Are cold sores an early sign of pregnancy?

Answer 1

Your symptoms of pregnancy will usually appear anywhere from the first week of your expected period to 1-2 weeks after your first week of expected period. Your first signs of pregnancy most commonly include missed period, tender/swollen breasts, change in color of the breasts, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, increased sense of smell, and weight gain.

Pregnancy and menstruation hormones can trigger an outbreak of cold sores. In pregnancy, the cold sores can come much more frequent and may be worse than usual. It can be a symptom that appears before any other pregnancy symptoms appear. For many, the issue can be resolved from daily intake of L-Lysine, found in the vitamin section at most stores.
