Since TTC no.2 with my husband and after using condoms for years prior, I forgot how smelly it gets down in them there lady bits following each session.

I reek :-( usually for about 2 days but the day after dtd the night before I am paranoid I smell like a walking fish counter and find the smell horrid myself. It's so strong. And itchy.

I know it's his sperm reacting with my hormoneywhateveries, but seriously. Does anyone else have this right now?
I shower in the morning & use thin 'dailies' type towels the next day or so but I am ridiculously paranoid that people sitting right next to me at work can smell it and god knows what they think.

Is there anything I can do to stop this whiff? Is it a natural part of ttc or am I having some kind of problem here?

I'd get that checked out at the Gp. I don't think it's usual to smell, and certainly not to itch.

No, have never noticed this at all. Sounds like you have an infection.

Get checked out.

You can submit a self-taken swab in most places now - your GP surgery should be able to give you 'supplied'.

A 'fishy' smell can be associated with Trichomonas, but could be any number of other things.

I don't remember a particular smell when TTC either.

Get checked, then you can stop worrying Smile

To be honest I don't notice any kind of smell after showering. Maybe you have an infection?
