Because I had my period on the 15th of May and two weeks later it came back. I had it for five days and went away, that was on the 29. Now it's back again. I was wondering if it could have something to do with having the H?!?

Hi lovemyself,

 

I have struggled with irregular periods much of my life and though I don't think herpes is causing your periods to be irregular, stress may contribute to the change or hormonal changes in your body.

 

See your doctor and talk about it. Your periods being so close together may cause you to be anemic (low on iron) and cause fatigue which may lower your immunity which would hinder your ability to fight the virus.

 

Hope that helps a little, sweetheart. Take good care.

Okay, thanks Judith and Kristin. I have been stressing out a lot lately. I'll need to set up an appointment!
