I am experiencing a fishy smell in my vagina that has been consistent for the last 3 days and seems to get stronger during sexual activity. I am sexually active, not using any medications, and I am 21 years old. I have some itching but no burning, soreness, or swelling. I have had vaginal dryness and no visible discharge currently. What could be the cause of this smell and what can I do about it?

Me and my husband have been trying to conceive. This month I missed my period and am on day 4. I had light pink spotting earlier and dark brown spotting today, otherwise nothing. My breasts are sore and I feel very tired. I took a pregnancy test, but it was negative. I have never missed my period before. Is it possible I will test positive in a few more days? My cycle is 29+\\- days. I am 24 years old, my last period was June 12-16, and I have had spotting between cycles but very rarely. I also experience cramping in my lower abdomen, feeling very tired, and had a lot of very watery clear discharge prior to my period, now having sticky white discharge but very minimal. I am on a biologic medication called Entyvio for ulcerative colitis.
