I'm so glad I'm not alone!!! (8w3d)
I just noticed it yesterday, and I was like "WTF I JUST showered!!!" I bought some clinical strength deoderant in hopes that it will help :(

You're probably the only person that can smell you!

Me too!!! I take two showers a day, and some times a bath in between and I still feel yucky. :( It doesn't help that I sleep a lot and I feel sick all the time. I'm hoping it'll pass. I'm 12wk tomorrow.

I'm 10w2d and think the same thing. I kept asking my sister if I smelled and she thought I was insane, so I think it's just an elevated sense of smell or something. My regular scented deodorant was making me so nauseous everytime I moved and caught a wiff that I ended up just buying men's unscented deodorant to ease my neurosis about smelling, haha.
