[boosty]

well, i hope you have read all my posts. i havent written to many but a few about the same subject. well, incase you didnt , i will tell you so you can help me with my new question. to analyze and make it short. i missed my period for over a month and a half. did two pregnancy test and both negative. did a pap smear and took the hormone pills to get my period to start. so i was upset and disappointed that i am not pregnant. i will be getting my period by next week. yesterday, my doctor called me and told me that the results of my pap smear is in and its abnormal so now they have to do some tests at the hospital and stuff. HELP ME! what does that mean? what can it be? what are the possiblilites? what should i expect and are the procedures painful? do you think theres a chance that i may not be able to have any more kids? can i still have sex with my husband? any info will help. she told me to wait for two and a half weeks cause my period has to end for them to the testing. i am nervous , scared mess. this time will kill me. give me some infor pleeeease. thank you guys so much. you guys have really helped me so much with my questions.

Yeah... what she said... socgirl is saying exactly what I ment to say!

Have you or him EVER been with anyone else? If not.. then it's not likely.. your right.
If SO... then it's still possible. HPV is a virus. I can be carried all of your life and NEVER show up becuase your body can fight it off by it's self! BUT... If your like me, and some other women, Your body can fight it for so long then it can pop up. My nana didn;t have hers pop up until she was 67 yrs old! Married for a VERY long time.

oh..to answer your question about hpv being an std...it is an std...but it in no way implies that either you or your husband were unfaithful....some women were infected with it years before they actually discover it. Also, your husband could have contracted it from a previous partner he had a long time ago...there's no way he would have known since it doesn't produce symptoms, etc..or anything really, in men.  So, i know the knowledge that it's an std is frightening, but it's not the same as like herpes, chlamydia, etc.  It's more like BV...which is technically an STD, but also does not mean anyone was being unfaithful, sleeping around ,etc.  I hope this helps.

yeah...I've had an abnormal pap before and was told I have HPV, which as someone esle said..it sounds horrifying.  For me, that was about 6 years ago and i've had normal pap smears for the last 5 years....i didn't need any treatment, it just cleared up on it's own.  When you go to your doctor they will probably do a colposcopy to get a better look at the cervix and maybe do a biopsy if they feel it's necessary.  HPV is one of the most common reasons for abnormal pap results.  Even if you have HPV, don't freak out...you'll still be able to have more children, you can still have sex with your husband (he probably gave it to you)..even if he didn't, HPV causes no symptoms, etc for men.  HPV is also extremely common...something like 1 in 4 women have it...so try not to stress too much.  You'll have some minor discomfort from the colposcopy,(if they do a biopsy as well), but it will probably just feel like mild menstrual cramps.  Try to realx a little and you'll get your BFP when nature says you can....it will happen when it happens...though i know it's hard to wait...i've been there before.

oh good. makes sense. so my husband got a physical for his new job. he was fine. could he have it too since were having sex and what does he need to do about it? so i could have gotten it from a relationship like 6 years ago? before my husband? and all this time it didnt show through a pap smear? hmmm. my husband was a virgin when i met him. so it wasnt his past relationship. ewww, all this std talk makes me sick. my friends mother just did a biopsy cause she was bleeding for some reason for a month and a half and she said it was paaaaainful. so i have lots of abdominal pain now that i thought could be because i may have been pregnant. so i guess its because of this. and after i gave birth to my daughter two years ago, i didnt have a pap smear until now. if i did get this thing back then and it hasnt been taken care of all this time. it could be more serious now, right?

your husband already has it, no big deal, there is no treatment, unless you have warts, they just monitor you more closely. I have it now I have been with my Dh for 4 years never caused a problem with either one of us, I dont think there is even a accurate test for men yet, a friend of mine had a abnormal pap, neg for hpv, she had another pap 3 months later it was normal, so sometimes it just happens I guess

i was preggo when i had my last pap smear and it as well came back abnormal but the test dont hurt and sometimes the results are wrong and you might be worrying for nothing take it as it goes and wait until you get the results to weigh your options until then go about your daily life have all the sex you want with your hubby and relax.it'll be alright good luck

i did a little research on hpv and it says that anyone who has intercourse with an infected person, gets it. but i have been with my husband and we both love eachother and are commited and faithful for 4 years. how can that be a std?

I had an abnormal pap for HPV, It was cervical pre cancer, sounds really horrifying, but not much to be concerned about if it's cought. I had a few chunks takin out, didn't feel good but it didn't kill me either! :-) The nurces said I should be able to concieve like crazy becuase the opening in my cervix is bigger! (easyer for the sperm to get in). Anyways, I wouldn't be too upset, At least your intune with your body enough to know when something ain't right and are able to catch it!

As for sex... go for it I say! If it doesn't hurt... and your not having anything go on other than a late period.

I hope everything goes better for you. If it is HPV... Don't worry, it's actully very commen and isn't horrible to deal with. I had more yest infections when I had that though. Bummer.
