waiting on my results to come back .

Posted , 7 users are following.

this past July me & my baby father had split up . we both moved on . Aug 11th , we had unprocted sex . Aug 14th , i had protected sex w/ someone else .  Aug 30th , Sept 1st & Sept 2nd , me & my baby father had sex again . on Sept 2nd , that morning i noticed discharge & odor . i thought it was the usual ( bv & yeast ) but later on that night i started to get this pain down there . it would hurt when i walk , sit down , wipe & wash . it was so bad i had to go home . when i looked in the mirror , i noticed 3 red bumps . i instantly thought to myself this can't be real . i cried & cried & cried . i went to the health department & she told me it didn't look like herpes , but once she swabbed them , one busted & had a lil puss & blood coming out .  she went ahead & started me on Acyclovir just in case . who could i have possibly gotten this from if it is herpes ? my baby father said he doesn't have it & he hasn't had unprotected sex w/ nobody .

    Well you don't know if it's herpes yet so relax and herpes can be passed even if u use a condom depending on the location of the outbreak. Has your ex gotten tested? Some ppl are carriers

      it's hard to relax . i've never had this before . after looking at pics & googling herpes , that's all i think about . even the nurse said that's what it looks like after she swabbed . both partners have not got tested . they keep saying they're clean , but they don't know unless they get tested . i'm devasted .

      It absolutely sucks but it's not the end of the world. So many ppl have it and don't even know something like 80% of ppl with it show no signs or symptoms or symptoms are so mild they are dismissed as in grown hairs, bug bites, or friction. Some ppl can go 10yrs without an outbreak and some ppl will never get one at all only find out from partners that show symptoms. When did u start the aclovir ? Does it seem to be helping??

      i feel like my love / sex life is completely over . i had so much planned . but after this , it all went down the drain . i'm scared to tell the person i'm talking to now that it might be a possibility . i'm even scared to be around my kids now . i went & got tested this Tuesday , i didn't start taking the medicine until yesterday ( Wednesday ) . the pain still hurts . & the discharge from bv makes it worse .

      I couldn't help but to be nosey. I have a similar story as Tasha! I'm in a relationship, one night i was out with some friends and a couple of guys. We were drinking, I wasn't drunk, just tipsy. I had sex with one of my friends, friends. We did you protection. Days and weeks later afterward, i'm just fine. . . Until me and my boyfriend have sex like after day 3. I also gave him oral. I had sever pain down there and when i looked, I noticed red bumps! I went to my obgyn and she immediately swabbed sores. I'm waiting on my results now. By reading Tasha's story, I now feel like I have herpes. HELPPPPPPPPPPP !!!!!

    I wouldn't unless you get to the point that you think you might get intimate. It's fine to around your kids always wash your just like you normally have if you can put bandages on the sores to avoid contact with them you don't want to spread them. When u put cream on new q tip each time. I think tea tree oil helps a lot with discomfort. Garlic is supposed to be help (raw) eaten with honey. Vitamins will be good to avoid stress it makes outbreaks worse.

      is it possible that my baby's father might have it . i've read where one test positive & the other hasn't . i know my life isn't over but that's how i feel . i feel like i'm at fault . i feel nasty & ashamed .

    I felt the same way when I found out it's natural. See I know couples with one partner that has and one partner doesn't and I also know a couple that they both had it. Friend of mine used a condom with a guy in got it.

      oh gosh 🤦🏽???😔 how long does it take for the meds to kick in ?

      Hope your meds kicked in and your feeling better! I hope you don't have herpes just something mild that happens to be uncomfortable at the moment. Good Luck!!

    Mine have been so mild up until about 3 months ago I never used the meds. I was always able to just use vitamin E oil. Now I've been using tea tree oil wish it was a lil faster drying them out but it feels great so I can't complain about that

      I ordered a few things from Amazon I plan on trying. I want something to not have any outbreaks and minimum side effects so I lean towards more natural approach Garlic daily, acv I plan on trying lemon balm oil and I found a vitamin also on Amazon that has a lot of natural surpressors.

    I would wait until you get your results, then ask these questions if it's actually herpes and you know the HSV type.

      isn't type 2 the genitals ? if so , that's where they are located ? but i'm suppose to get my results back today 😬  i'm a nervous wreck .

      Praying 🙌🏽 it's  not either just an infected pimple or something . No you can get hsv1 on your genitals usually from oral sex supposed to be less shedding less frequent
