Q: 20 weeks pregnant and lost my sense of smell

I have been slowly losing my sense of smell/taste since I got pregnant in September. I had really bad allergies this year and I think my sinuses never had the chance to de-swell. I have been to an allergist and a nose and throat specialist. I am on my 3rd nasal steroid, claritin and a sinus rinse. Nothing is helping. I completely lost my sense of smell about mid-November and am pretty miserable. Any advice/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
