first outbreak of herpes!
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hey all, i had unprotected sex Saturday night and sunday morning, i started getting really itchy 2 days after we had sex, then yesterday it started to hurt to wee really bad and now today which is Friday (5 days post unprotected sex) i am now riddled with ulcer like sores on and around my labia and in my vagina. This is the first time Ive ever had it and wanting to know if this is typical of herpes? Also, how long will it hang around for? Have been prescribed Famciclovir but havent been given an official diagnosis yet. See doc again Sunday. Was anyone else riddled with lots of sores for their first breakout?

What you've described does unfortunately sound all too familiar but who knows...until your tests come back. It does sound like herpes. I believe I had same experience. It's been 10 years. Once diagnosed and prescribed meds for suppression you'll feel better in about 3 days or so I suspect. They usually give you a higher dose of meds in beginning (like 3 times a day) then once a day for suppression. Then in time hopefully you'll barely even think about it. I've had virtually no symptoms since my suppression began 10 years ago. Extreme stress may give me a brief issue but it clears right up. If you're feeling down on yourself just know THIS IS COMMON! It's so misconcepted! I go to counseling once a week in general but that's something to consider. My doctor and GYN eased my mind a great deal. I think the name of this sounds worse than it actually is. Those out there (and you will see) that talk down on it...are not educated. Pay them no mind and hold your head up high. Good luck, GOD bless.

Do you have any discharge ? Is your skin peeling yet ?

I have felt terrible all day, aching all over, weak, headache and even one side of my throat is sore.
Is this normal?
I think it has just hit me today as I'm feeling really disgusted and like I'll never be worthy of a relationship again.
And I'm also worried im going to give it to my kids.

I don't think I got scabs my skin was just peeling and it was raw skin., a&D ointment helped me a lot with that if you keep the area really lubricated it doesn't hurt as bad.
My outbreak didn't last as long as most people I had mine on the 2nd of December and by the 8th I was good .
Never had any fevers , headaches or nothing as such that you are Having ., I hear it's apart of it all tho
Don't feel down tho sweetie when I first got diagnosed I felt the same way heck if things don't work out between me and my boyfriend I don't seem myself going back in the dating scene ., it's too much . And I just refuse to start over.
You are planning on having kids ??
They have different things to help you if you are having an outbreak during your time of birth they can and will do an emergency c section ...
Don't worry sweetie. God wouldn't put you through it if he didn't think you could make it

It might well be herpes but you need to get your results and try not to worry. Drink lots of water and eat well. Try to relax... Not easy but just try a bit.
its a horrible feeling in the beginning but it will never be as bad as this again. Nowhere near. Herpes is just a minor skin condition which can be annoying at times (like many other things!) If you want support you are in the right place here and know that you are most certainly not alone... Soooo many people have this!
Take care

I'm having my first outbreak right now
im waiting for my results to say i have herpes but I'm 100% i have it.
It sounds exactly like what i have, im not sure when exactly my itching started tho unlike you.
You aren't alone in this sweetie xxx
i suggest that when you are at home and need to pee make a salt bath hold yourself open and pee like that also take a water bottle around when you aren't at home and pour the water on the area when peeing it does help a lot xxx
My outbreak is slowly getting better over time and so will yours x i know it hurts but you can get through this xxx
I found this out after 4 days of thinking it was thrush and just bad scratches so i didn't have any idea how to relieve my pain or what was going on until thursday.
For me i was scared...im 16 and having this isn't nice but on here there are a lot of women who are going through the same things as we are and they are always willing to give advice to help you xx
