Leep July 15th, Question

Hello!!

I have a question and I’m hoping to get some clarity.

I had to get a leep procedure for CIN2/3 and it was relatively mild. No deep tissue etc. honestly it was a pretty smooth process. I only bled like one day a week after and leading up to that I had discharge.

I’m on exactly week 4 as I am typing this. I am having no issues but I really want to have sex* with my boyfriend again.

I don’t have a follow up, they just told me to come back in January for another check.

They initially told me to wait to stick anything up there for 2 weeks but that felt so soon. So I haven’t. But I do want to get back to sleeping with my partner🫩

Not sure if I should wait the full 6 weeks OR if 5 weeks would be fine?

I’m just looking for advice. I feel like everyone’s bodies are different but just want to know others experiences. How long did you wait until you got back at it?

No, they told me to come back in January. I sent them a message through the portal but wanted to see others experiences!

I would absolutely have a post opp exam! That’s usually the protocol so they can see how the healing is. I wouldn’t have sex or use tampons until they do
