Sorry to hear of your losses. I just wanted to let you know that I was
treated for genital warts 10 years ago. I had already had one child
before that, and I've had 2 children since that time and no miscarriages
(until this past year ttc #4, but I'm 38, so I figure that's to be
expected). But just to let you know that the HPV did not affect my
conception abilities for the 3 children I have.
