I am newly married (almost 2 years)... this is my second marriage. I have never dealt with this before. The first time my husband and I were intimate (no condom) within a few weeks I noticed a fishy odor and slight discharge, I thought I may have contracted something sinister and went to my Gyno, she diagnosed me as having BV which was successfully treated. After my symptoms subsided, once again we were intimate, within 2 weeks the same symptoms showed up. Back to the Gyno I go, same meds given, within a few days, all was well. Well, it happened again, by this time I'm angry... what the heck is wrong with me? The Dr. suggested that I see a specialist, OK... now I'm getting scared already. She examined me and asked a few questions and told me... I am not compatible with my husband's semen!! Yikes. My PH gets thrown off balance by his semen, every time. I was told to douche with a vinegar/water solution after each interlude, what a buzz kill. I can not be spontaneous because I am always aware of this odor and unpleasantness, which my husband is OK with. He knows this is not my fault and he tells me not to feel bad. Othr than the usage of condoms or refraining from intercourse, or possibly using withdrawl, I don't know what to do. Please help.
