I'm 7 DPO and i had a cold sore break out start yesterday on my lower lip. I called in for my Rx of valtrex (generic) and i'm going to pick it up. They have me take 2 pills then 12 hours later take the other 2. This happens every 6 months or so due to the immune suppressants i was on. I plan on talking to the Pharmacist when i pick up the meds but since i dont actually "know" if i'm pregnant or not i have a feeling they will just tell me to take it. Any thoughts?

If you think you might be pg, I wouldn't take it, just to be on the safe side.

Yeah I wouldn't take it if you are actively TTC. Is there something topical that won't get in your bloodstream that you can use until you know for sure?

I'm fairly certain its 100% safe to take! Pregnant women are required up take it the two months leading up to the due date to prevent transmission to baby (different type but still).

I just got back from the pharmacy and the pharmacist gave me the ok to take it. he said esp this early in the game. it would be out of my system 12-24 hours after my last dose tonight. if i wasnt in such pain i probably would have just rode it out but i have two almost right on top of each other.

It wouldn't be a problem anyway, many pregnant women take Valtrex in the last few months of their pregnancy like @LindsayInNYC said.
