I think I'm allergic to latex. Latex band-aids for sure. I've gotten a rash from band-aids before, but never thought to put 2-and-2 together. I usually buy non-latex...just because it's the first box I grabbed...but recently I put a band-aid on my arm and got the rash again and it finally clicked. Sure enough, they had latex in them. The other band-aids in the medicine cabinet were latex-free.

So now I'm wondering about other latex things...mainly condoms. I checked and the ones DH and I have been using do have latex in them. But I haven't noticed any symptoms with using them. I have had other odd symptoms that I saw a gyno for, but I don't know if they're related to the latex condoms...the doc thinks they're "not gynecologically related" at all.

I'm not sure what to do because we're going to start trying to conceive at the end of this month, so I don't want to go buy a box of latex-free condoms, only to not use them all.
