I think (and hope) I may be pregnant, obviously need to take a test soon etc etc. But I have developed a cold sore, I was wondering if this could be becuase I was pregnant (as I haven't had one for years). Any ideas anyone??

hello,

i am no doctor or anything, but the same thing has happened to me. I was doing so research and do to increased hormones or lowered immune system you can get a cold sore.

good luck!!

I am also thinking i might be pregnant, af doesnt start until the 22, but i have had some symptoms of pg. Out of the blue i have got a cold sore, which i thought was so weird, i haven't had one in two years. So maybe it is a sign?

Hey girls! I have praying for a cold sore for 8 months now.

YES - I got a cold sore 1 wk before AF when I got pg with my daughter.

I was so excited when I got the BFP and when I told my mom and my MIL - they both said they already knew since I had a cold sore last week. Of course, I laughed and said - why didn't you say anything last week!!!!!

Anyway - it is a sign and a good one at that! I always thought it was due to tummy upset with early pg!

Post back and let me know if the theory is true or whether mine was just a fluke!

WISHING you all the best!
