TMI -TTC and Bad smell?

Question

Hi ladies...

this is an embaressing and gross question so please don't make any rude comments. My fiance and I are ttc for our first baby, and we had our first time yesterday. Since then, there is this aweful smell from me down there, and I don't know what to do about it. Is it just his sperm? When I went to the bathroom after, some of it did fall out, but obviously there was some left in there (well hopefully anyways).. I have never had unprotected s*x before, is this normal to have this revulting smell?

thanks!

Answer 1

I know this is tmi and kind of grosse but after s*x, It does smell it's kind of a salty fishy smell and that is normal.

Answer 2

No it isn't normal. It sounds like maybe you have bacterial vaginosis (BV).

This isn't an STD infection and it's not routinely tested for. It is caused by a disruption in the PH balance 'down there'. The change in PH kills off 'good bacteria' and then it's easy to become infected.

With this being the first time you have had unprotected s*x it's possible that his sperm just upset your PH balance. Don't be alarmed, it's very common.

Try using tee-tree oil when washing. Go to a doctor. Most likely they will do a smear, if it is BV it can be detected instantly. They can give you anti-biotics which should work straight away. Sometimes it only requires one treatment but they will discuss this with you.

It can't be spread to your partner so don't worry about that.

Hope this helps.  

Answer 3

You should go to the doctor because you can have an infection. The bad smells always mean something isnt right.  

Answer 4

Revolting smells are never normal.

You and your partner should be checked for infections.  

Answer 5

It is normal to smell after s*x, but it shouldnt be revolting. Try a get a warm washcloth and clean yourself down there. Even if you took a shower it could still have an odor. If doesnt improve you might have yeast infection.
