Is Gardasil Safe?

I had finished getting the Gardasil vaccine a couple months ago and have experienced no side effects or anything that would worry me. I am now hearing all of these stories about how horrible the vaccine could potentially be and that it could put me at risk for future complications in the ability to get pregnant. Could I get some clarification? My doctor told me that it was good and safe for me to get the vaccine and the benefits of helping lower my risk of getting the more common types of HPV were great.

Whitney, I don't think there is any proven safety issues with Gardasil at the present time. I'm not an expert in this area, but there is a very good discussion on this at WebMD and you can read this by Clicking Here
