Question:
I just need to get this out. My doctor took a culture of a sore I had two weeks ago today. He told me that the test results wouldn't be in for 2-3 weeks. Technically, I could call to see if they have come in, but I am too scared to. Most likely they won't be in yet, it's pretty early, but if they are (and it's positive), then I will never again be able to "pretend" for a split second that I don't have it. (When I say pretend, I don't mean I would ignore it and pass it along - I am married and pregnant, BTW) I mean like when I am going to bed and the worry creeps into my head, I can sometimes push it out and tell myself I don't have it so I can sleep.

My stomach is in knots. When I left the doctors two weeks ago, I kept thinking that I wished that they could run it under a microscope right there and come back and tell me what it was. Now, I am terrified to call, I don't want to know for sure b/c I am almost positive that it is H.
He told me that I could call him and he would let me know.
I have a doctors appointment (pregnancy) with him on the 17th. Should I just wait and find out then? He told me that it's too dangerous to treat it at this stage in my pregnancy so if I wait to find out then, it's not like I am putting the baby at more risk by doing so.

What would you do?
SIGH.......

Answer:
There is a saying,"ignorance is bliss". I didn't know I had it until a couple of years ago when I gave it to someone. But, not knowing does not change the situation. If you have it, you have it. It's best to learn the news and then take it from there. It is better to know the truth than worry about what might be.
