"   Question I\u2019m 28 and female. I\u2019ve been with my boy friend for six years.  But for the past two years I have been unable to have sex without condoms as it stings and burns inside especially when he comes \u2013 for several hours afterwards. I\u2019ve been to the doctor and have had all the regular tests and they have told me that nothing is wrong.  Can you offer me any advice as we would like to try for a baby soon \u2013 and we cannot do this while using a condom.   Answer A small proportion of women are allergic to seminal fluid \u2013 not to all seminal fluid, but to the fluid of particular men. So it sounds quite likely that you are allergic to your boyfriend&amp;#039;s semen. I very much doubt if the doctor has tested for this \u2013 unless they actually had a sample of your partner&amp;#039;s semen, which is most unlikely. However, it would be possible to get tests done \u2013 for instance, at an allergy clinic. One thing they might want to do is to put a tiny drop of your man&amp;#039;s ejaculate on your skin \u2013 and then see if a reaction develops. Regrettably, in 2010 allergy clinics are few and far between. However, you could do a very simple test for yourself.  Just put a drop of your partner\u2019s semen on your forearm \u2013 and see if this causes a an itchy, reddish or darkish bump. If it does, then you are definitely allergic to the liquid. Your GP may be able to refer you to a hospital specialist who could help you. . But whether you are allergic or not, it seems likely that you&amp;#039;ll just have to use condoms (male or female) for the foreseeable future, apart from when you&amp;#039;re actually trying to conceive.  As far as anyone knows, this kind of allergy should not prevent you from becoming pregnant, even if it is painful and unpleasant for you. An alternative \u2013 though it would be difficult and expensive \u2013 would be to try to conceive by having your man\u2019s sperm inseminated directly into your womb, or by using IVF.
