Can a pregnancy cause outbreaks

I recently found out over the weekend that I have genital herpes and BV, smh the medication for bc is suppose to be inserted vaginally but I'm too sore to insert it. I'm hoping I can take the valtrex for a couple days, get less sore then try the metrogel( for bv)... Idk.. 2 weeks a ago found out I was pregnant. Is the pregnancy the reasoning had an outbreak? I've been with my boyfriend for 7months. I was ready to go off on him but then the doctor told me I could have had it for years . So now I'm acres to even tell him b I could have had I all along. Another question I have is will the pregnancy make me have breakout more often?

Yes get my results  Thursday, but when I went to the emergency room the doctor told me she's sure it's herpes'. Having bv right I feel is making it worst bc I can't keep the sites dry. But in way to sore to insert anything down there. I just hope the painful part is over now. Not sure if I want to continue this pregnancy, but can't to much about it with all the painful outbreaks

Hi, yes any type of stress can cause outbreaks. Being pregnant you need a full std testing, did you do this yet, Also whats very important to know the status of your boyfriend if your going to continue to be intimate with him. This is very important.
