Your symptoms suggest that you need to see a Gynocolegist, especially if you are trying to conceive.
If you get a regular exam with a pap smear, the doc can look for signs of HPV.
Honestly, the symptoms you are experiencing can be caused by many many different things...HPV, other STD's, as well as some serious and not so serious health problems that aren't contagious. You really won't be able to diagnose yourself...
However, here is some more info on HPV for you:

you can get pregnant having hpv...Most women who have HPV will not develop any symptoms. However a small number of HPV strains will cause cervical changes. For many women, the first indication of HPV may be an abnormal Pap smear. A Pap smear, which is an examination of cells from a woman’s cervix, may determine her exposure to HPV. Depending on the degree of abnormality of the Pap smear, a health care provider will recommend a repeat Pap smear or another type of testing. DNA testing can determine whether the woman has contracted a high risk or low risk strain of HPV (see next section for an explanation of high risk strains of HPV). If changes on the Pap smear indicate further testing, then accurate diagnosis might require a Colposcopy examination. This is a procedure in which a colposcope (a lighted magnifying device) is used to clearly identify the area(s) of infection. Currently, there is no diagnostic test for males. If a male’s sex partner is diagnosed with HPV, it is likely that he’s also infected.
High risk strains of the virus are linked to cervical changes in women and could possibly lead to cervical cancer. If a woman has regular pap smears, any cervical changes that develop can be monitored and treated, if necessary, making cervical cancer extremely rare. High risk HPV strains are those that are least likely to cause genital warts. Two of these same high risk strains are those that can cause penile cancer in men or anal cancer in those individuals who engage in anal intercourse. These cancers are extremely rare. Transmission rate from mother to baby is unknown but thought to be low

HPV will not cause you to have difficulty conceiving.
You should really talk to your doctor about this. Something is not right about your periods. They would have a better idea of what's going on. To me it sounds like you have what's called secondary amenorrhea. It's where you once had a period, and for some reason it's completely stopped. A lot of things can cause this. Check out this site for some more info:

I would really talk to your doctor about this though. Good luck to you!

i came back after i researched on line.. here is what i found for you.
Pregnancy and Childbirth
Genital warts may cause a number of problems during pregnancy. Sometimes they get larger during pregnancy, making it difficult to urinate. If the warts are in the vagina, they can make the vagina less elastic and cause obstruction during delivery.
Rarely, infants born to women with genital warts develop warts in their throats (laryngeal papillomatosis). Although uncommon, it is a potentially life-threatening condition for the child, requiring frequent laser surgery to prevent obstruction of the breathing passages. Research on the use of interferon therapy with laser surgery indicates that this drug may show promise in slowing the course of the disease.
and as for you period.. i had the same trouble a couple months ago and the doctor told me that i had gastritis. and i was constipated.. yeah i was going to the bathroom regularly but he gave me some pills.. that purple pill and told me to take ex lax
And the only way hpv causes you not to have kids is if it is giving you abnormal paps and pre cancer cells. and that is not all the time because my sister was having a hard time getting pregnant and she found out she had pre cancer cells.. as soon as they were removed 3 months later she was pregnant.. :-)

Honey, if you have HPV you need to go th Gynecolgist very soon--because HPV is the leading cause of Uterine Cancer in women. You need to get a PAP SMEAR very very soon.
