I am so serious that we are way too much alike. Message me!!

My sister had the same problem with her husband a year ago when they were trying to conceive. Her Gynecologist told her to try having sex at least four times a week to see if her body could built up a resistance to her husbands semen. That didn't work so she went through a myriad of tests to try and diagnose her condition. None of which were conclusive.

It ended up that she didn't have an allergy to his semen at all. Before even considering IUI or IVF she insisted her husband get himself checked out too. And the plot thickens...His body was actually killing off all his little unborn children! I'm not exactly sure what caused this, but I do know he was put on steroids. Apparently it worked because I'm going to be a Aunt in 6 more weeks.

OMG - I have this issue! the second time my husband (boyfriend at the time) had sex where his semen came into contact with my pink bits (first was broken condom, second was after we took that big removal of the latex step), I broke out in the worst hives ever. That's how allergies work, by the way - your first exposure won't give you, an allergic attack, as your body doesn't know anything about the allergen yet). I get random hive attacks from things like really chlorinated pools, so at first I thought it could be something else (laundry soap? something I ate?), but I continued to get burning sensations, and occasionally, comically over swollen labia. Especially if it had been a while since my last "exposure" (specifically, after summer vacation and such). The allergist I went to said I had probably narrowed it down correctly, said something about it being a blood type thing (I am A, he is B....so maybe?).

So I just make sure I get exposed every few days and it keeps it under control I know I am lucky that it's a low level allergy, as I have read the stories online of throats swelling shut and such. I have recently been thinking I should get an epi-pen to carry onto play dates, or have at home incase the allergy takes a rapid turn for the worst (which can happen), just in case. I haven't bothered yet as body fluid exchange with outside partners is not ok and so not something I should be expecting to happen - but the safety geek in me is starting to think I should always be prepared in case of a random drop in my eye or nose or something.

Dunno about the smell, however.

So my advice, and take it with a grain of salt cuz everyone is different, is to try and get exposure every 48 hours or so and monitor what's happening with your allergic response. If you're lucky, it'll be low level and maybe you'll be similar to me and find it dimishes in severity over time. Now a days its very rare that I get the burning, and I never get hives or swollen labia. I do miss the swollen labia, they were so freaking funny. It was just the inner ones and they swelled like 10 times in size. it was like I had a different vagina all of a sudden

Ok, sheew I wasn't going to post the details but I have the same issue. Exposure of oh say 8 to 14 times a week for ten years has not changed it. I did not do it before my hubby, or with other people. Only him. He is a non smoker, and has the same blood type as me. It took me forever to figure it out and to have a Dr that believed me.

I am not making fun of this at all, but this is pretty mind blowing to me. As animals, we are really only designed to do a few specific things.

But apparently my husbands sperm isn't supposed to enter my vagina. Anyway...I don't want a start a big debate or anything...but I honestly wonder if it has to do with the abundance of anthrax, etc, etc shots he has received in the military.
