fishy odor + cramps?

I'm 5wks 4dys. Yesterday I noticed some moderate cramping with no blood or any unusual discharge. Over the passed few days ive been noticing a fishy odor that seems to have gotten worse.

I tried making an appointment with my doctor but no one will see me until im 8wks. I read in a few places that the odor could be caused by BV which is linked to miscarriage.
what should I do? I guess im just worrying myself crazy over here. thanks!

Yeah the cramps are normal and your body changed during pregnancy sometimes women just end up smelling funky down there. If you're worried id go to quick care or your primary dr and test for yeast infection. I've never heard of Bv causing a miscarriage though. best advice anyone gave me as a ftm is to stay off google. Does more harm than good.

If it smells fishy it could be yeast infection they should see u right away to check so u can get some antibiotics but in mean time try drinking some cranberry juice and water to clean ur system out

I think its the cramping that worrys me the most. I just got checked 3 months ago and got a clean bill of health from planned parenthood & my partner and I have been together for a while now so no std's.
