Hello and thank you for your question.
It is likely that when you say you were "treated for HPV" that the treatment entailed either cutting out, burning, or freezing the cells that harbored the HPV virus, and thus was able to rid you of HPV in that area. It is possible to have HPV in other parts of the body such as the mouth, anus, or throat, but we do not have any great screening test for this. I would suggest continuing to have your regular screenings as recommended by your doctor, and if you have any symptoms or new lesions appearing in other areas of the body, please schedule an appointment with your doctor to have them evaluated.

When considering whether or not a medication can be taken in pregnancy, you must determine what category the medication falls in. Many of the ADHD medications are category C in pregnancy and they have amphetamines in them. Medications that are category C or any category for that matter one must weigh the benefits of taking the medication over the risks of not taking it. At the end of the day you have to make this decision for yourself and in doing so educate yourself on all the potential adverse reactions and be willing to accept those potential adverse reactions when deciding to take any medication pregnant or not. Also, medications may fall into one category during pregnancy but may fall into an entirely different category when breastfeeding, so you have to be aware of this too. Speak to your doctors (the one who prescribed the ADHD medication & your OB) about all medications you take and plan to take.
