Does anyone else get a horrible yeast/bacterial infection after sex without condoms? My DH and I have recently ditched condoms and BC cause we are TTC, but everytime after we have sex I have a horrible itchy infection that lasts forever and is so uncomfortable? I joked that I am allergic to his sperm...is that possible?
Re: Weird ?
Your husband may need to get checked out, also -- it's possible to pass a bug back and forth between each other.
I don't know if he is uncircumcised but it may have something to do with it.
It could be a lube that you're using (I'd suggest 'preseed' if you're trying to conceive since it's pretty much the only one that doesn't effect sperm)
I get yeast infections pretty often though. mostly if he uses his fingers or preforms oral on me. What I find that has helped: I started taking garlic supplements and eating more yogurt...both discourage yeast growth.
Clean yourself with water, do not over clean when you have an infection. Your body cleans itself and you need to let it.
go to the doctor though and get checked out, make sure it is a yeast infection and make sure it's gone before having sex again so that you don't end up passing it back and forth.
