Strange vaginal odour only on certain days of my cycle

Hoping someone may be able to help - google doesn't shed any light.

I had a miscarriage last July, and another miscarriage last month. The issue has only arisen since December (so after first miscarriage but before second pregnancy).

Just before Christmas, I noticed a strong vaginal odour - like BV (slighty fishy). No pain, no discharge or any other symptoms. I spoke to the GP, did a swab and nothing at all showed up. After a few days, the odour went away and I thought nothing of it.

Then I had the same again in January - odour for a few days, nothing else. I got pregnant that cycle, but noticed the odour occasionally with that pregnancy. I then miscarried at around 8 week and had a DC on 17 March.

I got my period very soon after - about 14 days after the D&C and I'm trying to conceive again. Yesterday evening and now today the odour is back. No discharge, no pain. Doesn't appear to have any link at all as to when we have sex. But it's noticeable and really odd. No doubt it will disappear again in a few days.

Can anyone shed any light on this? Am I the only person with intermittent fish-smelling odour? I don't know currently if it's the same days of my cycle - I'm going to start keeping a note, but as far as I can tell, I'm in the luteal phase and at least a week or so post-ovulation (though not using ovulation sticks, just based on an app).

If anyone has any ideas, please shout. I'll try and speak to GP again but I can't imagine they will have any bright ideas.
