Possible Herpes

[whiteshadowcgb]

Here's the time line...

Day ONE  unprotected sex
DAY THREE vaginal burning
DAY FOUR:  vaginal burning tried Monostat and it made it worse,that evening about 3 hours later went to urgent care and they tested for yeast and BV both negative and urine sample also negative. slight irritation rash but no know bumps/anything else given Diflucan (150mg) and sent on my way.
DAY FIVE slight "diaper rash feeling" tingling and paper cut like feelings
DAY SIX minimal "tingling"
DAY SEVEN :  NOTHING
DAY EIGHT:  NOTHING went to visit OBGYN explained my symptoms and he said that he woudn't be surprised IF if wasn't herpes but gave 30 day rx for Valtrex and said that we could do blood work in June ---I immediately took the Valtrex and have been taking it daily.

Now that last few days I have been experiencing "symptoms" on and off throughout the day. Burning vagina, "heat" feeling on my thighs these symptoms only last about 10 minutes and then are gone. I am just worrying myself sick or is this "classic" mild outbreak? In addition I have not experienced ANY other symptoms...no flu, no bumps I honestly would have thought that after all my reading I would have experienced a severe outbreak after the day of a burning vagina.Wondering if anyone else has had this? In addition, I did change my birth control about 30 days prior could this all be hormonal changes and my anxiety getting the best of me?!?!?!?

your provider erred in giving you valtrex.  you never needed 30 days of it and they shouldn't have started it without doing a lesion culture first.  did they even see any obvious lesions that they started you on it? it should've only been a 7-10 day course if they had.

You need to return to be seen again this week. get retested for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally again.  make sure they also test you for gonorrhea, trich and chlamydia too.

No they were no active lesions to test and all symptoms had subsided by day 8 and then randomly I would symptoms for 10 minute increments. Is that normal with herpes? I'm going to make an appointment for another exam this week :)

When was your encounter?  Our symptoms sound so similar. I have this irritation at my clitoris, kind of an itch/ irritation which I was told could be from the bacteria. Just took 3 rd different antibiotic for BV and it feels worse. This is horrible, 3 months of constant discomfort. I keep wondering if I have herpes too which  could be why I cannot get rid of the bacteria. I just want this figured out... Doctors don't seem to be able to help.

The middle of Feb. but my symptoms aren't constant they come and go and from the cultures I didn't show any sign on infection but I am thinking that is because of the use of monostat. I questioned that Dr. and asked if that would compromise the results and was told, No. But how could monostat not compromise the results? I need to call later today for an appointment.

Key me know what the doctor says. The wait is terrible. June seems so far. I am at 13 weeks now, going to edit another week or two just so I feel more confident in the test results but I to keep thinking I feel prisoners symptoms on and off and it is enough to drive you crazy... I wish you luck
