Anyone have LEEP done?!
Question: I have to have the LEEP done. My doctor says since its started to spread inside the cervix he has to remove a little bit more than normal. Then hes going to test the skin to make sure he got it all. He said theres no problem with infertility with the first procedure, but if it comes back that i have to have the leep done again, it could cause infertility. My husband and i are trying to have a baby. Thats how i found out about all this precancer stuff i have, i had a miscarriage. Im going to die if i cant have children. Has anyone had this done twice and had a baby afterwards? And what are the chances they dont get it all the first time?

I've had one but I'm still waiting on my results. No babys. But my Step-mom she had it done twice and she had her first child after the first one and two more healthy boys after the second. Take folic acid pills don't smoke excersise and eat right and your body usually will heal it self. Good luck. I know many women who have had it done once and had no problem I looked up the percentages and its verry little that you can't have children if anything your cervix will get too soft to hold the baby but they can put something in there to help you. You should not have a problem. God be with you I'll pray for you.
I was 18 years old when I was diagnosed with cervical cancer insitu (precancerous cells). I only found out about it because I went in to have my 6 weeks postpartum check up. The procedure itself was not too terrible, and I only had to get it done once. I felt a little traumatized by it because I was so young and no one really explained it to me very well before hand. I was also a bit freaked out by the fact that my leg had a ground wire that was going into my vagina. But like I said I was young and uninformed. The more important part of your question is the fertility issue.
Of course I can not speak for your case, it all depends, as you said, on how many procedures they need to do and how much tissue damage there is. After my procedure, which was 14 years ago, I have gone on to have two other healthy babies, and am thinking about having another. My children were all carried to full term, even a bit over due. And the labor and delivery was normal. I did not have any problems in pregnancy any than the normal complaints.
I hope this gives you the information you are looking for. As always, your doctor is the best source for the information, but it does help to talk to people who have been there done that. If you have any more questions feel free to email me and good luck to you.
