Infertile Worry

I am wanting a baby in the next year and I had Leep Surgery done in October I am worried I might be infertile.
I had a pap smear done in July and it came back normal which made me really happy!
I am 24 and have 2 kids and I want another baby really bad.

I am worried because I read up about scarring and infertility is this common??
I am not sure if I should make an appointment with my doctor and he can check everthing out and tell me if I am fertile?? Any Ideas??
I was on birthcontrol pills but quit in april. I was on depo for 2 years but stopped when my son was 2 so over a year ago. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,


There is a small chance of infertility with a LEEP procedure, but from what I understand it usually isn't a concern.

Thanks for your response.
We stopped pulling out end of July so it has been almost 2 months.
I just want to make sure I am not infertile or sterile or if there something causing me not to get pregnant. My doctor hopefully can check that for me.

It is not likely that after effects of the LEEP would cause you not to be able to conceive. That is a rare complication. It can take a while to become pregnant.... its all about the timing. So keep trying!

Hi, if there is no problem with infertility, you should become pregnant within about a year.
