Question:
Well I've had type II since the end of May. I know that I haven't been around here lately, things have just been kind of hectic, and I can't always dedicate time to spend here.

So I've been having OB's about once a month, shortly after my period...which really sucks because my hubby and I want to start trying for number 2. Kind of hard to hit the "magic" week when I'm in the middle of an OB. I'm going to put a call into my Dr. about supressive therapy. But I was wondering if anyone out here is taking Valtrex daily, and how it's working for them. Is it really helping to curb the OB's?? I can handle them, as they really aren't as bad as I had thought, but for crying out loud we want to get pregos!

Any input will be greatly appreciated!

Answer:
I was diagnoised with GH not too long ago but do take Valtrex daily. I've only had one OB and that was before I knew what it was. So far iv'e been good but mind you I've only had this for about a month and a half. I know that OB's tend to happen right around your menstral cycle (not looking forward to that) but with the Valtrex im hoping that won't happen. When i first started taking it I was on 1GM twice a day (when i had my OB) then I moved to 500 mg once a day. I take mine at night right before i go to bed. It spreds the pill taking out. I take my vitamins in the morning. So far everything has been going great with it. Best of luck on getting prego! :) Hope it all works out. Keep me posted

Answer:
i have been taking it also. I was diagnosed just about two weeks ago. Everything had healed then the day before my period I had another OB. My Ob's are very minor but frustrating. I upped my dosage to counteract the OB and it's still here but only a very small bump. My OB's do not turn into blisters, or haven't so far anyway. I'm hoping if I continue on the Valtrex I can get this undercontrol and get my life back because right now this is all I think about. I'm taking vitamins as well. I will let you know how it goes!

I am curious...how long do you Ob's last? I want to have a family someday too...and I don't want this taking over my life!

Answer:
Shortest OB I think was 3 days and longest was 3 weeks :mad:

Answer:
mine was about a week (my first one) and i don't want it taking over my life either. ive always dreamed of having a family (think almost everyone has) and would hate to think i couldn't ever have kids. thats' a really scary thought for me.
