blisters / ulcers on vagina - tested neg for Herpes

Just about every time I have sex there is a burning sensation and then a day or two later I develop small white patches near the opening of my vagina that turn to ulcers.  I had both a blood and swab test for herpes and it came back negative.  I've also been treated with oral antibiotics for BV and Strep b yet the problem has persisted.  I have a new doctor that I'll be seeing Tuesday and she is planning to do a DNA test but I've already seen 4 other doctors who can't seek to figure out what this.  Also, I can't seem to find anything online that matches my symptoms.  Herpes never even matched up - we just tested because we didn't know what else it could be.  BV seems to make sense except that these ulcers don't seem to be a symptom of it according to sites like the mayo clinic.  Strep b info is so scant that I really don't know if that could be it or not.  I did a test for Chlamydia BEFORE all this started and it was negative (I was pregnant so it was standard procedure) but now I'm wondering if I should have another test...Anyhow, any insight would be appreciated!

When people post they do not hang around and this post was from 2009. I suggest you take my suggestion that I gave to the original poster.

The symptoms do not really match up with a STD. I am not sure what it is, or what it could be. Keep your appointment on Tuesday and I hope this new Dr can help you.
