Help needed.
I'm a 19 year old female. I went to the doctor last week and found out that I have HPV. I'm scared as I've always had healthy pap tests. I don't get around, so it bothers me that this happens to me :( The thing the scares me the most is the guy I have been seeing. I have told him this information and he's still interested in me, but we have had unprotected sex a lot (before I found out) and he used the pull out method. Now my period seems to be all messed up. Could this be because of the HPV or is there any chance that I could be pregnant?

Hello,
Irregularity in periods has got nothing to do with HPV and can be due to pregnancy. These can be the symptoms of pregnancy. If you miss your periods then you can test 1 week- 10 days after you miss your periods or you can test for pregnancy by a highly sensitive pregnancy test 10 days post ovulation with a sensitive ( 20 - 25 mIU ) pregnancy test. Also I would suggest you to get your serum HCG levels estimated since this is more specific than urine for pregnancy tests. The HCG (it is a hormone) levels rise only in pregnancy and its presence will confirm the status of your pregnancy.
I hope it helps. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Also, I have been on Prenatal Vitamins, because my doctor wanted me on vitamins and that's what my insurance pays for.
