Question: I'm five years married and TTC. I have genital herpes with outbreaks that only happen in one small spot, always during my period. We've always avoided contact during any symptoms. My husband has avoided transmission completely. We are trying to conceive and are concerned bc by my fertile window, the one small blister that shows up (my only symptom) isn't always fully healed. So is our only option skipping attempts to get pregnant any month where the blister has showed up during my period? 2 Problems:
1) I've got to alter several regular medications while trying to conceive (requires a bunch of specific planning and effort)... so skipping a month is a royal pain and
2) the stress of TTC and reducing medications (that i take for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, adhd and crohns) is causing breakouts as often as every other period.

My husband has suggested covering the tiny spot with newskin bandage (waterproof, germ barrier) and just continuing trying to conceive each month regardless of HSV2 symptom. Thoughts?
