Symptoms of STD?

I'm having very mild symptoms and probably over reacting by even asking. I am female and slept with my new girlfriend recently. She has been tested in the last three months and was negative for stds. However, a few days after first sleeping together, I got a sore throat and became very fatigued. This has continued four days later. I have simple cold symptoms-a very mild basic cold with mild sore throat, tiredness, light headedness. No headache or fever or
Stomach issues. I got my period about a week ago and as it's tapering off, I'm getting more discharge than usual-though still not a lot (very light pink). The discharge is causing itchiness. I can't help but to scratch it and i think due to this it does burn when I urinate but it burns on the skin, not on the inside. I'm not clear on whether the burning sensation when urinating refers to burning on the outside or inside as ive never had a bladder infection or an STD. I don't have any sort of pain or anything like that. I may just have a cold and a regular ol period, but I'm curious as to what else may be going on, if abything so your opinions are appreciated. I do have a gyno appointment in a few weeks and she has std testing in a few days.

Thanks in advance!

Yes I was of course tested beforehand. I do know what stds oral puts you at risk for, my question was whether or not my symptoms sound like symptoms of an STD. Thank you, though.

see your doctor, ask to see her results and if she hasn't been with anyone sinc eyou then its most likely not an STD. Oral is a risk for Gono, HSV and syphilis. As you know women have many reasons for itching, see your GYN or primary doctor.. Also were you tested before entering this relationship? if not then you should consider it as well.

Oh and to clarify- we had oral sex. We did not share sex toys nor did we touch ourselves and then each other. Basically-no vaginal fluid was exchanged between genitals.
