I had the LEEP done about 3 weeks ago. I was very anxious about the shot as I do NOT like needles at all. When some women say they don't feel the shot, that is just THEIR experience. I felt the shot and it was not pretty. Your heart rate speeds up immediately after getting the injection and if feels like you can't breathe. The procedure is very quick and relatively painless after the injection. They give you a pad to wear afterwards and then you're free to go. I made the awful mistake of allowing my boyfriend to use his fingers on me in the heat of the moment thinking that his finger is a lot smaller and he won't go all the way in I would be fine. WRONG. When they say NOTHING IN THE VAGINA, they mean NOTHING IN THE VAGINA. I started bleeding and I though we'll see if it stops, maybe he just irritated my cervix. The bleeding lasted for a week, and during that week I had clots and there was pain. It subsided a little one day when i called my doc and asked if I needed to be seen right away. She said not if the bleeding has stop (at that moment it did) but when I woke up the next morning a blood clot about the size of a base ball fell and I ran to the ER when they then used this substance (looks like long matches) and they carterized my cervix, that was also very uncomfortable. Here I am a week later (NOTHING IN THE VAGINA) and I am feeling great. No discharge. no blood, no pain, nothing. I won't however do anything sexually with my bf until I get the go ahead from my doctor next week. I just hope that my paps come back normal and that I'll be able to have children and I won't have to go through this again.

I had a leep done in may and it is a surgical procedure where the doctor goes in and removes parts of your cervix that may have precancerous cells on it. Good luck!
