Post-Leep Baby Fever..?

I’m currently 12 days post-LEEP procedure. Have been dealing with the typical catalogue of post procedure symptoms, and while the actual procedure was horrible to go through, it’s been a fine recovery process.

I’m 26 and have no kids, no partner. I’m a teacher who honestly thought, hey i’m with kids all day— I might not even need to have my own, as I’ve always felt pretty fulfilled in that area of my life due to my work.

But when I found out my cells were continuing to progress and that I needed a biopsy in March 2026, I cried non-stop after work. I was worried that things would get worse, and if I end up needing a hysterectomy in the future, maybe I’d never even have the option to choose kids.

Now, 12 days post-procedure, I’m thinking a lot about having kids.

I feel really alone because I don’t know anyone else who’s ever had this experience (LEEP, etc.) and I want to know if anyone else experienced any changes in their desire, or a noticeable increase like myself to have kids after their pre-cervical cancer journey started?
