Babies after Cancer
Just wondering if anyone has gone on to having a baby after finishing treatment? Did they fall pregnant naturally? Or if there is anyone out there that still wants a family when they're at that time ...

Hi Nat,
I'm very interested to see how you go - I'm 30, my husband and I were married for only 3 months when I got my diagnosis in March this year. We were trying for a family but I was growing something else instead! My tumour was a triple negative so a bit of a different situation to yours but I've just been through an IVF cycle before I started my chemo as a "just in case". I would strongly recommend being referred to an IVF specialist even if its just to check everything out with you and your husband/partner, we found out that we would have had to resort to IVF anyway due to complications from a hernia my husband had last year. I managed to produce 18 eggs in the cycle but only 1 made it to embryo stage to put in the freezer after fertilisation. We are still hoping that everything returns to normal due to my age and the fact that everything was ok with me in that regard before starting chemo so we will see how we go. Best of luck with it all, would love to hear how you go :)
Cheers,
Trudi
