There are three reasons that the scent might be as unpleasant as you are describing:
Bacterial vaginosis: "BV" caused by an overgrowth of "smelly" bacteria over the normal bacteria that is colonized down there. Smells like fish. Makes a grey discharge.
Trichomonas: A nice little protozoan (yup, microscopic mobile unicellular animal) that can live down below. Smells like garbage, sorta rancid. But sometimes not so strong. Makes a frothy discharge.
Yeast infection: White frothy discharge, smells sickly-sweet (always reminds me of beer!) itchy, itchy vag and vulva.
Holy information. What I got from this is: if your lady bits smell like bread and look like a cappucino, call your doc.

Simma down nah, ladies. Our friend has a problem with not undastandin' her body. Let's be helpful, shall we?
Dearest OP, the frank way in which you're talkin' about your chonies is givin' me the blushe. if you've got the stinkies, you probably do have an infection, call your doctor. I don't know how you already "checked" that I wouldn't be relying on no home vaginitis test kit.
Your CM should have a musky odor, for lack of a better description. It's not supposed to smell like roses. The type of CM you have can sometimes determine scent. TMI warning: My creamy CM smells slightly different than EWCM. Just the way it is, and after 10 cycles charting, I know that's normal for me. End warning. It also may not be "discharge" that you're seeing more of. Is it clear? It could be EWCM, in which case you're just fertile. I'd read up on CM in TCOYF or FF tutuorials. (Bump glossary waaaay down there on the left, sweetie.)
If none of this applies and green cottage cheesy stuff (made myself throw up) is coming out, call your doc.
BP, I nominate you to teach any and all Health/Sex Ed classes in the U.S. "If you've got the stinkies..." lol! Amazing.
