Brief Answer:
Procedure 8 months ago not related

Detailed Answer:
Unless XXXXXXX cancer was present on LEEP, this is unrelated.

Please see your gynecologist, check thyroid, prolactin and FSH with blood tests. Rule out STD with testing of urine or vaginal swab. A twelve day course of progestin or nightly oral progesterone may correct current episode if you skipped an ovulation due to stress. But that won't solve the problem long term if it's due to underlying imbalance or infection. In my opinion, you need to visit a gynecologist and start treatment.
