Allison suffers from a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which is a connective tissue order affecting the skin and organs

Allison said using condoms is not an option for her because she is also allergic to the material they are made from.

'We're not intimate enough because of the allergies. I don't want to burn, and he doesn't want to make me cry – so it's really hard!' she stressed.

'It's a struggle,' she continued. 'It's hard to be intimate because it's not comfortable and I can't even use condoms.'

Now, she feels like time is running out to get pregnant but she is terrified of being in contact with semen because of the sensation she experiences. 

'I don't know how I can even have a baby. I don't even know how that would work – like would my body just reject semen completely?' she stressed.

'If having a baby wasn't an option, it would be pretty heartbreaking,' Allison said

'I have a blood clotting disorder as well, so pregnancy is really risky for me. 

'My partner and I have done our due diligence with my doctor to make sure I would survive pregnancy and all that.'

In addition to her semen allergy, Allison is also wary about any risks involved if she were to land pregnant.

'We've considered it, we just don't know yet. I've always wanted one but then it'd be fine to not have a baby – we keep going back and forth,' she admitted.

'If having a baby wasn't an option, it would be pretty heartbreaking,' she reflected.

'At least if I had the choice, it would make me feel better,' she continued. 'I'm 34 now so I'm a little older but I still have time.'
