I was curious but dh and i have been togather for 15 years and i noticed from the first time we had unprotected sex that if i just wiped and went to sleep the next day i have a nasty fishy odor.This never happens with protected sex or if he does not finish.I also dont notice it if we dtd early in the day and im up walking around its really just over night.Could this be a sign that his semen is making my ph jump really high or something?
sex + fishy smell usually = bacterial vaginosis. It sounds bad but what it is is an overgrowth of bad bacteria and less good bacteria in the vaginal canal. I've had it before and to be honest I think I may be fighting it off again as we type...LOLQuote:

I also use hydrogen peroxide down there as well...kinda tingles but it also kills the bad bacteria. These are also the things I use to get rid of unwanted GBS during pregnancy as well. Also- ACV works at ridding bacteria. :D Hope this helps!!
Its not BV as i have had that before and that odor never went away no matter how much i showered yuck! Plus i have had 6 babies in this period and my dr tests for bv and i have always been negative.I seriously think it does something to my ph.
I would have to agree that it DEF sounds like BV. I have had it like 10x with my first pregnancy....I could NEVER seem to get rid of it no matter what and it always came back, I think it could have to do with your pH being messed up (esp if you are swaying)....
popping in a clove of garlic has always done the trick for me as well.
Ok so i did google this and seeing how its not possible i have had bv for 16 years lol it seems that its just the normal vg flora and the semen growing bacteria and its pretty common. Laying down all night the left over deposit just is prime for growing funk and like i said i do not notice the smell when im up and walking around after because all the semen is coming out.
YAY! That makes me feel better! I have had this after leaving the semen inside of me all night long as well and I automatically assumed that it was BV. It's good to know...thank you :)Quote:

Have you tried testing your pH in the morning after BD unprotectedly?
No i have never done that....it would probably say "Ph is off the charts high please begin shopping for blue crib bedding" lol I should though!Quote:

PS - He would DIE if he knew I just wrote that hahahahahaha
HAHAHAHAHA! I'm seriously laughing so hard!!!Quote:

lol, if I have this sort of problem I get one of those scented liners for my knickers and put that in - the thin ones, not a proper pad
Happens to me too, every time. Makes me want to gag. He ate asparagus one time and it just about killed me! He's banned from asparagus for life. He already knows I talk about him all the time online. My poor DH...he's really a trooper.Quote:

This happens with us after eating... dairy. Hubbies family has a history of lactose itolerance and everytime he has any type of dairy and we DTD it smells. He refuses to get tested for the intolerance.
I get this too! Its so bad I just got my BV result back and its neg! Eek I can't believe I am going to have to put up with this every month! I never used to get this problem. My ph is always 4.8 in the morning x
I don't think it's a sign either way, just one of those nutty things that our bodies put us through! ;)Quote:
