Does hpv decrease the chances of conceiving a child?

Its Ok
Hey, when I found out that my ex had gave me hpv or dysplisa (whichever you wanna call it) I freaked I thought my life was over, etc etc etc. Well anyways when I had the colpascapee (however you spell it) I found out that mine is in stage 2 and 3. So naturally my first question was can I have children. My doctor reassured me that I can and it was quite normal. Well a year and a half went by no baby and I began to think that I couldn't. That is until last monday when my husbaknd and I found out that we are pregnant with our first child! So yay!! Don't give up from what I understand its just harder due to the fact that hpv makes ur "insides" inflammed so good luck to you!

Well I cant speak for myself but mynext door neighbor had that and she now has 4 children. So the answer is that you can still have children, but she had to have a c section becuase she had an outbreak or what ever she called it.. Good luck to you

Well, you never said which form you had as there are over 100 different forms of hpv.. Not to mention, they found out condoms don't protect against transmitting it.. So the number of people getting it are rising.

I have the type that affects the cells and tissue in my cervix. I too thought my life was over because when the doc first told me I had hpv, first thing I thought were the warts since that was the only one I had ever heard of. Lol. But luckily that wasn't the type.

Unfortuanately, right after finding out I had it, I developed stage 1 cervical cancer. So I had to get the leep procedure done (where they cut out the cancer, cancerous cells and tissue). Not fun, that's for sure.

But as getting pregnant with hpv.. It might be a little harder as long as your paps come back abnormal. From what my doc told me is, when a test comes back abnormal, the hpv is kicking up. But when it comes back normal, it is dormant at the time. So when it's in full blast, when it inflames your cervix, could make it a little harder to conceive. When it's dormant, it's like you never had it, so your chances are what they would be if you didn't have it.

From having the surgery I did, I have the chances of not being able to become pregnant so easy because of the scar tissue I have now. It can mess with your period, depending on what type you have. But just to be safe, I would take a pregnancy test to be sure. If it comes back negative, get into your doctor.

This is what I have learned about hpv. 3 in every 5 people have it. If you have had sex with 3 people chances are you have it. It presents itself in women more than men. There is no way to test for it or prevent it (besides no sex). Some people get lessons on the inter parts and others on the outer parts. There are certain things you can do to prevent an out break. But I have heard that women tend to breakout due to pregnancy. Hope that helps a little bit

Thank-you guys! That information really helped and really made me realize that sex is a really scary thing... My boyfriend and I broke up last night b/c of it but he refuses to believe that most sexually active people carry an hpv strand of some sort...O well I guess I deserve better ne way! I'm starting to hope he transmits it to some dumb prostitute some where...Lol sorry a bit pissed off I guess... O well at least i'm not preg or ne thing!!!

Funny you guys should be talking about this. I went to my doctor yesterday to have a blood test done for pregnancy and she tells me my pap came back showing pre-cancer cells. (hpv?) she never said hpv. Anyway I haven't felt very good lately and think I might be pregnant. I haven't gotten the results from my blood work done but now I am nervous has this sickness has been from pregnancy or the other. Anyone know?????????

.

Well, there are soooo many types of hpv out there and now about 80% of people have one form or more (and don't even know it). One kind that is noticeable to the eye, are genital warts. The other kinds affect other parts. You see people with warts on their hands? That is a type of hpv, even kids have it. You don't have to have sex with someone to get it either.

I have the kind that affects the cells in my cervix, causing them to grow into cancerous cells. About 2 years ago I was hit with a big whammy. They told me I had hpv (first thing I thought was the warts kind and freaked lol), then they told me my cells formed into cancer. Had to have surgery to remove it.

My bf and I were on a "break" for about 6 months, with which in that time he was seeing a few girls and constantly going to a certain strip club because of one of the girls there. Then I find out I have hpv. I called him up as soon as I got home and went off on him lol. This was before the doctor really explained it all to me. All I can figure is he was a carrier of it and gave it to me after messing around with dirty girls. (i'm not saying strippers are dirty.. But the one he was seeing was a prostitute).

Only way you'll be able to know if you have it or not is if a pap comes back abnormal and different tests show you have it. It can and does go dormant for a while. My last 2 paps came back normal, which is good.
