Anyone have trouble getting pregnant after tx.?

Anonymous

We've been trying for nearly a year and have not had luck.  

Have any of you tried IVF?  Has anyone tried any other fertility treatments?  I am a little worried, because I am a triple negative, and I don't know if there is any issue of my suddenly becoming er/pr+ because of doing this sort of thing. 

I need all the thoughts you can give on this, please!  I want another baby-despite the disapproving looks I get from some when I say that.  I have waited the time my docs have told me to wait, and they say I am healthy enough to do this.  My ovaries are working (although a bit irregular with a 26-31 day cycle, vs. before when it was EXACTLY 28 days to the minute). 

Ok, that's all! 
Thanks ladies-I love you all! 
Love and prayers, Deb

Hi Deb,

I am hoping to try for a baby by the end of this yr.  My onc not really for it, but she thought it will take about 3 yrs after chemo to really be ok.  She warned against any fertility tx.  Have you thought of going to a Homeopath?  We have a homeopath here who is performing miracles with natural remedies and diet! 

Good luck!

What homeopath stuff are you doing, exactly? I haven't thought about that route. 

Also, why no fertility tx?  Because of the horomone issue?  I just dont' know if that is something for a triple neg. to fear. 

So confusing.

Hey girl,

I don't want to start anything bad but....I believe that my in-vetro contributed to my cancer rearing it's ugly head.

I spent $20k....it didn't work. 2 yrs later....cancer. I am trip neg too.

A friend of mine did a colon cleanse and bam! pregnant.

Good luck girl. I know what it means to want a baby.

Hugs, Traci

i just wanted to add that I did a round of ivf and egg harvesting in between surgery and chemo.  i was treated at one of the top hospitals for both cancer and fertility preservation.  all my docs said one round... essentially two weeks of high hormone levels wouldn't make a difference, i had cancer for years already.  later this year, i will be using those embryos to get pregnant. 

you could always go to a reproductive endo and talk abotu your options.  there are things like iui that don't require the same amount of drugs.  if you're ovulating, you may not need the hormonals.
