herpes or not?

Hi. I am a 30 yr old female and became pregnant in may 2009.  In June 2009 I became sick.  My doctors did some sort of panel of blood tests to see what I was sick with.  They told me that I tested positive with the herpes virus.  It was the IGM blood test showing that I was newly infected.  I didn't have any symptoms that I thought that related to herpes at that time.  Since September of 2009 I began to have these paper cut sensations on the outer labia and the area right above the clitoris.  These symptoms seem to last 2 weeks or so then start to go away but then return before I seem to get any relief.  I also had one blister that was tingling and painful that lasted about 4 to 5 days in november 2009.  I did not notice any scabs.  After the blister was gone that area of my skin hurt for about a month and a half to 2 months.  I have not had any blisters since then but continue to have these paper cut sensations.  I have had several IGG blood tests since then (the last one was in december 2009) all of these have been negative.  Is this Herpes or some other skin disorder?  If it is another skin disorder do you have any suggestions?  I am so scared and I need closure on this matter.
Thank you.

* correction from previous post *  Part of my question also:  
If this was a first outbreak after a herpes blister is gone in the vaginal area would it cause skin pain for a month to a month and a half?
thank you

The one question, that i think might have been missed was from a previous post.  I know you are telling me i don't have it but i need to know the answer to this question:  After a herpes blister is gone in the vaginal area would it cause skin pain for a month to a month and a half?  Thank you in advance for your response.

lol....I know for him, he'll need the carpal tunnel surgery!!! :)  I appologize to him everyday for the no action.  I am just so disgused by down there on myself  I am just finding it very hard to get back into things with all my symptoms that I've had.  I know it is just a skin disease and not a bad one I just needed to know for sure if i have it.  I know you are telling me no that i don't have it, but when you get told one thing and then your doctors say oops never mind 3 months later it kind of gets one freaked out (especially when i had symptoms that sounded like herpes).  I don't know if I will ever get this out of my head.  I feel like i am going to be constantly worrying about if i'll have an outbreak.  I don't need a therapist,  I know it won't work on me.  I just wish my doctors never did that stupid igm test on me.  Sorry again for all the questions I've been throwing at you.  It just seems like when I ask doctors questions it is always a vague answer.  I just need someone to be straight up with me and tell me yes or tell me no to my questions.  They either completely avoid my question or they are just vague.  I hate it.  I don't think I will ever go to a doctor again in my life.  If i am really sick i think i would rather just die than to see a doctor.  I know that sounds bad but they didn't seem helpful what so ever when i was sick and they didn't help when they told me about this igm blood test.  When the igm test came back positive again in april 2010 they just said they are confused themselves and didn't know what else could be making it positive and said see ya later have a nice day.  I felt like i was the only person in the world that has had that happend to by the way they reacted.  Well Grace I know this needs to be put to rest but my doctors really messed up my head by doing this to me.  Thank you so very much for being upfront and honest with me.

I know he couldn't have given me a new infection in november.  i've been so freaked out about this whole thing we haven't done any kind of sexual contact since i had the first igm test in june 2009.  I know it sounds crazy.  and my poor husband has probably been going nuts though all this.  I just want to know if i am a carrier of this disease and how to control it if i do and how not to contract it to him and how not to spread this to other parts of my body.  but you pretty much said i am 100% negative.  right?  i know a lot of people have hsv.  i just want to know if i have it to be safe.
