Cold Sores
I've been plagued with constant cold sores for a couple of years. I get one every week either on my lips or in my nose. Do you think having these is affecting ttc? It's a virus so wondering if that's an issue. I'm curious for your thoughts.
Thanks

I don't think this virus affects fertility. I also have the herpes simplex 1 virus (not the genital one), and I have gotten pregnant.
My outbreaks are only 2-3 times a year though. Since you have them so frequently, you may want to see a doctor to see if something else is wrong or if something else is triggering the frequent outbreaks.
