About this symptom

Strong Smelling Urine

During early pregnancy urine may become darker in colour and/or have a stronger or different smell than usual – be sure to drink plenty of water (at least 8 glasses a day). If you are experiencing any pain you should speak with your doctor as it could also be a sign of a urinary tract infection. This change in smell or strength may also be due, in part, to an increased sense of smell some women experience in very early pregnancy.

Includes: Strong or foul smelling or if the odour is unusual for you

At 8 dpo I noticed this weird strong smell. Way different than UTI or anything else.
