I had LEEP...no children but from what my doctor told me it really shouldnt affect carrying children. They only remove really thin layers of the cervix.

its the removal of abnormal cervical cells not cancerous cells. I did not have cancer and had the abnormal cells removed 9 yrs ago and have had normal paps since.

Rita, if they feel you have an incompentent cervix they will give you a cerclage. Basically they sew the cervix shut. Some women after leep end up having this problem. Some people without leep have this problem.

rita i have had this done and i recetntly posted this topic on LIF under the pregnancy board and the parenting board i beleive.

all the responses i got back were positive. many girls have had it and had smooth healthy pregnancies. a few said they were labeled 'high risk' but that was only because in the beginning they were screened a little more than others.

the answers def made my nervousness and doubt go away.
i'll try and find the posts for you

here's the posts

Thank you so much!!!

I had a mc and never had that procedure.

I don't think you should stress or worry too much about it though. I think it's more important to remain calm and positive.

one of my friends had to get abnormal cells removed multiple times.

!st time she got pregnant she miscarried. Only to get pregnant 2 months later and is now mama to a beautiful baby girl!
