Can Pregnancy cause Cold Sores??

I'm NO sure IF I am pregnant yet. BUT its a possiblity. Was just wondering if being PG can cause cold sores? I woke up this morning with one. I haven't been sick or stressed or anything, which is usually when I get one. And I can;t even remember the last time I got one. So I was curious.

Thanks, It's a little early yet. I will probably wait till Friday to test IF AF doesn't show.

Pregnancy can indeed Lower Your immune System however I am not sure about whether it could actually cause a cold sore as I have never heard of this as a common sign or experienced it.
If You suspect You are pregnant, You are best doing a test
