Does anyone else notice a slight fishy smell when discharge comes through?! I’m getting clear discharge but I noticed my underwear smelt a bit funny the other day and now I’m super paranoid.

It’s my first time on Estarylla and I’m trying to skip my period but I’m still cramping and having symptoms. Is this normal or am I going to start anyway?🙃

Coincidently since I started the pill last month things have changed which I knew would happen obviously but how long did symptoms last for you when you took the pill?
