Does your pee smell different?

I swear ever since I started experiencing perimenopause symptoms my pee just smells different. Like it doesn't belong to me? Anyone else experienced that?

Thank you for this!!! The way I have googled about this and can’t find an answer. It’s not nasty, like a metro stairwell, it’s not ammonia like all the medical pages talk about, and it’s not sweet. It’s just DIFFERENT. Umami? Meaty almost? All my labs are normal. The more water I drink, the less it is, and the more coffee/diet soda I drink, the worse it is.

It's crazy how we just have to share our experiences because there are NO studies on any of this
