Possible Herpes

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?!?!?!?

Grace I just one more quick question and then I am done. Sorry. In thinking about my past medical history I know that I have had UTI symptoms really bad to the point I went to urgent care but all tests also came back negative. I was wondering (since reading so much) could that have been herpes as well? Basically, my question is, Can herpes present itself in different ways each time? Like 2 years ago my undiagnosed UTI was herpes and now a few years later it is presented itself this way?

These are the same symptoms I have, a persistant burning feeling. This has been going on for 3 months . I was diagnosed with bacterial infections, make sure they test you for that. I keep thinking mine is herpes as well. Get the blood test to confirm. Good luck

you need to find a clinic that won't waste your time and money and be seen. make sure they examine your genital area as well as do testing for vaginal infections.

genital herpes is transmitted through naked and intimate contact. it's not something we have to worry about transmitting to our children.    no real reason to think you have hsv2 orally either.

I just don't get this anymore even if it is/isn't herpes. I was at work and for about half hour I had burning while sitting down and then it is just ramdomly gone. If this was an infection you would think I would have symptoms all the time not just her and there throughout the day. Grace, I noticed a "pocket" on the roof of my mouth IF it is HSV2 can I pass it to my son by kissing him?

No they didn't. At this point with persistent vaginal discomfort I can only assume it's related to herepes. I'm going on my 3rd week of ailment. When can expect to feel normal again? I just don't understand why I haven't shown anyother signs of herpes besides some vaginal burning on and off throughout this ordeal. Tough pill to swallow at this point. One quick question, IF I had genetial herpes in my mouth can I pass it to my child by kissing him? I'm fearful of that as well?
