MissGuided

I'm sorry I post so much in here, and still don't know my diagnosis. I'm scared, and it helps to come here and converse with people that understand the fear. My question is this... I know all over the internet, it says different time frames for when to test... I got my igG tested exactly 4 weeks after my possible exposure. It was negative. Hadn't risen a single point, since the last time I had it done... .2, with anything under .91 being negative. Should I even hold my breath over this result? Is it completely irrelevant? Or can I take it as a good sign? Has anybody had a similar situation to mine, where it turned out differently later on? Every bump, red mark, zit, has me on edge. If it is, it is what it is, I'll figure out acceptance, and move on. But the hardest part for me at this point, is the not knowing. My vagina hasn't felt well in a month, basically since I found out. I've had two spots that were scary to me, and both swabbed day I found them, both came back negative. I've got an area on the crease of my thigh that feels uncomfortable? But nothing more than that, although it looks like it could be a little red, but where the underwear line would be? I think I"m just psyching myself out, at least I hope that's all it is. I have a BV infection that recurred from last month too, so that isn't helping down there fell any better... And typically it's a back and forth battle between BV and Yeast. It's like you fix one, only to get the other 😞 I just want to feel like myself again 😞😞😞 The worry has completely changed me. Thank you all for your constant support and responses.

My question is this... If anything under .90 is considered negative, then why does it show at all? Like, my results a few months ago, prior to possible exposure, was .2 so why wouldn't it be plain 0 if it was negative? Does this mean i've been exposed at some point to a little of the virus, or what? I'm waiting for my results as we speak, and very stressed. I know the lab work came back, and it's still way too early anyways, 4 weeks post exposure, but am curious if my number will go up at all after 4 weeks. My doctor doesn't come in until 12, so it's a waiting game now. If they've moved up at all, I know I will be very stressed the next month, waiting for the next time to test. But again, my question was the top one... why is there any reading at all, if it's considered negative?

How long from the time you were exposed, to the time you went and got your lab work done, did it take for you to get a positive reading? Did you wait the full 12-14 weeks to get your labs done? Did you go in at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, etc..? Trying to decide if I want to keep going once a month, or just wait out the next 8 weeks, before I go again for lab work... it’s been 4 weeks so far, since my possible exposure date.

I wish it was from shaving, but I haven’t shaved since I was exposed 3 weeks ago, and idk... you kind of just know. I feel like she should of started me on something today, but I’m trying to give her the benefit of the doubt and hang onto hope.

Thank you for replying! I really appreciate even just hearing from someone! I’m trying my best to not worry, but I have bad anxiety as it is, and just, with how things look, something is going on. Guess I will find out in a couple of days.

It’s been just over 3 weeks since I was exposed to someone that has the HSV2 virus. He didn’t find out until after our weekend together. We were fooling around, didn’t have sex, but lots of naked touching. I’ve been watching, waiting. Day 23 and I have little tiny bumps near my vaginal opening that are white. Went to my OB this AM and she said it looked pretty suspicious, when I showed her the photo, but when she examined, she said she wasn’t sure. That she didn’t know what it was and the only thing to do is swab. She said it was clustered, but the sores are so tiny, that it’s not presenting like it normally would. I don’t know if I should be hopeful from this, that it wasn’t a confirmed yes right off the bat, or just accept the probability of the situation and start moving on. She said she normally would prescribe something, if she was concerned, and she doesn’t feel at this time she needs to. I find out in a few days, what the cultures are, but at this point, my bits are sore, and I’m stressed to the max. Any advice, or comfort, is welcome.

I’ve been under severe stress the past few weeks. I am not diagnosed, haven’t had any symptoms, but was exposed to the HSV2 virus a month ago, by a man i went on a date with, and am trying to process. My doctor says on a worry scale, to be maybe at a 2 out of 10. He didn’t know he had the virus until his labs came in. He says he has never had an ob, and went to his doctors the next day who said he didn’t see anything on him. We did not have sex, but did have naked forplay, thighs rubbed together, bits did not. We did cuddle naked that night though. Every bump that’s popping up has me on edge. I have always gotten bumps like this, and they seem to go away. But this time, they seem higher up on my right side... just very scared and worried. What do you think?? I’m so worried from my constant checking of my bits, that I’ve convinced myself in the last two weeks I have literally spread it everywhere. Realistically speaking, I’m sure I haven’t, but I feel that way. Please help!
