Would a penicillin allergy put you off?

[Louis2016]

If everything else was 'perfect'. I'm talking about the sperm donor having it, it isn't a massive deal is it?

Allergies are hereditary, not genetic but I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

My DD is donor egg & donor sperm & guven how thorough the clinic trst for absolutely everything else including HPV, Cystic fibrosis and so on, a penicillin allergy would not break the deal for me.

Just thinking....if donor has been honest about that, it's fair to say he's a good character.

I've got a penicillin allergy and it has made no difference to my life, so unless it indicates anything else, no.

I'm allergic to penicillin. Managed to survive 34yrs so far....

Another here with penicillin allergy. It's not a problem in my life as there are many other things that can be prescribed instead and it's not something I worry about whenever I go somewhere new, like I might with a severe food allergy. (DS has no penicillin allergy thus far and does have a significant food allergy, which is way more effort than asking for a different antibiotic when I'm ill.)

Wouldn't bother me at all on a donor card. Good luck!

I'm allergic to penicillin too and it's never caused me any issues. There are other antibiotics.

At least you are forewarned and it doesnt necessarily follow that dc will have it. Dh has a penicillin allergy. Neither of the dc have it

My ex dh has a penicillin allergy as do both my DC, it hasn't really been an issue, just have to use different anti biotics

My 7 year old dd is allergic to penicillin. It's caused no issues at all except Needing a different antibiotic on the one occasion she had a toe infection.

My allergy to penicillin was due to repeated use (had been prescribed it five times in about ten/twelve weeks). Up until the last course, I had been fine having it throughout childhood.

So, might be a developed allergy as well.

A lot of people are allergic to penicillin, but there are a lot of other antibiotics to chose from now. It has not had a nagative impact on my DSis or DS.

Would you be put off having a child with a "real life" man who was allergic to penicillin if everything else was perfect?

Allergies are hereditary, not genetic

Eh? Hereditary and genetic are the same thing. Physical traits are inherited through genes.
