Hi girlygirl2528. Unfortunately, I don't have any answers for you but just know that you are a great mom for making sure that your daughter is ok! I have 3 daughters & just recently was diagnosed and feel the same way. I've been paranoid that I might have exposed my daughters in some way without knowing! Just know you're not alone in freaking out & freaking out means you're a good parent cuz that's our job to make sure they're ok.. we will be freaking out about so many more things unfortunately because that's wha good parents do. lol

Lol! That's great! I think we'll be able overcome this & be closer as well. I originally thought I had a UTI and yeast infection but then all sorts of craziness started happening & I was like wtf?! I've never experience any kinda this before! I told him, "I'm a hot mess down there, you just need to stay away until I figure out wth is going on!" And I was googling b/4 I was able to see a Doc cuz it was literally Christmas and I'm like shit, can we really have herpes?!? I just had a baby 9mos ago & they test for that! And I had a baby the year before so I've had all sorts of blood tests and waving my vagina everywhere at medical staff since that's basically what you do when you're pregnant for like 2yrs in a row! Lol And my best friend is a L&D nurse (who delivered my 1st) and it didn't even dawn on her when I was describing my symptoms (cuz I run to her for anything & everything under the sun!) lol But at any rate, I just figure take it one day at a time until it's our new normal and I guess just figure it out as things get thrown at us..?? Such is life, right?

@Dumbfounded Yes! It's so crazy because I had no clue this could ever be an issue while in a monogamous relationship! He swears I'm the only one he's been with since we started dating. But it's been really fucking with my head! I'm finally all cleared up, so I'm VERY thankful for that but so nervous another one might come on. I have my antiviral script filled finally but since I'm better now I figure just keep it on hand just in case. I figure just like you, I want to see how my body handles this shit. I've started taking a daily dose of L-Lysine & upped my Vit C intake. I hope to prevent by supplementing. So my SO & I were finally intimate for the 1st time since all this and we had a conversation prior to make sure we were on the same page. And we figure there's no point in him getting tested until he ends up having an OB & needs some antivirals. Yea, he doesn't seem to phased by it now. I'm still trying to get over it.

That's awesome!! I wish the best for both of you!!:)

Hi Kaytea, yes it has been such a confusing time! My SO & I have been in an monogamous relationship for over 8yrs with 3 kids. We've never experienced any symptoms, not even a cold sore then BAM! Outta the blue was diagnosed w/this! So they did prescribe me acyclovir, I haven't taken it yet because so far I had just read it was supposed to clear up the symptoms quicker. Well, since they didn't give me my official diagnosis until almost 2wks after I've been experiencing an outbreak, I wasn't sure if there was any point to even getting it filled yet. Especially since I didn't know how much the script was going to cost me. It's only for a 7 day treatment. Should I just take it incase I end up w/another outbreak soon after this one?? Thanks for your help!

Hello all! I'm obviously new here since I was just diagnosed a couple of days ago. So, I've been dealing with my 1st OB for almost 2wks now. I felt as though yesterday it was finally getting better but extremely itchy. Then in the middle of the night I experienced some tingling through my legs then pain down there again. Is this normal during a OB or is another one coming on?? I have read that another one could come on immediately following the first initial OB. I'm so scared because I've been in absolute agony the past 2wks and finally just started getting some relief yesterday. I seriously was starting to think this would never end! And if I have to go through this another 2wks, I'm chopping my vagina off! Lol Any insight would be great! Thanks!
