What could it be?

I go to the OBGYN regularly and get tested for everything including HIV, but lately my vagina smells funny to me. I don't have abnormal discharge, a yeast infection or a bacterial infection just a funny smell. My doctor even said he didn't find anything wrong I'm STD free is it all in my mind or could it be my diet and or stress?

Answer:
It could be your diet. Eliminate onions, garlic, curry, etc. Drink plenty of water and do a detox program (like the products at health food store). See if that helps - if not then maybe an herbalist can inform you of something to nutralize your body.
Could be diet, stress, or both. Thankfully you are healthy, so this should reduce some of your stress. As far as diet, try cutting things out that might bother your system. Like try going dairy free for a week and see if things improve. No? Then try cutting out something else. Also, keep your vagina clean and dry using pantiliners in the day and no undies at night.
Through out the day your vagina sweats which creates an oder but its normal.
Do you eat asparagus? 25% of the population gets a "funny smell" when urinating after eating asparagus. I just googled to see if I were anywhere close and I was!

Excerpt from my source:

"The smell is supposed to be a metabolite of one of the constituents of asparagus - and I'm sure it is but they say the metabolite in question is methyl mercaptan which is said to be the smelliest substance known and is also used to make natural gas smelly. I cannot speak for anyone else of course but after eating asparagus my pee smells more like metal polish than mains gas. So I think it is something else - according to the Michigan Asparagus Advisory Board (God Bless 'em) "a few individuals ... claim that the odiferous compound is asparagine-amino-succinic-acid monoamide, which is derived from the amino acid, asparagine". I cannot say for sure. Keep eating the asparagus, anyway."
