@Tiredmommaj I'm about a week into birth control I'll let you know how I do. I had no outbreaks during pregnancy which was amazing . As soon as my vagina healed from delivery they have been non stop for the past year . I'm praying birth control can hold me over until a better medicine is released or someone can help me .

@Tiredmommaj with either of your pregnancies , did you notice monthly / frequent outbreaks after delivery?

@Bloomer I take lauricidin (monolaurin) , lysine, liposomal vitamin c , and valtrex ... honestly supplements don't seem to cut it when it comes to hormonal OBs . Maybe since you're having OBs in pregnancy you won't have any when the baby is here ! I was the complete opposite. Starting to even wonder if I'm in perimenopause, I'm going to be 39 in may . Hang in there love . I pray for a healthy rest of your pregnancy and healthy beautiful delivery! ❤️

Hey! No I did not breastfeed unfortunately. I hope your obs stop . I am so sorry you have to deal with that on top of being pregnant . What trimester are you in? My cycle is now only 25 days and I feel like I'm in a constant OB or have my period . I don't get a break . I'm starting a low dose birth control pill on Sunday I pray it helps . @Bloomer

I hope to find some answers and in answer to your question , no .

Thank you . I'm trying to get an appt with my OB. I'm just not very hopeful they'll help me . Please keep me in your prayers I am suffering.

Please reach out to me if you have overcome post partum outbreaks . I didn't have one OB my whole pregnancy and after I healed from delivering my healthy son vaginally , it's been monthly , sometimes weekly outbreaks . This is taking a major toll on my quality of life . Valtrex is not suppressing it . Nothing works. Someone tell me there's a light at the end of this tunnel.

Thank you Grace ❤️ I haven't had much luck with doctors. They've never been able to help me anymore than this group or a quick internet search. I will try acyclovir instead of valtrex. I just feel like valtrex has always worked for me in the past better than acyclovir. Also I just had bloodwork done checking my iron, thyroid , etc . I am going to make an OB appt to have my hormones checked and speak with them . Thanks again for the encouragement.

Seems like I'm getting OBs every 20 days . I can't take much more . It's not just the OBs but the other symptoms like back pain and extreme fatigue it brings with it. I'm on antivirals lysine and lauricidin. I will admit the one I'm having now is really mild and I would have never even known I was having one but I'm super in tune with my body since having this. I've had hsv2 10 years and it seems like it is back with a vengeance since I've had my son. It is ruining my quality of life and mentally killing me. I wish there was a pill that actually worked. I can't take this anymore . It's affecting my ability to mother in the way I want to.

My obs decreased after 5 years . I lightened up the antiviral load , barely took them and before I knew it I was having another outbreak. But I also have been eating like shit and not staying above the wellness line so it could be that too. I'm just going to stay on it forever to be honest it's worth it the less outbreaks the better I'm getting over one now and it's so annoying it's itching so badly in a place where I can't even scratch :/

It's your nerves . I'm just getting over an ob in that area (perineum) the blisters are almost gone and I still get the terrible itching sensation . It's like an itch u can't reach or scratch , sucks . I use essential oils on mine and bactine . I've kinda been alternating

I've had it over 5 years . Sometimes the outbreak just stops annoying me after the blister opens and sometimes (like right now) it continues to itch. Try Epsom bath and keep taking ur meds. I also use bactine and essential oils.

This sucks

I have been urinating more than double my usual this past week, yesterday I felt the bump and also the overall feeling of complete shit . I can't remember having frequent urination before . Has anyone else experienced this with hsv2?

Hey Tina... I have had it for 4 and a half years now. I never tied my butt issues into my hsv but now I realize it is all connected. I took a long epsom salt bath and then did nothing the next 2 days and it healed very quickly and almost miraculously disappeared. I know I have to eat better and be more consistent with my meds... and yes the gold bond def helps me too.. i use the medicated baby powder . :)
