Don't worry: The most disturbing thing is that it sounds like your doctor did not explain this very well to you. While i would need more details, if:
1. There was mild dysplasia - pap smears more frequently until the problem goes away
2. There was moderate or severe dysplasia - then you need treatment of the cervix
this should not present a barrier to getting pregnant.

There is no point in trying to guess. It is good that you are getting LEEP. Your impression of a low risk of cancer is correct.
Wish you good health!
