Leep procedure

Hi there. I was wondering if anyone has had the leep procedure to remove pre-cancerous cervical cells. If so, did you have trouble conceiving? I had the procedure in October. My Dr. told me that things look good post op, but she said it is always possible that it could cause problems TTC. We are on month 1 TTC and we got a BFN this month. By no means did I think it would happen right away. I realize it may take up to a year or so. I was just looking to hear other ppls stories and maybe some positive outcomes ? Thanks Ladies.

I had the leep procedure, but I did not try to conceive until 5 years later.  I'm currently pg with #3, and we have been blessed to have no trouble conceiving.  Best of luck to you.

I also had a LEEP in October, and my OB said we could start trying in December. We were totally shocked to get a BFP on our first cycle. With DS 1, it took us over a year of trying.

I know how frustrating it is when you're trying for that bfp but it can take healthy couples up to a year to conceive.

I posted on TTC board when I was going through everything, and lots of ladies shared success stories, so don't panic from the horror stories on google there are a lot of success stories out there too!

I had one. My doctor said in no way would it cause trouble conceiving. Once pregnant it could be an issue but most likely not. I had to take clomid to conceive, nothing to do with the LEEP and it worked the first time. 

Off BCP since 1/12
TTC since 3/12
High LH/FSH Ratio 8/12
DX with PCOS 11/12
Clomid 50mg - 19.5mm Follie - Trigger + TI = BFP! 11/12

BIL's girlfriend had a leep done when they were TTC and she got her BFP 2 cycles later.  I don't know if it hurt or help but I guess they had been trying for a while before the proceedure.

I had one done and a few months later conceived my DS. I had the same concerns as you. Try to stay positive and remember that it can take healthy couple up to a year to conceive! Good luck!

I had one and have no problem getting pregnant. It was about 7 years ago, though.

I had the Leep procedure and got quite a bit taken out, but I have had no problem getting pregnant. I did, however, cause some problems during the delivery of my 2nd child. She was the first to come after the procedure. I would not dilate beyond 1cm due to the scar, and came very close to having a c-section. With some help from the doc, she did finally break through. No problem with my 3rd baby though. I know it is' frustrating when you don't get pregnant right away, but you most likely just need some time (and sex every other day). You may try keeping track of you basal temp to see when you ovulate. Fertilityfriend.com is a good and free resourse for that.

I had a Leep done about 9 years ago, and I conceived DS and was not trying . Now I am KU again. my OB did say though that I would have to have extra ultrasounds at 16,20& 24 weeks though to make sure that my cervix was thick enough..

I had a leep about 10 years before TTC.  I had no trouble conceiving.  I did have some trouble with my cervix not dilating because of the scarring, but it did dilate (and VERY suddenly) when the scar tissue gave way.

I had one years ago and my doc felt it would not affect my chances of getting pregnant.

Thank you all so much for your stories. This really makes me feel a lot better. I am going to try to stay positive and pray for the best Smile. I have been temping and using opk's, so hopefully we will get our BFP in the near future !

I had one 3 years ago.

Our BFP came first cycle of trying, 4 months after Mirena removal. My dr's only concern is that I may have trouble dialating. Mirena insertion and removal were painful for me. I don't know if the LEEP had anything to do with it.
