HPV now Uterine Fibroids...gosh!

[AquaGrl08]

Hi I have been living the most shocking times lately, it all started with my 35 years old regular check up, it turned out I got 9,6 anemia, since then my gyn had performed a pap smear which became abnormal, then a colposcopy and a biopsy which stated  I gota CIN 1 dysplasia related to HPV, I have been under treatment since this past august, my daily takes are Vitamin C, E, Beta carotene, folic acid, Omega 3. and an iron rich diet, my latest blood test says i am now 13 in homoglobine, and my numbers seems getting "normal". I am taking Interferon shots once a week (5 mill U), for the first 6 weeks then once each month and i am programed to get a cryosurgery next Dec 19th. to fix the dysplasia. BUT last thursday I got an untrasound and it turned out I have uterine fibroids(Myoma)  in large number and size (the biggest one almost 4" - or 10 cm), some subserosal and one peduculated (inside the uterus). She said I have 3 options: 1.- let them there and keep checking the bleeding during my periods and doing ultrasounds each 6 months, with the knowledge that if the bleeding becomes heavy the uterus is gone for sure. This option is the one she said is the best if I want to have one children in the future, she stated that I can only can aim for 1 baby and that due the fibroids the chances of getting pregnant are very little, and as soon as the baby is done the uterus is gone. 2.- take out the uterus out right now. 3.- get chemio and radiation. which she said will make me sterile any way. so she thinks this is not an option at all.
So I am more about staying for the option No.1 where I keep my uterus just in case i am able to have a baby, have to say since I am under HPV treatment I will not be able to get pregnant for at least 2 years so by the time I am "free" to have a baby I will be 37 years old. Seems this will be kind of a mission impossible for me to get a baby of my own...
I wonder if you guys have some imputs regarding this fiborids stuff, is there a way to live with them and some way do not let them grow or make them go away (in my dreams i wish!)....how is it to live with uterine fibroids and be in the hope for a baby in the future???  wish you health! and thank you for giving me some thoughts on this.... More Options??? 4., 5, 6...any??

I very proud of you amanda. How you can deal with all of that and still be positive. Well I was told that I have hpv my pap was normal tho, and today I found out that I have fibroids too and I am only 17. I feel like I was'nt explained very well about what is going on with my body. I am confused, depressed, and tired. No one will tell me what to do I suppose to just sit here and just wait 3 months to have another pap and 6 months to have another ultrasound for them to look at the fibroids, but what happens now, tomorrow or years from now I mean I want to have a child one day but I dont know im so confused I kno it might be too much to ask for but please help....thank you... and god bless you...

I also have HPV.  Its a virus, and some forms of it can lead to displasia, and possibly cervical cancer.  I had displasia years ago (it was very early), and had a procedure done much like a D&C.  I have had normal paps since.  But there is no real treatment for the actual virus itself. It can also cause genital warts, which are easily treated. I have been assured and reassured it has absolutely no bearing on my ability to conceive or carry (it was one of the first things I asked about when I was pregnant the first time).  I am a bit confused about the chemo and radiation?  I would be seeing a second opinion.  Sorry your having a tough time, but things have a way of working themselves out.  Take care,  Amanda

Hi,
I am sorry to hear about your medical situation.  It must be difficult.
I don't know about fibroids, but I had a friend who had some removed years ago because they grew so big.  She went on to have 2 healthy babies starting at 37 or 38.
As far as HPV.  I had another friend who had this as well and it showed its ugly head  about 9 months after her son was born.  She had it taken care of ( I believe they cautorize it?, not sure - out patient procedure) .  She went on  to have a Beautiful healthy baby girl 2 years after that.
Hope this helps,
Lisa
