My vagina gets a mild fishy odor, but it only happens right before i get my period. ive gotten tested at obgyn and its all normal. could it be my period changing my smell?

The fishy smell around menstruation is common with BV - bacteroal vaginosis. You have to be tested specifically for BV at the time of the symptoms to have a diagnosis. BV is often misdiagnosed.
