TTC after LEEP procedure..any succees stories?

Hi there. I am turning 32 tomorrow and my husband and I have a 20 month old son. We were spoiled a little because we conceived him very quickly only 1 month trying, next cycle we got pregnant. TTC a second child now for two months...just got AF and am a bit bummed. I know every pregnancy differs, and its only been 2 months, which isnt long at all. I know I shouldnt expect to conceive as quickly as we did the first time since that isnt the norm...but cant help having that come to mind whenever i am in the two week wait. Timed 'the deed' on 2 of my most fertile days this past cycle, eating a balanced diet, only have a cup or two of coffee a day and i dont drink soda or eat much chocolate so my caffeine intake shouldnt affect things much...but who knows. Dont use lube which i know can destroy sperm unless you use Preseed. Anyway...i had LEEP done in April and fully healed before TTC. My cycles have always been very very regular every 26 days and right on queue AF arrives every month before and after the procedure. Luckily i had a very small area of abnormal cells removed in an otherwise 'very healthy cervix', according to my doc....so i dont know that LEEP would affect anything negatively in my case...but you never know.

I am wondering if anyone else out there in TTC-land has had LEEP, or knows someone who had LEEP done, and went on to conceive relatively quickly? I am hoping and praying for another baby, soon.

The only differences between my first time TTC and now are that i had LEEP, and last time around i did cut caffeine out completely...NO coffee or tea at all when TTC...which i paid for with massive migraines, believe me. This time i am still drinking coffee, but like i said only one or two cups a day. Cutting down to a cup a day now, and hope to reduce to every other day or switch to decafe so that my body doesnt go into shock. Also going to start fertile CM vits tomorrow...because i had read that LEEP can affect or limit your fertile CM that help the little swimmers get to the egg safely. I also take a full prenatal vit with DHA, which i did last time as well.

Well, that is my little TTC short story. I would love to hear from anyone who has gone thru this procedure, or knows someone who has, and gone on to conceive fairly quickly.
