Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. There are several points to be noted in this situation. A history of bacterial vaginosis and a possible recurrence considering the fact that you are experiencing a fishy smell can itself be a hindrance to conception. Use of antiseptic solutions to clean the vagina often kills the sperms as they are very sensitive to chemicals. This can be another cause for failure to conceive. To facilitate conception, rest for at least 30 minutes after the intercourse on your back if you have an anteverted uterus and on your stomach if you have a retroverted uterus. Hope you find this information helpful. Take care.
