post-influenza, and rarely in certain cases of temporal lobe injury of the brain. Smell disorders usually associated with post-menopausal women are hyposmia (impaired sense of smell). This very may well have a hormonal relationship since your history suggests a cyclical pattern to it correlating with your menstrual cycle. I would first querry your ob-gyn doctor about this and if unrelated you may want to see an ENT specialist for nasal endoscopic exam and consider MRI study of brain.
