I first want to say how much I love this forum. You are all so supportive, and got me through the roughest time of my life 3 years ago
. I use to go by the name "Google," but had to change it because I forgot my password. Anyways, in July of 2007 I found out I had HPV after an abnormal pap smear. I turned to this forum for support, and boy did I get it. Thank you! After 3 years in June 2010 my pap smear finally came back normal, and I was HPV negative (happiest day of my life).
Today I am 9 weeks pregnant, and went to my first prenatal checkup. The drew my blood, and gave me a pap smear. I am a little worried because during the pap smear I started to bleed a little, which the dr. said sometimes happens. I am very paranoid about these things, and am wondering if maybe I started to bleed because the HPV came back. I heard that pregnancy tends to bring HPV back
. I am a nervous wrack right now, I just want everything to go well with the pregnancy. Also, I had a pretty stressful year last year, so I am wondering whether that could trigger the HPV to come back. Oh and of course my husband and I stopped using condoms because we were trying to get pregnant. In any case, how likely is it that my HPV is back?
Hope you can answer these for me, and thank you in advance.
