Is there anything I should do or prepare before an HPV screening or vaccination?

The LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure) is usually recommended to be performed on women with abnormal pap smears that show that the cervix has developed precancerous conditions called CIN (cervical intraepithelial cancer). The LEEP is a minor day surgical procedure that involves the removal of a piece of the cervix in which the abnormal precancerous cells are detected by using a heated electrical loop wire. Local anaesthetic is administered prior the procedure to prevent discomfort.

Progesterone is an important hormone that can effect your ability to conceive and also your ability to maintain a healthy pregnancy. The role of progesterone when trying to get pregnant is to thicken the endometrium (uterine lining) to a desired thickness which is essential for implantation of the embryo in the uterus (womb) and therefore to achieve a successful pregnancy. Low progesterone levels can potentially cause irregular menses which can then affect the timing of your intercourse.
