was smelling like pancakes (due to fenugreek ?) 

Yes that was fenugreek for sure. It doesn't have that effect on everyone, but it's quite common for people taking fenugreek to complain about it.

Oh I know it was that, but while I didn't hate it, I hated others noticed it. 

I actually noticed within the first couple days I started smelling it, but it wasn't my BO, it was it I ate asparagus but that fenugreek smell instead. I think having good lymph drainage/open detox pathways helps in that regard now, but I'm not a total expert on that subject either
