Way! too much information but need opinions?!
Question: Ok so im not a girl with her first period lol I have had mine for 8 years so I know whats going on 99% of the time but I just went to the bathroom and my period smells overwhelmingly like onions. (like those green onions) I have never had it smell like that and am wondering what is causing it. I HAVE NOT EATEN ONIONS so I know its not that. I shower everyday so its not that im not clean. Why do I smell like that.
(BTW i wasnt like smelling my pad lol I could smell it as soon as I sat on the toilet)

onion like smell to me says strong bad acidic smell. odor is an indicator of a bacterial infection. since the smell is strong i would call the gyn because it means there is a fairly good amount down there. and schedule for the day after your period ends (unless they'll examine you during your period) but it probably has nothing to do with your period.
if you let it go it will probably get worse or you could get sick or pass it to others. it's worth checking out.
hopefully it's just a bad yeast infection.
This could be a symptom indicating infection (an example only), but the only way to know for sure what's going on is to see your doctor for further evaluation of the situation to see what they think is going on.
Nothing our bodies can do surprises me anymore. I wouldn't worry about it. It just is what it is. It doesn't sound like anything to worry about at all. Now the pill...that another thing. Hear me out please. Your body is supposed to be regulating your hormones, this is how you were designed. Often the pill is used to force periods to be regular, as well as protect from pregnancy. I
