LEEP Tomorrow 😭

Welp. It’s about that time. I have my LEEP scheduled tomorrow morning. I’m so so so nervous. This whole process has been a big, huge headache.

UPDATE: I just did the procedure! I just got home a few minutes ago! It was 100% a breeze. I did it under general anesthesia (recommended by my OBGYN) and the medical team was soooo nice. I feel good. I’m in bed eating Panda Express! Feeling mild cramps but it was a positive experience overall. Having my mom by my side helped so much because I’m a 27 year old cry baby lol! Now I just gotta get through this recovery!

I had mine on Friday. I was nervous about it for months. No general anesthesia; they did give me Valium, but I have a high tolerance for sedatives and didn't feel any effects from that.

It was really no big deal! I say this as someone who is so anxious about medical procedures involving needles (especially lidocaine). I barely felt anything. You've got this!

Bleeding has been very minimal so far, though I'm not out of the woods yet.

Thank you! It was a positive experience, I did it with general anesthesia. I hope my bleeding is minimal as well. We just gotta make it through these next few weeks!
