Cheated on while pregnant- STI worry

54 replies

Name change (again) as I am so embarrassed.

I am 28 weeks pregnant. My now ex-partner was sleeping with another woman while I was between 12-18 weeks pregnant.

When I found out he admitted the sex with her was unprotected.

I have been to the GUM clinic twice for testing now which has come back clear. They advised me after the initial check to come back every 4-6 weeks just to be sure as some things take longer to show up.

HOWEVER- tonight I am freaking out as something just didn't feel right down there. I've checked with a mirror and can see at least 3 lesions in my vagina on one side. They are quite flat and inflamed looking.

I've immediately thought herpes as I know they don't test for this, but I've googled images Blush and the sores look smaller than mine and with white bits on them.

I'm obviously going to call the GUM clinic first thing tomorrow but I'm freaking out, upset and wondered if anyone had any experience?

Just to update- swabs came back clear for herpes!

Sores are still there so going back Monday for them to have another look. But thank goodness it's not Herpes.

The last 2 weeks has been horrendous with worry. Thank you to everyone for your support. I'm never going near a man ever again!

Really pleased for you! Huge relief I'm sure. I have had ulcers down there before, it was stress and exhaustion.
