First of all the reasons for her reaction should have been quite obvious to anyone, but most especially the doctors. It is obscene that the doctors were so incompetent (or greedy) that they didn't consider an allergic reaction, especially since she never had a problem while using protection.
Secondly, this guy is a bit of an a*****e.
Her suffering would last for weeks after the couple had sex, and sometimes blisters appeared
So even knowing that sex was causing her such pain that she would blister up, he continued to submit her to the suffering?
Also can someone be allergic to one man's sperm and not another?
All joking aside about grilled cheese sandwiches I wonder if she did or would experience similar reactions if the semen came into contact with anything other than her vagina.
Are those who are allergic to sperm react to it if it comes into contact with the skin or mouth or ??

Great reference to grilled cheese. I just about spit a mouthful of tea on my monitor.
How can someone be allergic to sperm? Seriously WTF is happening to human beings that get blisters instead of preggers?

another question...
I used to be severely allergic to cats until circumstances occurred which led to me living with a cat. After a while I became acclimated to the cat and was no longer strongly allergic to them.
Would small and multiple applications of sperm cause her body to no longer consider the sperm as foreign protein which must be attacked?

I'm astounded that the doctors didn't recognize this as an allergy from the get go. And yes, the husband is an a*****e if he couldn't figure out the cause and effect and continued to have unprotected sex with his wife.
Interesting that they are considering adoption versus in vitro.

« tigertony:I'm guessing that this is why: Women who are allergic to sperm usually can conceive with artificial insemination. Out side the body the sperm can be placed with the egg allowing for insemination without having the sperm being attacked by the body's defenses.
Once the sperm has done its job then there is nothing foreign to attack. The fertilized egg is left alone and will gestate just fine.

Generally speaking, it's unlikely (but not impossible) the allergy is specific to her husband. That would be the equivalent of being allergic to a specific breed of dog...not that men are dogs...oh nevermind!
As for the location of the reaction, mucus membranes react more violently to an allergen than does intact skin.

« 2manyusernames:Prior to being married they always used protection. Assuming "protection" means a condom, then there's an argument for finding out about how your partner's "emissions" will affect your body before declaring to spend the rest of your life with them.
I had a problem with my last girlfriend, (at least chronic bacterial infections on her part, it turns out), and we're not married now, are we?
Yes, there were other issues as well, but this was a deal-breaker for me. To me, physical incompatibility should be found out early-on.

« drogue : To me, physical incompatibility should be found out early-on. Then that would mean the woman wouldn't be able to be in a relationship with any man; it's not husband-specific.
Also, discovering that risk probably meant exposing herself to a possible pregnancy, multiple times (assuming the situation was the same and they wouldn't automatically figure out the problem).

Geez, at least it's a better situation than the girl who was allergic to water.
One thing though, might be a stupid thought: It also means that Julie body attacks Mike's sperm and renders it inactive.
Could they perhaps use this information to make better birth controls? Also, I don't know how this would work with diseases like HIV. Would that be attacked as well?

« lynxears : Then that would mean the woman wouldn't be able to be in a relationship with any man; it's not husband-specific. Excuse me, but, yes it is! But the idea that being "allergic" or otherwise "incompatible" with a partner makes a woman incompatible with any other man, ever? Sorry, not buying one cent into that argument, pregnancy-risk or otherwise.
Plus, "physical incompatibility" can relate to hundreds of other hangups we all bring to the table.
The woman I mentioned is now in a stable, monogamous relationship which could, or might result in marriage and kids.
I support this, so long as they want it. But don't know where you're coming from.

You aren't just allergic to ONE man's sperm -- you're allergic to ALL sperm. Therefore, she's allergic to all men. The allergy, to you, is incompatibility, therefore, going off what you said, she is incompatibile with every man.
And the pregnancy risk comment was just to show that perhaps the risks involved with "discovering the incompatibility" were not something every couple would want to explore pre-marriage.

And sometimes, that's justified... if she did make a grilled cheese, and it left a bad taste in her mouth, she probably wouldn't want to make it again.
