Hi Itsthatskater, Just FYI, a few of us in the community have kids and POIS has not been an issue in that department. It would be nice to do a more comprehensive survey, but the wife and I have three healthy kids and have not had problems getting pregnant (thankfully!).

Same here. 2 grown genius-men for sons, and they have no POIS (thankfully).

B_Jim, excellent points raised.

I personally disagree with the sperm allergy, at least for my POIS, but everybody's entitled to their own opinion. Just doesn't make sense how my body would be allergic to sperm after having been inside my body for years, and POIS just came in a sudden attack.

A friend of mine who has hay fever and did desensitization for that, told me that his hay fever started all of a sudden at about midtwenties. He went from no complaints at all to so much stuff around his eyes that he even couldn't open them in the morning and his wife had to open them with a lot of warm water.
I always thought that allergy was something terrible and could not be cured, so I always wanted this to not be an allergy, even when rumours were around, but my friend got mostly cured from hay fever and Waldinger showed this possibility for sperm allergy as well and even 2 forum members got mostly cured this way, so there is really no need to be afraid of allergy.

EDIT- I did an advanced google search for "epinephrine" in this forum and found a lot of discussion about epinephrine levels in the body possibly triggering POIS or being involved in some way, but I found nothing about anyone taking epinephrine in an effort to reduce symptoms.

conterpoint has tried epinephrine and he said it dosnt work.

Perhaps you are drinking decaffeinated green tea? I remember drinking hot chocolate after not drinking it for a while and it had a profound affect.

I'm sure it's not decaffeinated and I just double checked to confirm this.
About being allergic to sperm I'm sure there are many auto-immune disorders in which a body becomes allergic to something that has been present for a long time in that body.
edit- but i understand your skepticism. It took me a while to favor the auto-immune theory of POIS.
