I had an abnormal pap smear and had to have a cervical biopsy. Results where positive for HPV and abnormal cells. I was told to have another biopsy in 6 months. Thing is i want to get pregnant and dont know the risks if any. Also i have severe back problems and am on pain management. I take Norcos and morphene and flexeril. Im not sure if flexeril is safe in pregnancy and although im in a lot of pain i am gradually taking less pain-pills. I have a 4 year old and only took a couple of vicodin towards the end the end of my pregnancy. I started pain managent about 2 years ago. I have my period at the moment and dont intend to go back on the pill. Reason im not waiting until my next biopsy is because i want another baby now and because my husband doesnt want to wait because he feels hes too old to wait much longer.
Im so confused, Im worried that if i do have cervical cancer and wait too long it might be severe.
Ive been having physio for my back for the last month. Im not positive its doing much good but having a baby is more important to me so I will continue to lessen my medication and i figure i should be off them totally by the time i ovulate. As ive been on the contraceptive pill it will probably take at least a couple of months before id conceive anyway. Ive also been on Buspar for the last couple of weeks for anxiety and although it says its quite safe in pregnancy i intend to go off that too. Question i really want to ask is, are there risks involved being HPV positive and could i have my abnormal cells checked even if im pregnant???
