Gardasil vaccination ?

Question

When I was about 13-14 years old I received the 3-4 rounds of gardasil. I was doing some research online the other night. I read that it’s been linked to sterilizing women; causing infertility. I have been TTC for 2 years. Any thoughts ?

Answer

I got it when I was 13 and I'm 25 now and 18 weeks pregnant. I got pregnant within a year of trying. 
It's true, long term studies haven't been done. But it prevents a large number if hpv strains. Some that cause warts and others that cause cervical cancer. 
I'm very lucky, as my first fiancee had hpv and never told me in the two years we were together. If I hadn't gotten the vaccine I'm sure I would be in a far worse position than I am now. 
What's worse- the mere possibility of infertility or the high likelihood of cervical cancer if they ever come in contact with one of those strains? In my opinion,  cancer is worse. Especially because most men never even know they have it.

Answer

There's a lot of misinformation about vaccines. I would take it with a grain of salt.

Answer

Never knew that, but then again i have never actually done any research on it, i know i had the shots for it though. The 2nd one hurt the most! But im 36 weeks pregnant with baby #2 and my 1st is 15mo old. Never had any issues getting pregnant and have never had a mc. Maybe for some women it causes issues though!

Answer

I got it as a teen and I’m 9 weeks pregnant now after trying for 5 months.

Answer

I had it around that age and conceived first try both times. Both healthy pregnancies and no MC or stillbirths.

Answer

Since it’s only been fda approved since around 2007, no long term studies have been done on the vaccine. This is why my mom and I agreed that I would not be receiving this vaccine when it was introduced back then.
I’ve also read how there is a possible link between the vaccine and possible infertility in women, but there’s not enough evidence to prove causality, so at this point it is only a hypothesis.
Your best bet is to not worry too much about the vaccine specifically and see a doctor to run some basic tests and exams to see if they can pinpoint any issues that could cause problems with fertility.

Answer

I had it and am 26w pregnant.
