symptoms from semen alone

[Sandy Bee]

Hi y’all,

Thanks for a great site!

Previously, OH and I would use condom or pull out which means that I haven’t been exposed to semen much. Now we’ve decided to TTC and I’m beginning to realize that semen itself gives me 2ww symptoms, even when we have unprotected sex during AF only I’ll start cramping, bloating and getting sore breasts.

It’s annoying since I get my hopes up for no real reason. Has anyone else here experienced this?
Does it mean that if I’d actually be preggo being exposed to semen could cause unhealthy cramping??

I'm not sure, I found that being 'exposed' to semen made me feel strange not quite sure what as it was in mar and apr where we were actively trying. This month is my 1st month back ttc after my mmc xx

I guess it's there for a good reason and that my body will get used to the sensation...

I found this on goggle:


"Prostaglandins function in semen is to stimulate muscular contractions within the female reproductive organs and aiding the movement of sperm cells toward the egg cell."


I'm not sure though whether it's good or bad to have sex during the 2ww after OV (because of the cramping)...
