Embarassing question for the ladies....
I know I'm not drinking enough, and I'm really trying to but my pee reeks! Actually I feel like everything is "icky". Like there's just something going on down there. Not nice! Any suggestions?

I would go to the doctor...you could have a infection. If you're sugars are low it can give your urine a funny smell.

You can buy ketone testing sticks at any drugstore; if it's ketones in your urine causing the odor they will register on the test strip.
If your urine is very dark, then it will have a very strong smell simply because it's concentrated. That's a hydration issue. If you're getting the amount of water you're supposed to drink and it has a strong odor (but it isn't dark), or you feel pain in bladder or lower back or burning when you urinate, you probably have a urinary tract infection and your doctor can fix that very quickly.
