I am schedule to have leep procedure done
on the 4th of nov. I will also be put to
sleep to have it done because my cervix is
hard to get to and the dr said he needs to
be able to work with my body and get it to
do what he needs it to do and if I were
awake it would be very painful. I am 28
years old and have 1 child but I also want
at least one more. I am just really
worried and stressed right now. Could
someone please tell me what to expect
during and after procedure? What about
infertility possibilities? Thanks so
much!!!

Hi. I have just been diagnosed with
cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (cin1)
(which I think is just another term for
mild cervical dysplasia) after a pap
smear.
So I have been doing a bit of reading on
the subject. I am not an expert of
course, but from everything I have read, a
leep procedure does not affect your
ability to become pregnant or have
children. The procedure would not be
performed while you are pregnant, but if
you are not, its fine.
I believe that the cervical conization
(another procedure) can affect fertility
though.
I am still waiting to see a gynecologist,
so am not sure what he will reccommend for
me.

By now you have had the procedure I had it
done a year ago. I was not put to sleep I
was actually able to see the whole
procudure on a tv monitor that was in my
physicans office. Afterwards my cervix
was packed to prevent bleeding and the
next day or so what ever they packed with
started coming out of my vagina when I
went to the restroom. It smelled soooo
awful

Hi I had the leep last year and recovered
quickly. I had very little bleeding &
only mild cramps that were not painful.
They gave me strong painkillers but I did
not use them & took homeopathic
medicine instead. Unfortunately my leep
did not get rid of all the pre-cancerous
cells but I have read that 90% of women
will be cured with just one leep
procedure. I'm obviously one of the 10%
that it hasn't worked on. Anyway I have
also read that the leep does not affect
fertility or pregnancy, you should be fine
to have another child, I wish you all the
best.
