Well this is embarrassing but this is the first time I’ve had a abnormal Pap smear & tested positive for hpv and I’m freaking out being pregnant & just don’t understand it at all 😭🤢🤮 has anyone else had this happen during pregnancy? Can it make you sick ?
I’m scared, emotional, feel disgusted , & hurt 😢
I've had HPV. It was when I was in my early 20s. Its gone now, and I never had any treatment
@mrs.watkins4715 most of the time it does go away, but you just need to keep getting paps to keep an eye on it because sometimes it needs treatment. There's no reason to be ashamed, 1 in 3 people have HPV, or some insane number like that
@two.tiny.texans, I’m unsure when they can do another Pap smear and unsure of treatment through pregnancy they didn’t explain anything to me they acted like I was a disease and I was balling my eyes out and they didn’t explain nothing
I have. My dr told me it goes away for a lot of people after vaginal birth. I had my baby and was tested again and was still positive. I had a leep done in May and tested positive again after. I go in September for another procedure.
Hpv can be contracted a LOT of different ways.
Like @pottmouthed_stirredup said, it can be dormant and it can even just go away.
I had HPV but there are diff strains. Some strains lead to genital herpes. Other strains lead to cervical cancer. Usually an abnormal pap that tests positive for HPV means you have to go back for a cervical exam, OB paints your cervix w solution to show abnormal cell areas and then biopsies them to find out how bad the cells are. There’s a lot of steps in between. Just start educating yourself but try not to freak out.
I had low grade cancerous cells when I had my biopsies done, followed through w cryotherapy (they froze my cervix w nitrogen or something like that) and ever since, my paps have been clear about 14 years ago. I’ve had about 3 diff partners since then.
Yes I,agree but it.call cause warts not herpes. And I had hsil n mine vanished lol they said it can come be back worse. But my sons 18momths and it was normal when I was 6months pregnant and I'm good so far :)
@pottmouthed_stirredup, sorry that’s right genital warts, not herpes
@mrs.watkins4715 I'd just ask for a retest at your next appointment or schedule a separate appointment sooner.
ETA: It can take a while to test positive for hpv so even if you tested negative previously, you could still have contracted it from him.
@mychemicalshaymance, I’m going to try that for sure
@mrs.watkins4715 don't know if you'll see my edit but it can take up to years to actually test positive. So at this point it could be either. Just have an honest conversation with your husband and ask (if you don't already know) if he had any sexual partners during your split.
It's an STI, that's pretty all I know apart from needing to stay away or use protection during flare ups.
Yes mam I had abnormal for 9 years! Then diagnosed w hsil then I skipped out on my hysterectomy and got pregnant w my son boo and it all disappeared!
@mychemicalshaymance no I had about 20pap smears and they was all abnormal.they said it can go dorment
That's kind of what mine did. Mine was abnormal sense my first one. Abnormal cells or something. Had my first and it went away
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?

Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
