I am starting to be more concerned with my body. I am 31 years of age. My husband and I have been trying to get pregant for a few months. I do know that it takes time but that is only a small concern. I have a 10 year old also. I have not been on a birth control for about 8 years now and have never had any pregancy scares so to speak. but the concern that I have and have not been able to get an answer for is that about abnormal paps. I Have been haveing abnormal paps short after I gave birth to my son. I can not recall haveing a normal pap in the last 10 years. so my main question is could all the abnormal paps be a leading cause to why I think i will not get pregant. Thank you for your time,Valerie
Hi Valerie, Do not worry. Since you already have a child and were on birth control for 8 years now, it is unlikely that you have infertility. Abnormal PAP are related to chances of cervical malignancy not infertility. The PAP smear would not affect your chances of getting pregnant. But if you do have a chronic problem of the cervix which is leading to abnormal PAP, It's advisable to get treated for abnormal PAP and then try for a pregnancy. Hope this helps. Regards.
