The Gardasil shot is for people who do not have cervical dysplasia or had exposure to HPV yet.  That's why they want young girls to get it.  If you have cervical dysplasia diagnosed with a PAP test, you need to have it treated to prevent or at least reduce your chances of getting cervical cancer.  

Tobacco will cause you nothing but pain and heartache.  Why put off the inevitable withdrawal?  I've known many women who use it to control appetite, but it is NOT WORTH IT!   There are thousands of harmful chemicals added to already problematic tobacco, and cancer is not pretty.  Your cells are also being robbed of life-giving oxygen, so your youthful appearance is also going up in smoke!  Your teeth and gums are at high risk.  You don't look or smell healthy.  Your spending money is going to tobacco companies instead of healthy pasttimes.  

Take up the nicotine gum or try Chantix or do whatever it takes to quit this horrible product.  Then you can think about bringing a child into this world with that worry behind you.

i think smoking can make it harder, but i don't think it would prevent you from having a baby. however, if you get pregenant, smoking during pregnancy can cause birth defects and learning disorders.

abnormal cells in the cervix...your doctor should have told you something to do. ask your doctor first, but i definitely reccommend the Gardasil shot. i've heard nothing but good about it and i just got my last dose of it. i prevents cervical cancer.

if you have abnormalcells in your cervix, you will probably have trouble getting pregnant the old fashioned way, so you and your husband might want to condier InVitro and a C-Section.

but that's all way down the road. quit smoking before you do anything else wih having a baby.
