Hi, I feel like I'm in a nightmare and I really want to wake up 😢 I went to the doctors on Tuesday thinking I had thrush after spending the night with someone I know on Saturday. After the doctor did an examination she mentioned the H word and told me to go to the sexual health clinic, which I did the same day. I was given some tablets to take for 5days and it's now finally starting to heal and become less painful. I was told it was more than likely H and they did some swabs. I feel like today it's only just starting to sink in.. I'm feeling really low and that I can't talk to anyone about it. I'm a single 30yo female from UK with a 5yo son. I keep reading up on it and that it can affect pregnancies and obviously you would need to have the talk with future boyfriends... it feels surreal. I have no idea how long I've had it for which is scary and the fact I'll now have it in my body forever. I'm guessing this is totally normal to feel like this?
