TTC bb#2 post LEEP procedure

mom2aprincesspie

Hubby has been on the fence. He wants another, but I think he always feels like more waiting is safer. Our DD is 4yo and a few months ago I had an abnormal pap, for which I just had a LEEP procedure done. Once I am healed from that hubby said we can try. We've been talking about it for a while and when DD was born we said we should do #2 around the time she turns 5, so the timing is right on. I am nervous and excited to try, however our DD is not biologically his, so he is SUPER worried that he won't be able to make a baby. I however just want him to want to be ready to try, that will make me smile. I just want another little bundle of joy, DD will make a super awesome big sis! Since I am ovulating now, and I can't have sex bc of the LEEP, we will have to wait till January. My fingers are crossed.

Why is saying that waiting is safer? Is it related to your recent LEEP, because you only have to wait 4 weeks (and OB approval in the post LEEP check up) to have sex again. I had a LEEP done in 2011, got pregnant 7 months later, and have yet to have another abnormal pap.

Also, I think he is definitely putting cart before horse on the fear of not being able to conceive. It can take a healthy couple a year to conceive. Unless you have any reasoning to believe there may be an issue, then he is just over analyzing the situation as of right now.

I understand you want him to be ready, but you can't push him into it. Having a child is a joint effort, and forcing him into something he isn't ready is a recipe for disaster. YOU may want a bundle of joy, but if he doesn't, there isn't much you can do but talk with him, understand his feeling and respect them.
