Akward Q and TMI
Hello Ladies.
This is akward for me to ask, but I trust that you will help me. I have been on BC for 6 1/2 years. I recently went off it to TTC with my husband. We have been having sex for 6 years with no complaints. Now that I am off BC, I have a strong "musky" smell down there. It is so strong that MH and I couldn't finsih having sex last night. He is not turned on by the smell and it was too strong for him.
I was wondering if there was anything I could do to make the smell less potent, or maybe just mask it all together? Also, is this normal? I have never been this musky before. I wonder if it is from going off BC and if it will last forever.
Thank you in advance for any help you may have.
Re: Akward Q and TMI
Check with your doc to make sure the smell isn't a symptom of anything fishy (no pun intended), just to be safe...
If everything is in order health-wise, it may go away as PP have suggested, as your hormones adjust. If that still doesn't happen, you can shower before sex and clean up really well immediately before to stave it off.
If this only turned up after you went off of BC, then going back on it will theoretically turn the funky smell off. Therefore, worst case, you'll only have to deal with it temporarily, while you're TTC/pg/etc. Then it's behind you!
