  1. Thanks again for your support. It means a lot. It's been about a week or so since I stopped the birth control. The outbreak is definitely a result of the hormones. I feel like the outbreak I've been having is due to the pill. I keep having the same area affected now. So once the area heals I hope it will be gone once and for all. What a terrible experience. I am not trying to go back on the pill though. My husband doesn't like non-hormonal methods. I refuse to take hormones after this experience. Since I have gotten exposed recently it has not mattered what hormones I take. All of them trigger it. Besides that, I had a ton of weight gain with the iud. The pill is what triggered this outbreak since I took the IUD out. Even with the IUD I was getting "symptoms" without an outbreak. I don't want to ever expirience this again. So I'm considering non-hormonal methods. One is from the UK. I think I want to try Caya. It is a diaghragm. Have you known anyone who tried that? Are you from the UK? With the diaphragm and a "spermicide" I think this should be more than sufficent. I would like another child. We have 2 girls. 13 and 9. I am only 33 and wouldn't mind if we had another baby. Also I don't want to upset him if I did get pregnant though. He is a stay at home dad. I don't think I want him to stay at home longer than he wants to, but he doesn't seem willing to go back to work much either. So another kid wouldn't even be bad since I can afford it. I think he is being selfish. Haha! Anyway. Thanks for letting me vent, and again thanks for your support. It helps. I feel so helpless and hopeless. It's so hard going through this alone for almost 2 months now. Even though my husband has had cold sores on his lips, he doesn't know what it is like to have it for about 2 months on your vagina! Omg.
  2. Thanks so much for your response. It helps a lot. My husband is understanding, but he doesn't really understand. It's not a bad outbreak as far as pain goes, the antivirals help. It's just very annoying and frustrating, as you know. I just figured out this out yesterday, but I believe it's my birth control, because in January I got my IUD taken out, and I started the mini pill. The hormones are different. My period triggered the initial outbreak in February, but I believe this is persisting because of the birth control. So I stopped taking it today. I pray to god this helps. I want my life back. I've tried all of the things you mentioned. Except the diet. I'm not mentally prepared for those types of changes yet.
  3. Hi, I had been diagnosed after having bumps on my vagina for a couple weeks, because I had no clue it would be this. I have been married and in a monogamous relationship with my husband, for about 14 years. I never got oral much until the last few months and that's how I got it on my gentials. I finally went to the doc and right away he said herpes. I was in shock. Needless to say I'm still devastated and it's been about 6 weeks. I keep getting a few bumps that never scab and then as soon as they go away, a few more come. I've taken 500mg of valtrex 2 sometimes 3 times daily. I've take 250 of famicyclovir 2 times or 3 times a day. It only helps with the pain. It all started when I got my iud taken out. Now since I've gotten a couple periods it triggered it, and I'm so worried that this is my new life. Every month I'll have an OB that lasts weeks. How long could this initial OB last? Is the first the worst and then in the future OB meds will work? I'm worried that if I get and when I get more outbreaks the meds won't work again and I'll have more outbreaks that last months when I finally over come this outbreak. I'm so worried. I'm worried my life will never be the same. I'll just be looking at my vagina everyday worrying. Will it ever get better?!?!? I know everyone is different. But I just worry it will never get better. Am I over reacting?
