Speak to your Dr.: If you are having outbreaks with every cycle then i would speak to a dr about suppressive therapy. Also try taking lysine 500mg once a day, you can buy it at gnc. I have had a few patients who say it works and would love to know if it works for you.

Not usually: You should speak with your doctor. You may very well be having an outbreak that often. If so, there are a few medicines that can be used to keep the frequency down. I would definitely talk to him/her about your options here, so you can be more comfortable and less contagious.
