What's going on with my body

[Manda22]

I just found out I have low risk HPV and I think  might be experiencing pregnancy symptoms. Sore boobs, mild cramping, white discharge is this a sign of pregnancy? I calculated that my ovulation dates and I was very fertile on nov 4th and my bf and I had unprotected sex on that day. I was taking birth control but I got really sick the first week and was basically throwing up the pills. I still decided to continue with the bc until I found out I got Hpv and was really upset about the whole situation and just now realized I haven't taken my pills for a staight week. What do I do?  If I am pregnant can the HPV harm the baby?

C sections for mothers with hpv are not usually recommended because the risk to the baby is very low. In fact, the risk of having a c section is considered more dangerous than the risk of passing hpv to the baby. Btw, you might want to visit the Human Papillomavirus community and read through the posts. It's a good idea whether you are pregnant or not to learn as much as you can about hpv, and gaining knowledge on the virus is likely to make you feel a ton better. Good luck :)

I tested positive for HPV when I was pregnant and was told that it is a low risk that anything could happen to the baby. My daughter is 2 and a half and she doe snot have it. Check with your doc and they will be able to explain it better. by the way I have cervical cancer and had it removed with no complications.

Depending on the strand of HPV, it can harm the baby. If it is genitle warts, then there is a possibility. They can grow in your cervix and the baby could get them anywhere on their body if you gave vaginal birth. If you are pregnant then your obgyn will do a c-section to prevent passing the HPV to the baby. But, you say it is low risk, so the strand you have must not be too serious. Wait till you miss your period, then take a test, don't stress out yet.
