Also for the last few menstrual cycles i've had i notice that i'll get this clear thin discharge that leaks through my tampon, that smells almost like urine . do you have any idea what this could be ?

Probably it's urine: Tampons in the vagina are located right under the bladder and when the tampon fills puts pressure on the above space with urine leakage. This can also occur during the process of urination with "back flow" into the vagina. Change your tampon frequently to minimize infection risk.
