I had the LEEP procedure done  3 days ago. Everything went fine - didn't take long - didn't hurt - no worries.. I was supposed to start my period two days after my colposcoy which was March 5. My Leep was March 20 - still no period - now i'm all for not having a period but how long can this be normal before i need to call my doctor. I'm not having PMS, bloating, cramping or anything - no cramping after the procedure either. I am having a weird buring smell and some gray ash looking stuff when i wipe and on my underwear. Is this normal? kymmys30 Sun, 23 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT The "coffee-grounds" effect is normal. That paste used to stop the bleeding does that when your body pushes it out.In regards to your period, is it normal for you to skip periods? Are you possibly pregnant? Did you tell your doctor you had skipped a period before the LEEP? The doctor should have checked for pregnancy before doing that LEEP. You should still talk to your doctor, in case something else is wrong. herenow Mon, 24 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT
