    You can onkyload pictures from a computer, not from your phone.

    1.Can you tell me what tests you had done?

    2. Did you have it swabbed?

    3. Have you recently been sexually active?

      Have been tested for hsv 1 and 2 and all results are negative..culture results and blood work...I'm actually leaving my Dr office now and he said my symptoms did look like herpes but nothing showed up in my results.i did test positive for b strep which is a common bacteria found in pregnant women and positive for a yeast infection..

      He gave me some antibiotics and just said that I would be on meds until after the birth of my baby....all that I can say is thank you jesus....my outbreaks took about 5days to clear up.no burning..lesions or cuts since...just a lil bit of itching.ive been using my blow dryer after taking a shower to keep my vagina dry...

      I haven't had sex from august.about 2weeks later is when I had the outbreak...I haven't gone to the local pharmacy as yet to pick up my meds as yet...will do before the end of the day...

      my doctor didn't swab the sore itself.He took 2 swabs from the inside of my vagina as well as taking blood work...He tested me for strep B as well

      So you didn't have the sore swabbed w in 48hrs of showing up? That's when you have to get it swabbed or it can come back w a false negative.

      Is this the second round of symptoms you're getting since the first one two weeks after exposure?

      As long as you take antivirals the last 3 months just to be on the safe side, you should be fine w vaginal delivery if you have no symptoms of an OB .

    Has your doctor ruled out lichen schlerosus?  That's an autoimmune disease (a skin condition that affects the vulvar region), and can have some similar symptoms to herpes (itching, lesions).   It's not as well known (not common, but not rare, either).  Good luck!
