Unhappy vagina health, yeast infection, curdling thick discharge.

I need some advice on my current vaginal problem, as well as my long term one. PLEASE HELP!

My Vagina Health: To be blunt, honest, and open, I'm a 21 year old college student. I am 5'3", 135 pounds. I have a horrible sleeping pattern, and average diet-sometimes better/sometimes worse. I have had a high sex drive since I figured out that rubbing my vagina feels good, when I was 5, and I have been masturbating almost daily since.

I had regular sex (daily- give or take), since I was 16 until I was almost 20, with 3 different partners.
After I stopped having regular sex, every-time I had random sex I would get a UTI, I would chug a gallon of cranberry juice, and be better by the next day.
I was diagnosed with Herpes, after my entire vagina/vulva broke out in horrible painful, puss-ie, pimple looking, wart things, in March 2010 during the most stressful time of my life.  
The doctor said it wasn't as bad as a normal first herpes break out and that I probably got it from mouth herpes HCV1? The emergency room took a herpes test and I have been unable to get the results since. I haven't had an outbreak since.
After seeing the herps, my new boyfriend wasn't really too eager to get back in the saddle after that, we tried and it would go downhill, and I couldn't really blame him. I had been noticing an increase in fishy oder since the herpes had gone away, and thinking I had experienced odor before and it went away, that smell would too. Finally in June I went to a doctor for another problem, and she told me the doctor in the emergency room should have given me an antibiotic for bacteria from the herpes. She gave me a 7 day treatment and the smell went away.
In August I went in for my yearly, (I have been with my Gyno since I was 16, but live in another state, only see him when I am in town). I let him know of the past problems, but had none at the time, he said herpes is hard to diagnose without the test results, and since I hadn't had another outbreak, he wasn't going to assume I had herpes.
I got a call the following week saying I needed to come back in because my pap came back abnormal, (CIN1). When I came back in, my gyno diagnosed that I just had a yeast infection and gave me a prescription. Second Pap came back normal, STD test came back clean.

Since then, my boyfriend and I have gradually gotten back in the saddle. We call my vagina the angry kitty cause she's so sporadic. The lack of consistent sex makes having sex painful every time we get going, and I bleed lightly every time. It's like I am a virgin again, and as nice as that might feel for my boyfriend, it ***** for me. If I force myself to "take the pain", so to speak, and have sex the following couple days, I am usually good to go daily after that. But we don't have sex on my period, and after that week goes by, I am right back to the same problem.

With all of these problems, my vagina has certainly proven to my boyfriend that penis's are more superior. Not to mention, talking about my gina, (as we refer to her), is a regular topic of discussion, to which I find myself telling my boyfriend "we have an angry kitty on our hands" WAY TOO OFTEN.

And NOW my girl's got a new problem. This is the last straw for me, I need a solution. I want to donate my eggs. I have wanted to donate my eggs for 2 years now, and now it is the right time in my life to start the process. I can't do that with these problems. I am hoping someone here can help.


Here are my symptoms/thoughts/problems listed:

-Diagnosed with strep throat last week, doctor gave me amoxicillin. - 9 Days ago.
-Vulva started to itch (Mostly at night times) - One week ago.
-Itch got progressively worse with a light creamy discharge I put ice on it, drank cranberry juice, ate some yogurt - 5 Days ago.
-Soaked paper towel in a baking soda/water mixture and slept with it on the itch to sooth the itching. - 4 Days ago.
-Purchased 1 Day yeast infection treatment, inserted the bird egg size medication in my vagina. Experienced a highly uncomfortable burning feeling inside my vagina for a few hours. Itching was gone that night. - 3.5 Days ago.
-Extreme discharge throughout the entire next day. Assumed it was the medication exiting.
-Very white, caked on, curd-like discharge. Haven't been able to get it all in the shower, I scrape it off when it gets grossly thick.
-Woke up today to the same curdy discharge, feeling tiny cut-like feeling in random places when I wipe, also near the anus. I showered and thought I cleaned up all the discharged, but had my boyfriend look at it, then he took a picture for me. He thought he might have seen cuts but not in the areas I felt them. The picture looks like it is a littler more red then normal, and their is still quite a bit of white discharge dried to a lot of the more crevice-like areas.
(Dry is also something my vagina never is. I have a very moist vulva usually and I experience a light discharge throughout everyday.)

NOTES:
-I take Sprintec birth-control & Vyvanse-ADHD. (Took the last active Sprintec pill 2 Days ago.)
-I took 2 old Valacyclovir Hydrochloride, (herpes pills) last week when the itching started just incase.
-I have never douched, something about it makes me feel like clearing out all the bacteria that helps my vagina health will not do me any good, but I certainly invite your opinions.

I am exhausted of vagina problems. I just want my healthy, happy, very sexually active kitty cat back.
PLEASE A HELP GIRL OUT! :)

Holy hell girl I have the exact same problems. I'm the same age as you too, so I understand the huge stress of having an unstable sex life and my 'unhappy kitty' constantly letting me down.

Why hasn't anyone commented on this? I need help with this too! I'm sick to death of struggling to get doctors appointments to soothe a burning vagina, and finally getting over an outbreak just to get my period and the whole thing begins again.

I just had my second herpes outbreak, which I treated with antibiotics, after which I got my period almost immediately. And now I have one very unhappy vagina. It's dry and a bit red in places and feels as though I have tiny cuts on my labia and around my anus. I'm thinking these symptoms are fairly Thrush-like, and I've had multiple Thrush infections also. But now I don't know what to do! I just want some easy way to get my healthy happy sex-ready vagina back in play, without a hundred more doctors visits.

PLEASE! HELP US GIRLS OUT!

I wish I could help but I'm having the same exact problem and that is how I ended up here! The herpes, the painful sex, the curdly discharge, the unexplained cuts.  I wish I knew what was going on.
