Could what I have be herpes?
I have researched the herpes virus over and over again, and I still can't find the answers that I want. I guess Google can only do so much for you. Anyway...
I started noticing a slight pain when I wiped myself a few days after I had gotten a bad tooth pulled. Though it wasn't around my vaginal opening. At first I thought I had shaved too close and it was an ingrown hair. But when I looked closer, I saw 3 canker sore things in a row on the upper part of my vagina, and then one off to the side. It was below the hairline...and it struck me as odd. If not really frightening.
I've had this for about a week now, and just a few days ago I noticed two more sores, but on the other side. I haven't had any flu like symptoms, It doesn't hurt to walk or pee....I just feel some slight discomfort and random itching. I have only ever had one sex partner, and I am still with him. We had unprotected sex twice.
Though if it is herpes, I'm considering myself lucky. Most say the first outbreak is the worst....this just feels like a rash. Please give me any advice you can....

would you think that if you caught a cold from this partner? germs are germs, don't let the idea that something is sexually transmitted get to you.
Well...I just went to the doctor today, and I get my test results back in about 3 or 4 days.
I'm terrified, and with all these other issues going on in my life, I just might crack and send myself to an early grave.
I'm serious though...the thing I fear most is being abandoned by the ones I love. And I just find it super unlucky that I would contract this disease with my first boyfriend.
Someone from above must not like me very much. ):

I have 2 dogs as cover so folks don't realize I'm a crazy cat lady....he he he
just be honest with your partner - probably best to do it face to face rather by text or over the phone but just let him know that you've been to the doctor and received some surprising news and need to talk to him about a few things.

That's great. I got that down, and I thank you for your answer. BUT...
How do I bring this up? I just....
Look, I can handle a few outbreaks here and there. If that's how it has to be, then fine. But I would rather not be rejected by society and be forever alone and become some scary cat lady.
I was a clueless virgin not to long ago, and virus free for that matter. I'm horribly scared. I don't want my life to go down the drain already.

at this point, sit down with your partner and talk about all of this. both of you should seek out full std testing and make sure it includes herpes igg blood testing too to see who has what. once you know the basics, then you can figure out what to do next. should you get a recurrence of symptoms, be seen promptly.
No...No I did not. Because I am obviously the biggest idiot on planet Earth. My love sickness blinded my ability to have good judgement apparently. And oddly enough...whatever this is...it's healing. :| I don't have any scabs or anything...it's just kind of disappearing.

have you been seen yet? it's important to be seen sooner rather than later when you have genital lesions.
since you are having unprotected sex, did you both seek out full std testing that included herpes igg blood testing prior to starting to be intimate together?
