Want to get pregnant after local-regional reoccurrence!

Sunshine89

Hi everyone,

I am 31 year old. I was diagnosed with BC stage one at age 25 and did chemo AC/Taxol and got my periods back after stopping Lupron. Then at age of 29 i got reoccurrence when i was trying for baby (just stopped tamoxifen for 3 months) but my periods were quite normal. On recurrence i did AC/docetaxel treatment with Lupron and tamoxifen. Now its been 2 year since my reoccurrence i want to try for baby again. I did my last Lupron shot on Nov and stopped Tamoxifen one month ago. Today i had Viginal ultrasound and doc said your ovaries and uterus are still under reaction of medicine and i should repeat it after 2 or 3 mnths. And it takes 3 to 4 mnths for temoxifen to get out of body. But also mentioned right now size of my uterus is half the size of normal. And there is no sign of ovulation. Can anybody tell be how much time it takes to het your period back..i am so afraid that maybe i will never get it again. One more thing on my second round of chemo i also did ovaries suppression to keep them safe. Wondering how much tine it will take to get back to normal.

I agree Sunshine, with wanting to wish you the best! I don't have answers to share but I can relate to what you are experiencing. I am 33 - this is my first breast cancer and my first treatment -- I am currently doing Taxol chemotherapy and I am on an ovarian suppressant. My husband and I had a disappointing attempt to do IVF before my chemo started, but it failed and we could not save any embryos. So I know how stressful and hard these aspects can be.

I also wanted to mention -- there is a mentor support called ABCD (After Breast Cancer Diagnosis) -- you can google them -- when I was diagnosed and needing support I came upon them. You can request to speak to a mentor with any sort of situation. I currently have two mentors both of whom had kids after treatment, but not without their struggles. If you ever want to find a peer who has been through what you're going through I highly recommend ABCD! They are incredibly professional!

I'm standing with you! May your body figure it out and may life find a way!
