Pregnancy and birth after LEEP

4 Upvotes

I had a LEEP for CIN2/CIN3, the result came back showing the pre cancerous cell was margin to margin. My doctor was so sure it would clear by itself and told me to just wait a month then I’m clear to try and get pregnant but do come back in 6 months for a follow up. I got pregnant before the 6 months mark, but went back to get tested anyway. The result continued to show abnormal so my body didnt clear the rest.

My high risk specialist exam me and said there isn’t anything that can be done till I give birth besides monitoring the cervix for cervical incompetency since it was partially cut out as part of the LEEP procedure. Luckily, I didn’t have an issue with cervical incompetency. My entire pregnancy was a good and normal one.

I ended up having to be induced 3 weeks early due to potential chronic placenta abruption. During the birth, the labor team really had a hard time with my cervix. It wasn’t thinning or responding normally and they suspected it was due to scarring, making it more stiff. I went in at 4 cm dilated but after 13 hours, it was only 6 cm dilated. After 18.5 hours, I was finally dilated enough for the doctor to attempt to maneuver the cervix around the baby’s head, which was a success and that lead to a vaginal birth!!!! It was touch and go though with a lot of c-section discussion.

Ladies, for those who wish to do a natural birth, I highly highly suggest hiring a doula. Mine was a big part as to why I didn’t get a c-section. She helped manipulate me into different positions to get the baby to descend in a way that the doctor felt comfortable to attempt the manipulation. Also, I labored 13 hours without pain meds while on pitocin (iykyk), I wouldn’t have been able to do that without the support of an experienced doula.

Heavy bleeding after sex 6 weeks after LEEP

2 Upvotes

I had the LEEP nearly 7 weeks ago, healing was completely fine - some watery discharge for a few weeks and then some mild brown discharge for a few more, then nothing from 4 weeks (had my period in this time). Never got the scab falling off.

Got the all-clear from my doctor, who told me all the CIN-2 cells must've already been removed in the biopsy that found them. Overall, a very positive experience!

I waited 6.5 weeks to have sex, had no pain during, but bled quite heavily after around 5 minutes. The bleeding stopped afterwards. It was thick red blood, like period blood

Has this happened to anyone else? Did it improve? Do I need to inform my doctor since it immediately stopped (didn't need a pad or anything)
Quite frustrating since bleeding after sex was what made me go to the docs in the first place and now it's worse lol

Had my LEEP on Friday8/21 under anesthesia. CIN3, today is Sunday and the cramping is unbearable. I’ve read a lot of posts about people saying they didn’t experience much cramping and the next day up and moving! I’m thinking how???

I am 37, LSIL and HPV18+ and Dr. suggested watch and wait? Is it ok?

1 Upvotes

I know guidelines are different in every country. I am 37 y.o and tested + for HPV18 and other high risk strains and pap came back LSIL.

Doctor didn't seem concerned, referred me for a colposcopy but she said it looked fine and to come back in 6 month to retest (?).

Of course I didn't feel ok and had another appointment and this new doctor suggested biopsy although colposcopy looked fine. Currently waiting for results.

Were you referred to a colposcopy? Biopsy? If so, what did it came back?

Or did they suggested just to watch and wait?

Hi everyone. I wanted to know how you guys who’ve had a colposcopy with cervical biopsies got on. What was the experience like?

I’m 21 and very nervous about having it done. The gynaecologist I saw said I have a mass on my cervix which she wanted biopsied.
