I got exposed to herpes 5 years ago but didnt have my first outbreak until a year and a half later. You get exposed to it and then it sits in your nervous system until, stress, or some kind of sickness ocures that affects your nervous system. The first time, I had a bad yeast infection and i took the pill that gets rid of it really fast... then a week later I was graced with soars. 2 years later I got strep throught really bad and they had to give me a big booster shot of penecillian.... I ended up gettting hot and vommited at the office becuase of the high dose of meds. I then got my second outbreak.
I am now 20 weeks pregnant and had another yeast infection so took the pill again and now have an outbreak. Im thnking Im not going to take that medication anymore! The virus is also brought on by a lot of stress.
I had my long distnace boyfriend move in with me, we got pregnant unexpectedly, then got engaged and married all within the same year. I have had an unusal amount of stress in my life so that has not helped. Im worried for my unborn child and the current outbreak. I also know that you can spread the virus even without an outbreak... has anyone else had that expierience? Im affraid of passing this to my husband!
