I smell sweaty.

Hello,
I have always been probably a bit more sweatier than average, however with deodrant I am usually fine.

Lately, I feel I smell quite strong. I'll put deodrant on and then 10 minutes later, I feel I can smell myself.
I'll go for a shower and half an hour larer, I feel I can smell myself.

I am 9 days late for my period. I haven't taken a test yet as I have lost my job and I am not entitled to redundancy pay because I havent worked there long enough so jon hunting all the time and i'm stressed so i'm purposely avoiding it, but if I have no period by Wednesday i'll go and get a test.

The thiught of being pregnant scares me, i'm 24 and still live with my parents and sisters and been with boyfriend for around 15 months.
So i'm panicking wondering "am i actually smelly or is my sense of smell just better??'

But thoughts? I'm getting quite insecure about it

Ask one of your sisters. You'll notice your smell more than anyone else so it could just be that, and if your feeling a bit anxious or stressed your body temp can rise which would make you smell 'more' so could be a bit of a circle... I'm sure you smell okay, you're just sensitive to it at the moment which makes it all more heightened.
Ask a sister or your mum x

Have you changed your deodorant? I thought there was something wrong with me for months before realising it was because my partner bought some eco/chemical-free version.

OhMyGodddI · 06/09/2020 20:45

@kangaShade no same deodrant! Even sitting here now watching a movie I feel sticky and hot!

@Grannyspecsandslippers i will ask them in the morning Grin

I may get a pregnancy test tomorrow. It'll put my mind at ease.

That's what sisters are for!

You know they'll tell you straight, even if it's not something you particularly want to hear Grin

I was freezing cold when I was first pregnant, but I've also smelt funny when I sweated out of fear.

If things other than you smell funny, you're probably pregnant. At work people think I'm psychic because I can tell when someone's pregnant, but it's actually that I can tell because they complain about everything smelling funny.
